AC enters 2016 with a balanced operating budget thanks to the hundreds of hours of work by both staff and club members. The process starts in September with the staff and moves to the Budget and Robert Nunn Finance Committee treasurer in October. The Property Committee reviews major capital requests. The budget subcommittee met seven times before passing its work to the full Budget and Finance Committee. Many participated in making the process successful, but special thanks is due to Craig Iverson, who chaired the budget subcommittee. The board considered the budget twice and made adjustments. The outcome is a budget of integrity that will serve us well in the coming year. Revenues and expenses are projected at $34,108,000, an increase of $2,357,000 (6.6 percent). The primary contributors are merit increases for staff ($506,487), capital funding ($291,659), changes in PTO benefits to make us more attractive to new employees ($125,675), and enhancing our communications capabilities ($69,000). Full time equivalent employee count has increased by 8.4 when adjusted for the closure of the kitchen and dining facilities last year. These changes and others will cause Senior Family dues to increase $12 (4.68%) to $266. Our capital budget has increased as the building ages. Phase 1 of the clubhouse was completed in 1964 and is now over 50 years old. The aging structure, especially failing pipes, has created the need for unusually large capital projects in recent years: the Men’s Locker Room in 2011, the 50-meter Pool in 2014, the kitchen/ballroom in 2015, and the Women’s Locker Room, which is anticipated in 2016. We’re also doing a better job of scheduling maintenance and addressing potential problems before failure, which sometimes increases costs in the short run but creates savings over time. Our capital budget is funded from initiation fees, transfers from the operating account, and earnings on invested funds. In 2016, we will transfer $5,145,225 from operations to the Property Fund. The portion of dues devoted to capital funding has held steady at about 20 percent over the past five years. Capital expenditures from the Property Fund are often “lumpy,” meaning

Monthly Dues Breakdown

Athletic – $107.30 Capital Funding – $54.45 Administrative and Net All Other – $36.41 Membership Services – $17.23 Property Taxes – $10.53 Food and Beverage – $9.34 Information Services – $8.62 Operations and Maintenance – $8.25 Human Resources – $7.04 Security and Parking – $6.91 The Winged M – $2.17

we spend more in some years than in others even though the funding is less variable. We anticipate $6,944,201 in total capital expenditures in 2016, which includes a current estimate of $3.8 million for the women’s locker room. Capital expenditures are often for things that members don’t see, like HVAC units, electrical switchgear and plumbing, but would notice immediately if they failed.

Celebrating 125 Two thousand sixteen marks our quasquicentennial (125th) year. It’s a wonderful opportunity to recognize and celebrate the MAC community’s longevity and success. The 125th Planning Committee, chaired by Mike Matthews, hopes to self-fund the celebration through event fees and contributions. As part of that effort, the committee hopes to attract 125 contributions of $1,000 each. My family is honored to have made the first contribution, and I hope your’s will make one, too. Please visit www.themac. com>Get Involved>Club 125 or visit At Your Service for a Club 125 pledge card.

Parking Lastly, the Board of Trustees has decided, after receiving a recommendation from the SB7 Committee, “To take a step back from Block 7 so that we can examine all our options for creating additional parking.” We will continue to look for workable options to meet parking demands.

ext month, we begin our celebration of the 125th anniversary of the founding of our club. MAC has been around for 125 years serving athletic, social, community and educational endeavors and competitions since Norm Rich 1891. Few organizaGeneral Manager tions last this long, and I don’t see MAC slowing down anytime soon. While nothing exists forever, our position among the communities we serve is incredibly strong. We focus on our past and our future to remain relevant and meaningful to all. No organization should stand still; nor should it get ahead of itself. Our governance model allows us to be mindful of our past, but always look forward to a brighter future. Our Annual Meeting on Feb. 2 serves as our official kickoff, and a supplement in the February Winged M describes our past and ponders our future. No club can be as successful as MAC without committees volunteering their time, knowledge and skills, and a Board of Trustees that directs and trusts management and staff to execute members’ wishes. My job centers on balancing the needs and wants of the members, committees and Trustees with the staff’s desire to get it right for our membership. We value feedback from our membership and committees. Every five years, a thirdparty vendor conducts a major survey to determine members’ wants regarding facilities, services and the club’s future. We will publish an executive summary in the March Winged M and follow up with comments from Trustees and management in the same issue. We purposely delayed publishing the results of the survey until March so it does not get lost in our voluminous 125th anniversary issue in February, and to allow the board and management more time to understand the feedback and comment appropriately. The Board of Trustees meets prior to the Annual Meeting to choose officers – a president, vice president, treasurer and secretary – to lead fellow Trustees and committees in establishing goals and board charges for the new committee year. The 600 members who volunteer provide a gift of expertise, tradition and experience that cannot be duplicated. I thank everyone for their service in making your club a better place.

New Trustees are sworn in immediately after the Annual Meeting. I want to welcome David Brezinski, John Helmer III, D’Anne O’Neill and Grant Yoshihara as new trustees. They join an existing group that membership has designated to watch over and make important decisions related to club operations, capital spending and the future direction of your club. I welcome them to the board and look forward to working with them moving forward. They have great resumes, and have been dedicated members who already have given much to MAC. New trustees, I promise you that your time together will be meaningful, fellow members will be thankful for your contributions, and you will leave the club in a better position than when you assumed these responsibilities.

A busy month I want to remind you of how busy the club gets in January, with a great deal of members committing extra time and energy to following New Year’s resolutions. We want everyone to practice their best versions of wellness and decide how to workout, play or simply relax. It’s not a bad idea to avoid peak times like the lunch hour, late afternoons and early evenings during the weekdays. Granted, not everyone has a flexible schedule, but we encourage those who do to work around the crowds. How long crowding lasts depends on how hard our members want to practice their resolutions. I am hopeful for the best.

A win for the city Congratulations to the Portland Timbers on winning the MLS Cup. It has been a long time since Portland men earned a national trophy, and we hope this is just the start to many more victories. The Portland Thorns won the NWSL championship in 2013. We look forward to watching both soccer teams pursue another title from the Stadium Terrace next year.

appy New Year! This time of year always brings a feeling of fresh starts. It can be seen in the Exercise and Conditioning Room, with resolutioners reconnecting with their workout regimens and new fitness Ed Stoner goals. Yet the numbers Athletic Director often drop quickly, as it takes commitment to see these initial desires and actions result in lasting change. Some say if done right, creating a habit takes 21 days, while others say 28 days. But how about three years? Are you that committed? In 2015, the athletic managers and I met with thought leader and member, Greg Bell, to explore how to unleash the potential of our team. We read Bell’s book, Water The Bamboo, and discussed a chapter each staff meeting. We learned Water The Bamboo is a metaphor for success. Giant timber bamboo grows like no other plant in the world. It can take three years to break through the ground after being planted, and can then grow 90 feet in 60 days. And, amazingly, you can plant other crops over it successfully during those initial years. The time-tested concepts Bell presented have helped my staff personally and professionally as they focus on the long-term goals and objectives while achieving shortterm ones, too. They also learned how to work together to do so. On Thursday, Jan. 21, we host MAC’s annual Banquet of Champions. This event highlights the accomplishments of MAC’s most successful and inspirational members in 2015, including national champions, the finalists for Mel Fox Amateur Athlete of the Year, and the Joe Loprinzi Inspirational Award finalists. These are members who have consistently put in the time and effort to achieve their goals, whether they achieved them initially or after a long struggle. So what’s the correlation, you ask? This year, Bell is the featured speaker at the Banquet of Champions. So whether to honor your fellow members in their achievements or to learn more about Bell’s message on how to unleash your own potential, I encourage you to attend … and help generate the results you want in 2016 and beyond. I look forward to seeing you around the club as you work to achieve your fitness goals in 2016, and hope to see you at the Banquet of Champions on the 21st! WM

Executive Chef Philippe Boulot and his team are set for a new year full of culinary adventures.

Dining at MAC Has Never Been This Good T oday, MAC is known for having some of the best restaurant and catering options in the city. But that was not always the

case. When the club was founded, there wasn’t even a dining room. When the clubhouse was built, a dining room was added, and in 1919, it was enlarged. Early menus from the dining room reflect national dining trends that were also a là mode in Golden AgePortland: creamy oyster stew; various croquettes; turtle prepared in a variety of styles; relish trays of olives, almonds, and then-trendy celery. Naturally, Sundays featured a chicken dinner. The 1940s were a period of significant development. The dining room and kitchen were updated, with a new cocktail lounge added soon after, and two private dining rooms were also added. German restaurateurs owned most of Portland’s fine-dining restaurants at the time, and accordingly, MAC hired mostly German chefs. Billy Arnold was the club’s chef in the 1950s, and he helped make it one of the “finest dining spots in this area,” according to The Oregonian food writer Nancy Morris in 1955. But the food

around this time was mostly predictable country club stodge: buffets of prime rib, ham, salmon, scalloped oysters, and the like, and daily luncheon specials of surf and turf, seafood combo platters, and “crab supreme.” Maintaining its place on the menu, of course, was the chicken dinner. When Executive Chef Philippe Boulot officially joined MAC in 2009, the club’s three eateries were undergoing a multi-milliondollar renovation. That’s when big things started to happen. Normandy-born Boulot had trained under the culinary demigod Jöel Robuchon, and he shifted MAC’s cuisine from boring country club fare to a menu focused on locally sourced ingredients, skillfully prepared by a team of both enthusiastic upstarts and seasoned experts. MAC’s 60 chefs are likely turning out some of the best food available in Portland, and likely at the highest volume of any restaurant anywhere in the state.

He and the rest of the team investigate thousands of abuse and neglect reports each year. These highly trained officers crisscross the state to find justice for all animals. They also help pet owners who may not have enough resources. They’ll tell the down-on-his-luck farmer about the hay bank so that his horse will have plenty to eat. They’ll talk to a dog owner about the importance of shade, water, and shelter—and then mention the weekly food bank down the street.

My Life As A Zombie

I felt like I was one of the walking dead. I floated through my life, accomplishing one task after another without meaning or purpose.

I was always busy, but I was not alive. At work, at home, at my daughter’s soccer game, I was going through the motions, showing up without really being there. How did I become like this? This was not the life I imagined. Sound familiar? At Carpenter Smith Consulting, we see this all the time. People are overwhelmed, overworked, and worn out, longing to have some meaning in their life and their days. One day my friend Samantha asked, “Have you heard of Carpenter Smith Consulting?” “They have this new online program called The Leader in You Leadership Lab that looks interesting. It’s online and looks both friendly and easy to do. The course is over 9 months but they say it takes about an hour a week (or just 10 minutes a day). I can do that. They say that if you’re really going to change, you have to practice this stuff over time, and I think they’re right. Their focus is on taking charge of your own life. So I thought of you.” Your meaning and purpose become clear when you claim your power, increase your impact, and expand your influence. Me? Change? I could become more than a zombie? It didn’t seem possible. Yes, you can change. You don’t have to be the living dead. Your life matters. You matter. Your leadership matters—to your family, your community, and your world. Leadership is up to you, and each of us has the ability to lead.

Carpenter Smith Consulting

That night I went home and watched the introductory videos. Wow. The Carpenter Smith Consulting team were real people who seemed to understand me. They gave me simple nuggets that I could use right away. I realized that I needed to get better at understanding what I needed and still be there for others. Too many working moms put their own lives on hold. They give until they are depleted. We know first hand that when that happens no one gets what they want—or, more importantly, what they need. To be a good parent, you need to take care of yourself , and you need to fuel your life so that you can fuel the life of your family.

I was tired of being tired, tired of working hard without getting anywhere, tired of feeling like a zombie in a life that no longer felt like mine. In a leap of self preservation, I signed up for the Leadership Lab. Their coaches helped me take a hard look at my life and where I wanted to grow. They helped me set goals. They taught me skills I could use, to communicate with and understand people better to have more success. But mostly, they encouraged me to take back my own life. Change doesn’t happen right away. It takes many small steps. We’ll help you to say ‘no’ to unimportant things and spend more time on the things that really matter to you, like family and work projects that utilize your gifts and talents. We’ll help you become the leader you know you can be. Slowly but surely, I stopped feeling like a zombie, and became a powerful human being. And so can you!

It’s your life. Take it back, starting today. www.leaderinyouleadershiplab.com

5-Year Membership Survey Provides Key Insights for Club Board and Management

big “thank you” to all the members who participated in the club’s 5-year membership survey. Your efforts are important and will improve your and your fellow members’ experience at MAC. This year’s 5-year survey was more customized for member interests than previous surveys and offered a detailed look at key programs. The club used Vista Market Intelligence, Inc., a local market research company, to design and complete the survey. Like previous surveys, a subcommittee was appointed by the board to oversee the survey and determine areas of focus. More than 3,500 members completed the survey during two weeks in October. Survey respondents were almost equally split between male and female, with more than 77 percent entering the club on a weekly basis. One third of the respondents have children who participate in MAC programs. Member satisfaction was high, especially in Exercise and Conditioning, the athletic area of highest use. Members did indicate they wanted updated or enlarged areas. Members also gave high marks to the club facilities and the level to which they are maintained. Staff service received high marks from the membership. Concerns included crowded classes and facilities and offerings that “fit my schedule.” These results continue to focus the club’s energy on finding solutions that will improve the overall member experience. The women’s locker rooms and parking were not topics on the survey. The club is aware of member concerns in these areas and has plans underway to address the issues. More information about the Women’s Locker Room is on page 25 Members were asked to rank their interest in expanding facilities. Members supported improvement or expansion of the Exercise and Conditioning Room, outdoor experience (Sun Deck Pool) offerings, and an “espresso Wi-Fi café.” Overall, the survey provided great information for the Board and staff to act on. Expect to see a more detailed analysis in the March Winged M and on the website. WM

WORLDLY 15 ACRES IN PORTLAND

It’s a place unlike any other. A place where students in preschool through middle school immerse themselves in international languages and cultures. A place where they can explore along a winding, wooded nature trail without leaving campus. Where they can live on the cutting edge in our science and computer labs, create in our Center for the Arts, and run through our gymnasiums and athletic fields. A place that just might leave you wondering, “Where in the world are we?”

The MAC Facilities Department is planning a number of improvements for the Sun Deck, building on the Sunset Bistro and Splash restaurant concepts. New additions include firepits, better kitchen equipment and a permanent water supply.

Two Major Projects on the 2016 Docket Major projects include the Women’s Locker Room renovation and reconfiguring Youth Programs spaces

AC is undertaking two major projects in 2016, along with a number of smaller projects to help make the club a better and safer facility. Major projects include: • The renovation of the basement level Women’s Locker Room • The Youth Programs space realignment project, which continues implementation of the Athletic Neighborhood Plan by optimizing the use of space by youth programs on the second floor. Projects may include work on the Junior Weight Room, Teen Lounge, jungle gym, Athletic Offices, restrooms, associated storage and other facets, as appropriate. Communication of the scope, schedule and budget of these major projects will be shared throughout the year as more information becomes available. Board President David Horstkotte has appointed members to ad hoc committees to oversee the planning, design and construction of the two major projects. Additionally, more than $3 million is expected to be invested in other (not major) capital projects in 2016. The projects are categorized as life safety/regulatory, maintenance repair or replacement, energy efficiency improvement or new construction/equipment. Listed are some of the capital projects slated for 2016.

Overhaul West Elevator - $287,144 Summer – two months of medium member disruption The West Elevator serves as the vertical transportation for the Loprinzi Wing of the clubhouse for members, staff and many materials and equipment. This elevator has experienced an unacceptable amount of downtime during the past few years, primarily due to excessive use and its age. The interior finishes and several individual mechanical components have been replaced over the years.

Telephone System Replacement - $210,000 TBD – no member disruption The current telephone system is 10 years old and is in need of replacement. The project includes telephone switches, replacement of telephones, system configuration, software license and training.

Sports Pub Upgrade - $117,577 Spring – Sports Pub closure for one to two weeks The flooring of the Sports Pub will be replaced this summer. During this time various repairs will be performed to the bar cooling system, TV and sound system, booth upholstery, ceiling fans, and the salad bar.

Sun Deck Splash Projects - $88,190 Spring – low level of member disruption The Splash and Sunset Bistro concepts for the outdoor pool experience at the Sun Deck Pool and decks have been very successful. This request builds on the seasonal Food & Beverage service and includes: • New top coating for the upper Sun Deck • Permanent water supply • Kitchen equipment • Firepits

Planning ahead for 2017 remodels – $35,000 Design development and cost estimating will be done in 2016 in preparation for various remodeling projects in 2017. This includes architectural and engineering services. • Feasibility Study Sun Deck Pool and Decks - $25,000 • Climbing Gym Divider Wall - $10,000

Please see the table below for details. If you need to leave your car in a MAC parking area overnight, let the Manager On Duty (MOD) know in advance of leaving it. In cases where overnight parking has been preauthorized, no violations will be assessed.

Group Check-in Available at Entrances The next time you visit the club with your spouse, child or caregiver, you can all check in together from one adult member’s card. Once one adult on the family’s club account has checked in, the entrance attendant is able to look up and check in other members tied to that account. When any member is checked in under group check-in, it counts as a card swipe and will not count toward failure-to-scan limits. If you’d like to participate in group check-in, let the attendant know when you arrive at the club.

Violation of Parking Policies

House

Overnight Parking Sanction Change The Board recently approved changes to fines for overnight parking. Overnight parking in the member garages is not allowed without prior approval from club management. Fines for overnight parking now begin at the first occurrence, and each night of unauthorized parking during a calendar year is considered a separate and additional violation, whether or not those nights are consecutive.

January 2016

Using the Parking Structure? Be sure to notify the Manager on Duty if you need to leave your car overnight. For example, if a member were to leave his or her car in the parking lot over three consecutive nights without prior club approval, the total fine for that instance would be $225 (first violation + second violation + third violation = $50+$75+$100 = $225). If later in that calendar year, the same member again

Parking violations result in either a warning ticket or a fine to the member’s account. Each violation in a calendar year counts toward progressive sanctioning. For the following sanctions, the first violation is $50, the second violation is $75, and each subsequent violation increases by $25 over the last: • speeding • blocking exits or other vehicles • leaving club premises • disabled parking • overnight parking For all other offenses, the first violation is a warning, the second violation is $75, and the fine for ensuing violations increases by $25. Fine amounts are based on all violations issued to a member account in a calendar year, regardless of the vehicle or driver.

Violations • A 19-year old intermediate member was suspended for two months for disregard for guest policies. The member signed in a social guest who later was found using the athletic facilities without an athletic guest pass. • A 25-year old intermediate member was suspended for six months for the following violations of Club Rules: abuse of members, nonmembers or staff; behavior unbecoming a member; disorderly conduct; physical abuse of members, nonmembers or staff; and a rules violation. The violations were determined from a series of incidents that occurred over several days at the club. The member forced his way into the clubhouse outside of operating hours, threatened an employee, and attempted to swat a radio from the employee’s hands. After being administratively suspended for this incident the member entered the clubhouse and also made an offensive gesture within the club. WM

Conserve and Save, Take MAX to MAC

he popularity of the Timbers creates demand for parking at and near the clubhouse on game days. Thousands of fans coming to Providence Park create traffic congestion and parking headaches. To alleviate these problems, MAC encourages members and guests to use public transportation. The Parking Structure quickly fills to capacity with members viewing the games from MAC’s Stadium Terrace, and those attending at Providence Park. MAC rents space in nearby lots for complimentary member overflow parking, and nonmembers are charged a fee to park. TriMet and MAC provide an incentive for members and guests to use Portland’s convenient public transportation when commuting to the club. On any day of the week, At Your Service exchanges a TriMet ticket or transfer for a free return ticket on the same day. On major congestion days, including Timbers’ game days, members receive two tickets per receipt. Exchanges are limited to the date on the original ticket or transfer.

In Memoriam Bonnie Lea Bennett Aug. 31, 1942-Nov. 25, 2015 Bonnie Lea Cruson was born in Salem and raised by her parents and grandparents in Lyons, Oregon where she attended grade school. She graduated from Stayton High School in 1960. She attended Lewis & Clark College for a semester and then transferred to Willamette University from which she graduated in 1964 with a BA in Art Education. She was a member of Delta Gamma Sorority. Bonnie met her husband David Bennett at Stayton High School. On their first date he took her, a sophomore, to the Junior-Senior Prom. David attended Linfield College where he was a member of Theta Chi Fraternity. They traveled the roads between Salem, McMinnville and Lyons as their love story continued. David joined the U.S. Air Force in January 1964, and was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant. Bonnie and David were married in Lyons on Aug. 1, 1964. During their first assignment, Myrtle Beach Air Force Base in South Carolina, Bonnie taught art at Myrtle Beach High School. When David was assigned to bases in the Philippines and Thailand in 1966 and 1967, Bonnie taught art at South Salem High School. When David was then stationed at Tyndall Air Force Base in Panama City Florida, Bonnie taught art at Bay City High School until they returned to Oregon. While David attended Willamette University Law School, Bonnie taught art at Salem’s McNary High School until their son Josh was born in February 1971. The couple moved to Beaverton, Oregon, in July 1971 after David took a position at the law firm of Keane Haessler Harper Pearlman and Copeland, now Landye Bennett Blumstein. In October 1973, their daughter Marcy was born. Josh and Marcy were educated in Beaverton. Bonnie was very active in her children’s education, serving multiple years as president of the parent-teacher organization at the schools her children attended. She was a docent at the Portland Art Museum and director of its Suitcase Program, which took art out to local schools. She was the director of the Beaverton School District Art Literacy Program for several years during which each grade school student studied a different artist for each month they attended school from the first through the sixth grade. Bonnie’s daughter Marcy was involved in theatre arts during her time at Beaverton High School. The parents of theater arts students were expected to help build sets and sew costumes for the actors in the plays and musical productions. The theatre arts director always conjured elaborate ideas

and demanded elaborate productions. Soon Bonnie was both designing costumes and showing others how to sew them. Often the players in the chorus required identical costumes, but they were not the same size people. Bonnie always figured out how to make the necessary adjustments. When Marcy played a leading role, Bonnie made sure her costumes were stunning. In 1977, Bonnie and David purchased land on the North Santiam River near where Bonnie rode her horse and played as a child and teenager. It was one of her dreams to own property on the river. The property soon came alive with campouts and parties, which continue to this day. Her grandchildren are now just a little older than were their children when they bought the property. Bonnie did not keep the property to herself. It was her joy, and she wanted to share it with her friends. Bonnie was a member of the Multnomah Athletic Club from 1973 until her death. At the MAC Bonnie served as a member and chair of the decorating committee for several years. The holiday decorations were stunning. At age 40 Bonnie began playing tennis. She and her various doubles partners won many matches at the club, and on USTA teams. Her teams won many local titles and played at USTA Sectional Tournaments in Sunriver for many years. She was on MAC teams that went to the USTA National playoffs in 1996 in Orlando and in 2005 in Tucson, playing teams from other regions of the country. She was a fierce competitor on the courts and a consummate lady before, during and after matches. After her children were off to college, Bonnie returned to being a producing artist. She joined LOCAL 14, a group of women artists, more than 20 years ago. She was on the board of Local 14 and served as director or co-director until the last year of her life when she was overtaken by debilitating depression. No treatment could alleviate the darkness. Local 14, an organization that she loved, with members she treasured, has held its annual show at the World Forestry Center in October of each year. Bonnie was a multifaceted artist. She could paint and draw with any instrument and on any surface. Her work was nearly always very detailed and precise, but she was always trying new things, new subjects. During one period Bonnie and a collaborating artist made 39 soft sculpture witches. They sold 37, keeping one each. Bonnie and another collaborating artist made two table size chess sets. Bonnie painted the tables, and her friend made the pieces, one of African animals (Big Game) and the other of insects (Garden Game). The Big Game table is featured in 500 Tables, Continued on page 37 January 2016

ADMINISTRATIVE In Memoriam Continued from page 35 published in 2009. Many pieces of Bonnie’s art grace the homes of people Bonnie never met who purchased her work at the Local 14 shows and at local galleries. Many more were purchased by or given to Bonnie’s friends. Many pieces are also displayed in the Bennett home in Beaverton. Bonnie leaves behind her husband of 51 years, her high school sweetheart and her sweetheart until her death. She also leaves behind her son, Josh Bennett, Josh’s wife, Sheila, and their daughter, Jamie, of Portland, and her daughter, Marcy Stearns, her husband, Nick, and their son, Frank, of Park City, Utah. Her mother, Josephine Ann Cruson, her brother, Buddy Cruson, and his wife, Stella, of Lyons, and her sister Merry Jo McCreight and her husband Norman of Salem, Oregon also survive her. Although Bonnie graduated from Willamette University, her husband David and six of David’s seven siblings graduated from Linfield. When David’s father, a Baptist minister died in 1959, his mother was given a position at Linfield as a dorm housemother. She decided that she wanted also to be a college graduate and graduated from Linfield in 1968 at the age of 70. After her freshman year at Willamette, Bonnie needed to drop out to make money to continue. David’s mother, Grace Bennett, gave Bonnie $800, enough to stay in school. It was nearly all the money she had. She could do that because she had a place to live and a place to have her meals at Linfield. Bonnie and David tried to pay her back years later when they were able, but she would not hear of it. She merely said “Pass it on.” To pass it on, David has made a contribution to Linfield College establishing the Bonnie Bennett Visual Arts Scholarship that will provide scholarships for Linfield art students. Those wishing to make a memorial gift can send a check payable to Linfield College, referencing the Bonnie Bennett Visual Arts Scholarship. Contributions should be mailed to Linfield College 900 S.E. Baker Street, McMinnville, OR 97128-6894. Arrangements can be made for continuing gifts by calling Linfield and speaking to David Ostrander, 503-883-2496. A memorial service and life celebration for Bonnie was held on Saturday, Dec. 19, 2015 at the Multnomah Athletic Club. The depression is now gone. The joy that was Bonnie will continue. In the summer of 2016 a family gathering will be held on her property on the banks of the North Santiam River where her ashes will be placed and where her spirit will always be.

Jerry Donald Giesy July 16, 1933-Nov. 14, 2015 Jerry Donald Giesy was born in Portland at Emanuel Hospital, where he went on to practice urology for over 50 years, retiring at age 79. A beloved physician and team member, his love and respect for his patients, their families, and his colleagues were legendary. Jerry grew up in Lake Oswego, where the Giesy family raised horses and were members of the Portland Hunt Club and the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Posse. Jerry graduated from Lincoln High School in 1951 as student body president, and continued on to graduate from Stanford University in 1951. He attended medical school at Oregon Health Science University, class of 1959. following in the legacy of the Giesy physicians from the historic Aurora Colony. Jerry completed his residency in urology in 1963. Jerry was a leader and team builder in the Portland medical community. He spent many years of his career in leadership positions, including president of the Emanuel medical staff, the first president of the Legacy Portland medical staff, president of the Oregon Urologic Society, and president of the Northwest Urologic Society, Chairman of the Division of Urology at Holladay Park, and founder and medical director of the regional lithotripter services that spurred expansion into minimally invasive surgeries in Portland. A champion of medical and health care innovation to improve outcomes for patients and establish best practice for physicians, Jerry conducted and published dozens of research studies, invented medical gadgets and owned numerous patents. Jerry was a member of the American Urological Society, North Pacific Surgical Association, and a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons and Associate Clinical Professor of Urology at OHSU. Endlessly optimistic about the possibility in every individual and committed to the pursuit of knowledge, Jerry was highly regarded by all for his skills as a teacher and mentor. Jerry always found time to speak intentionally with each person and honored the treasure of their story. Whether to describe a medical procedure or how to manage the sail in a “high wind out of the south,” he was famous for translating complex ideas with a few of his classic diagrams on a paper towel. Jerry never lost an opportunity to generously share his lifetime love of the outdoors cycling, windsurfing, hiking, kayaking, and skiing with family and friends. His favorite place on Earth – the Giesy cabin at Elk Lake was his playground and classroom for anyone who said “Yes” to his open invitation to join him on an adventure to explore the world he loved so deeply.

Jerry was a passionate participant in life, a trailblazer, visionary and our Great Encourager. He is survived by his teammate and wife of 58 years, Barbara (Peterson) Giesy, daughters Julie (Michael) Metzger of Seattle and Jan (James) Brauer of Hood River, and five grandchildren in whom he believed in deeply and who brought him great delight – Matthew (Amandine) BrauerMarzio, Kelsey (Jonathan) Miles, Peter Giesy Metzger, Kathryn Ahern Metzger, Emma Quist Metzger. In memory of the miles Jerry rode and the family commitment to the area, remembrances can be sent to The Friends of the Columbia Gorge, 522 SW 5th Ave. #720, Portland, OR 97204. The mountains are calling – so I must go. – John Muir

Norman Leslie Lee, III July 9, 1933-Oct. 11, 2015 Norman Leslie Lee, III passed away on Sunday, Oct. 11, at sunset, surrounded by his loving family on the Long Beach Peninsula after a lengthy battle with leukemia. Born July 9, 1933, to Clare Aily Lee and Phyllis Day Tisdale Lee in Salem, he was the youngest of three children. His elder brother, Palmer Griggs “Bob,” and sister Mary Louise Lee Burum both preceded him in death. A fifth-generation Oregonian, whose ancestors traveled to Oregon on the Oregon Trail and settled in the Willamette Valley, Norm took great pride in his family, and enjoyed a close relationship with his cousins, the Cheadles. He was particularly close to Richard and Norman. He attended school in Salem, and remained close friends with a number of his classmates throughout his life. Upon graduation, he enrolled in Oregon State College (Oregon State University), joined Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity and was active in campus life. He played the role of “Harvey” in the play of the same name, where he met his first wife, Nancy Jean Halladay, while performing together. Shortly thereafter he joined the U.S. Army, where he became an Army Ranger in the 11th Airborne Division, and a First Lieutenant stationed in Augsburg, Germany. In 1957, Norm married Nancy and the two lived in Germany for several years. They returned to Portland and Norm finished college at Portland State University, earning his bachelor’s degree in political science. While in school, he spent summers working with brother-in-law Gene F. Empey at the Zephyr Cove Lodge in Lake Tahoe, Nevada. He and Gene formed a special friendship and Norm often referred to Gene as his true brother. In 1964, Norm’s first daughter, Laura Kathleen Lee (Dellinger) was born, and in 1966, his Continued on page 38 January 2016

Continued from page 37 second daughter, Michelle Suzanne Lee (Tobin), completed the family. Norm was a devoted father, and spent weekends and vacations teaching his girls to ski, play tennis, build sandcastles, ride bikes, and explore most of the western U.S. and Canada. He and Nancy divorced in 1982. While attending his 30th high school reunion, Norm reconnected with former classmate Patricia Wegner Seamster. The two married in Maui in 1983 and spent 32 years laughing and loving each other as they watched their children’s families grow. He often referred to Patty as his angel and loved her daughter Cindi and husband Kevin Bisenius, and son Jeff Seamster, as his own. His career included more than 25 years in trust banking, along with a variety of entrepreneurial ventures. He never fully retired, as he always had a project of some sort. Norm was an incredible dad who loved his daughters deeply. He formed special relationships with his sons-in-law, Dirk Dellinger and David Tobin. Both were instrumental in advocating and caring for Norm during the last months of his life and he loved them both deeply. He loved his “son-out-law” David Bruncke as well. He was a truly devoted grandpa and loved spending time playing and laughing with his granddaughters, Allyce, Claire and Grace Bruncke, and looked forward to welcoming Allyce’s fiancé Travis, and his daughter, Kaisha, to the family in June. He was also much loved grandpa to Patty’s grandsons, the Bisenius boys, whom he referred to as the “Biseniae,” K.C., Jenner, Taylor, Kierson and Jordan, and to granddaughters Carrie, Annie and Jillian Seamster, and numerous great grandchildren. He was a loving uncle to nieces and nephews (and great, greats as well): Robin, Bruce and Glade Truitt; Stephen, Juliann, Jordan, Jennifer, Ryan, Zane and Jase Empey; Michael, Megan, Elisabeth and Emilie Empey, and Carey Lee. Tennis was second only to family as Norm’s passion. He took up the game as a teenager, and played actively and competitively throughout his life. At the time of his death, he remained nationally ranked by the USTA. Doubles was his preferred game, and he enjoyed playing in tournaments with good friend John Rian, as well as numerous friends at MAC, where he was a member for more than 40 years. Norm was always an active, healthy and happy person. Despite having had two hip replacements, and an aggressive form of prostate cancer (which he beat), he never left the tennis courts, or stopped doing the things he loved. When he was diagnosed with chronic myelogenous leukemia, he faced it like he faced

ADMINISTRATIVE everything else, with optimism! He thought the world of Dr. Michael Heinrich and his team at OHSU. The targeted chemotherapy drugs he took ultimately waged war on his body, and he suffered a series of strokes in June. He was hospitalized for a month, and was released to the care of his daughter Michelle, who was the angel providing 24-hour loving care to him for the remainder of his life, along with her husband, Dave. Norm spent his last few months working hard at physical therapy, enjoying watching the sunsets on the Long Beach Peninsula, feeding the birds, chatting with his friend the chipmunk, playing dominoes, spending time with his granddaughters, enjoying more bacon and French Dip than any human can imagine, eating ice cream and laughing a lot. In the final weeks, the whole family gathered in support of Norm and his tremendous spirit took flight at sunset with his beloved wife, daughters and sons-in-law, and granddaughters surrounding him. He will be carried in our hearts and in our laughter forever.

Dorothy May Bishop Smith Aug. 20, 1921-Aug. 14, 2015 Dorothy May Reynolds was born in Omaha, Neb., on Aug. 20, 1921, the only child of Hubert and Grace Reynolds. She grew up dancing ballet and tap from the age of 7, and continued until she was 55. Her sense of adventure took her to San Francisco, where during World War II, she worked with the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers. She met her future husband, John L. Bishop, in San Francisco. Soon after marrying, they moved to Portland, where they raised their three children in Raleigh Hills. Dorothy was a mother, wife, golfer and dancer. After John Bishop’s death, she met and married Harold Q. Smith and they lived happily in Charbonneau and Rancho Mirage, Calif. She was MAC’s social activities chairman, a board member of the Portland Assistance League and member of the Portland Golf Club. She was independent, active, witty, generous, fun and could light up a room with her smile and one of her vast array of tops. She never said “no” to an invitation and entertained often. Dorothy’s last years were spent at SpringRidge at Charbonneau, where she had many friends who helped her live with her macular degeneration. She is survived by her son, Thomas C. Bishop (Karen Smith); daughters, Linda Erickson (Ron) and Judy Miner (Rob); grandchildren, Madison Miner (Andrea), Michelle Whelan (John) and Sigrid Larson (Andrew); great-grandchild, Opal Whelan; dear friend, Sherry Wadley who helped a great deal with caregiving; and Tamara Bishop.

These local organizations help individuals get back into the workforce by eliminating the obstacle of finding proper interview and work attire. All club members are encouraged to clean out their closets and bring both women’s and men’s business clothing and shoes to the club in January. The goal of Dress for Success is for each woman to leave with a complete outfit to help her feel confident in her interview and land a job. The Best Foot Forward program provides apparel for men seeking or starting a job that requires suits or business casual attire. Currently the organization is especially in need of men’s shoe donations. Appropriate clothes to donate include suits, blazers, slacks, skirts, dresses, shirts, ties, belts and shoes. Please no jeans, T- shirts, athletic shoes, jewelry and evening wear. Starting Monday, Jan. 4, members may drop off donations at the At Your Service center. Both organizations offer a tax write-off.

Balladeers

Celebrating First Pioneer Place Performance It was a first for the Balladeers. In December, the MAC men’s ensemble represented the club for the first time at the Pioneer Place holiday festivities. “What an event! We’ve been looking for new ways to represent the club in the

community and were excited with this opportunity,” said Balladeers Director Scott Tuomi. “I was really proud of our group.” As usual, December also saw the Balladeers holding forth at the Holiday Open House. But it is a pair of 2016 performances that captured most of the group’s efforts: The April 24 (Sunday) 75th Anniversary Concert at 2 p.m. in the Ballroom and the Valentine’s Day Brothers Sing On concert. It is organized by Balladeers Spencer Snow and Karl Wetzel. “This may be the best show we’ve ever had,” said Snow of the free concert, which begins at 3 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 14, at the University of Portland. “We have six groups this year, up from five in past years, and there is a lot of enthusiasm among young men’s choral ensembles about the Brothers concert.” The group holds its second open rehearsal of the year on Thursday, Jan. 7. Male MAC members should show up for a little socializing in front of the Cornerstone Lounge at 6:45 p.m. and think about sitting in on the following rehearsal in the Activities Classroom.

Book Groups

Morning Readers Take Flight in January In prior years, the Morning Book Club has taken a hiatus in January. This year, members decided to meet on Thursday, Jan. 14, to discuss The Wright Brothers by two-time Pulitzer Prize winner David McCullough. This work tells the dramatic story of Orville and Wilber Wright, who taught the world how to fly. MAC Morning Book Club meets at 10 a.m. on the second Thursday of each month. Check the daily schedule of events for the meeting location. –Rea Janes

Activities Evening Group Reads Smiley’s Some Luck The Evening Literary Readers start 2016 with Some Luck by Jane Smiley. This is a sweeping story spanning 33 years, three continents, and a generation of children born on an Iowa farm. The story opens in 1920 with Walter, the patriarch, walking his Iowa farm. Recently home from World War I, he anticipates his firstborn son with his young wife, Rosanna. The family members’ fortunes mirror the fortunes of the nation of this era. Please join the Evening Literary Readers at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 26, for a discussion of Some Luck. The group meets at 7 p.m. every fourth Tuesday in a private dining room. –Martha Godfrey Dixon

Revisiting Easter Island’s Mysterious Past 6:30-8 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 21 Rapa Nui (Easter Island) is widely known for its mysterious past: a remote and deforested island covered with nearly a thousand giant statues. What happened and when did it happen? Rapa Nui also has become the “poster child” for societal collapse resulting from reckless human actions. In this lecture, Dr. Terry Hunt, Dean of the Clark Honors College and professor of anthropology at the University of Oregon, critically re-evaluates the conventional narrative for this mysterious past. He revisits one of the most intriguing questions for the island: How were the colossal statues transported to every corner of the island. Science, history, and

Parker Chiapuzio

Tristan Furnary

When it comes to results, MAC gymnast Parker Chiapuzio is hard to beat. During the 2015 gymnastics season, he won Oregon state titles in the floor exercise, parallel bars and high bars, took second in the still rings and vault and won the all-around title. Those are just a few of his victories and great placements from the past year. But according to Coach Rob Saliski, Chiapuzio’s efforts go beyond his wins. “Even though Parker’s athletic accomplishments point to him being the best male gymnast in the club, the state, arguably the region, and among the top in the country, his No. 1 concern is for his team,” Saliski says. The coach recalled the 2015 MAC Open meet, when Chiapuzio competed while he was sick, because he knew the team needed the points. “Five compete during the finals of each event, and the top three scores count. I knew that if I competed, my score would probably be one of those counted,” Chiapuzio explains. “When you’re working with the guys on the team everyday, you get pretty close. I wanted to give back to them.” Chiapuzio started taking recreational classes at MAC when he was 5, and was hooked. He joined the team a year later, and by sixth grade, was focused solely on gymnastics. “I liked playing other sports, but with gymnastics, there are just so many challenges and different ways of doing things,” he says. “There is a lot of skill and challenge involved, and I like that.” Chiapuzio has also found success off of the mat. He was a U.S. Junior Olympics First Team Academic All-American last year, is a member of the National Honor Society and is involved with Young Life. “Having practice right after school can drain you mentally, and a big part of gymnastics is the mental game. I need to stay focused for six hours at school and another four when I get to the gym,” Chiapuzio says. “It’s taught me to manage my time better and be a little more organized about what I do outside of the gym.”

This year, 17-year-old swimmer Tristan Furnary continued to rewrite history with his accomplishments. Last winter, while competing at Junior National Championships in Federal Way, Washington, Furnary set a new Oregon Record in the 400 Individual Medley for 15-16-year-old boys, and made finals at the Junior National level. His times qualified him to compete at the Winter National Championships, and 2015 Summer Junior Nationals. His time of 3:56.76 is in the alltime top 100 best swims in USA Swimming age-group history. Furnary also set two new MAC records in the 200 Individual Medley, previously held by national champion Matt Rankin since 1985; and another new MAC record in the 100 butterfly, previously held by Carson Brindle, a double Mel Fox Award winner. “Tristan shows continuity of excellence in a sport where it is hard to get to the top, but it is much harder to stay at the top,” says Coach Alex Nikitin. “Most importantly, he continues to evolve and develop and excel in new events and new strokes.” Furnary started swimming when he was 9, after a failed attempt at gymnastics left him sitting on the couch, watching too much TV. He quickly went from the couch to the MAC’s record books. While Furnary is proud to see his name on the wall in the 50-meter Pool, he is more proud to be part of a special team, and says he will be excited if his records fall to some of his younger teammates. “What do those records mean to me? They mean I’m a part of a program that’s moving in the right direction. These records at MAC are made to be broken,” he says. “I’m happy to be part of a club that has improved so much, and it reflects the hard work that our coaches have put in to the program.” Furnary continues to be an excellent student, and supportive teammate and a good role model for all the MAC swimmers. His success in and out of the pool has led to him being recruited by the Yale swim team, where he will compete next fall.

Sonja Johanson

Van Mathias

The MAC Climbing Team has experienced incredible success over the past 10 years, with its members earning individual and team titles across multiple climbing disciplines. But even among the team’s lofty standards, Sonja Johanson stands out. Johanson was the first MAC climber to qualify for the World Climbing Championships, held last year in Arco, Italy. She qualified for both the Canadian and U.S. teams, winning her age group in Canada and finishing second at U.S. Nationals. She went on to finish 13th out of 40 competitors at World Championships. “Sonja’s exceptional performances on the national and international stage has brought significant attention to Multnomah Athletic Club’s traditions of athletic excellence and enhanced the reputation, culture and competitiveness of MAC’s climbing team,” says Member Coach Avery Cook. “Her approach to academics and dedication to speed climbing has established her as a team leader.” Making Johanson’s feat even more impressive is that, until recently, she did not have a dedicated practice space. MAC’s speed wall was completed earlier this year. “I like the adrenaline in speed climbing, because you have such a short window of time to climb in, about 10 seconds for 15 meters,” she says. “It takes a great deal of concentration not to psych yourself out right before you climb. I like the suspense of approaching the wall and the simplicity of a race. Once you get on the wall, you rely on pure muscle memory instead of thinking out each move.” Johanson has demonstrated leadership outside of climbing through her academics and community engagement. In October 2014, she was elected to St. Mary’s Academy Freshman Student Council, and the following month was requested by App Camp For Girls to return as programming intern for their Apple iOS programming summer camps. In December 2015, she was nominated by the St. Mary’s Academy French Department to be a teaching intern at Atlas Academy Immersion, an honor usually reserved for seniors.

Over the past year, 15-year-old swimmer Van Mathias transformed himself from a promising age-group swimmer to a viable contender at the national level. And it all started at MAC. Mathias’ parents, who were great swimmers, started bringing him to the Sun Deck Pool when he was 6 months old, and he joined MAC’s swim team when he was 8. Mathias’ many accomplishments were highlighted by a major mark in the history of Oregon Swimming and swimming at MAC. Last summer, at age 14, he won the 100-metersbutterfly at State Championships with a time of 55.95. The time set a new Oregon record for his age group and was the fourth-fastest 100-meter butterfly in the history of USA Swimming in his age group. He is only 0.14 behind the great Michael Phelps’ time at that age. “I swam a pretty satisfying prelim race (at the state meet), which broke the record. So at Finals, I figured I would have a solid race and have fun. My start felt good, but at the 50 meter turn I swallowed a bit of water,” Mathias says of his record-breaking swim. “I kept my head down and pushed through... when I touched the wall I could hear the entire crowd cheering. I looked back at the board and saw my time of :55.95! It felt amazing and I realized I had done something special.” Mathias also set five new MAC records in 200 backstroke, 100 fly, 200 fly, 200 and 400 IM, which makes him one of the most versatile swimmers the program has ever had. He is currently ranked No 1 in the U.S. among 14-year-old boys, and set his sights on qualifying for the 2016 Olympic Trials in Omaha, Nebraska. He is an excellent student at Beaverton High School with big plans for the future. “My goal is to make the 2020 Olympic Team. I also have a goal of being the first 18-and-under swimmer to break 50 seconds in the 100-meter butterfly,” Mathias says. “I have great coaches and teammates that support me and will help me be successful. I am thankful for the opportunities that swimming has provided me and will continue to provide.”

Andrea Percic Synchro

MAC synchronized swimmer Andrea Percic has continued the program’s tradition of excellence over the past year. Percic was part of a gold-medal winning U.S. team competing in the UANA PanAmerican Games in Calgary, Canada, finished fourth overall at the 13-15 National Team Trials, was fifth in the Junior Olympics solo event, and was fifth in the figure competition out of nearly 400 participants. Percic was drawn to the water early. She started swim lessons when she was 11 months old, and started ballet when she was 4. “I was about 5 years old when my mom first mentioned the idea of dancing in the water to me. I was enthralled by the possibility and was completely sold on the idea,” Percic says. “My first practice was on my sixth birthday. Little did I know, that almost nine years later, I would love the idea of dancing in the water even more than I did then. I can readily say that the day I started synchro was one of the most influential days in my life.” Percic first made the U.S. National Team at age 11, but admits she did not fully grasp the accomplishment. That’s not the case with her recent qualification for the team. “It meant a lot to make the team. All of the time I had spent training, in the pool and on land, had paid off,” she says. “Every hour of training that had felt like an eternity, when my lungs were burning and my legs felt like they were going to fall off, it was all worth it.” Percic also won the MAC team’s Inpsiration Award. Each year, MAC team members vote on the winner. Her teammates credited her with “spreading positivity everywhere she goes,” according to Coach Lucie Svrcinova. “Andrea was added to the combo routine later in the season after another swimmer had to stop training. She learned this routine in a speedy record time. Also, we were able to highlight her solo skills in this routine, which definitely helped to create a better outcome,” Svrcinova says. “Andrea never complained about extra training; or an additional routine to learn or compete in.”

Maya Schell Karate

When Maya Schell won a silver medal in the elite 18-34 category at the U.S. Karate Federation National Championships last year, it was the culmination of four years of training and dedication to her sport. But the foundation for her success at karate was built much earlier. Schell took her first recreational karate class at MAC when she was in second grade, and continued taking classes and competing locally through seventh grade, when her family moved to New Mexico. Schell took a hiatus from karate, but kept playing basketball and softball in high school and college, eventually returning to Portland after school. “I was still connected with people in the karate program here. I still saw some of the people I had trained with,” Schell explains. “I moved back after college and started to reconnect, and that drew me back. I started going once or twice a week to train, then it was three or four times a week, and all of a sudden I was doing tournaments.” Schell says the karate, and kumite in particular, where competitors fight, appeals to her competitive side. “I’ve always been competitive, so once I stopped playing basketball and softball, I think I was looking for something,” she says. “I love training, but I still wanted to compete, so I started with the local tournaments we had always done.” From there, she moved on to regional tournaments and nationals, and will vie for a spot on the national team during U.S. Trials in 2016 in kumite. Schell competes in the elite division in kumite, which is the highest classification. She also competes in the advanced kata division. Kata is a choreographed pattern of movements competitors complete. “Maya has consistently demonstrated her leadership in our karate group by regularly attending our committee meetings and volunteering for any jobs that need to be done, whether it is to be secretary, write Winged M articles or design and implement the bulletin board,” says Sensai Bill Plapinger. “She trains regularly and sets a wonderful example to all of the students.”

Gavin Usher

Lindsay Briglia

Lindsay Briglia and Gavin Usher have learned what it takes to be successful on the racquetball courts, and they have the trophies to prove it. The pair won a national title in racquetball last year while competing with the Lincoln High School team, and have been extremely competitive at MAC tournaments as well. For Usher, it marks his third national title. He won boys doubles during his sophomore and junior years to go along with his mixed doubles title with Briglia. But first, he had to learn to lose. During his freshman year, his boys doubles team dropped its first two matches. The losing, he says, helped make the winning sweeter. Usher started playing racquetball in ninth grade after transitioning from squash, which he had played for six years. While squash helped with hand-eye coordination, the games are different, and Usher earned the resepct of his teammates by quickly adapting.

“A lot of people who are doing really well had played beforehand,” he says. “I think I showed that it’s possible to start your freshman year and achieve great things.” Briglia got involved after her parents started playing squash. She starting playing intramurals at the club, and eventually joined the Lincoln High School team. She is one of just a couple of high school students in the league. She says playing mixed doubles with Usher has made her a better player. “Whenever there’s a point, he leans over and tells me what I can do to make a better shot, or if I’ve done a nice job,” she says. “Both Lindsay and Gavin have shown sportsmanship at all levels of play by being respectful both on and off the courts to opponents and the coaching staff,” says MAC member and Lincoln Assistant Coach Sanjay Bedi. “By showing how to be competitive and respectful on the courts, they are positive role models to their teammates. Both are driven to improve their play by taking coaching sessions seriously throughout high school years.”

Sanjay Bedi Racquetball

Sanjay Bedi grew up playing sports. And as the Athletic Director at Benson High School, he knows a thing or two about organizing athletic events. After he joined MAC five years ago, it didn’t take long for him to put his talents to use in the subbasement, climbing the ranks of the club’s racquetball players and diving headfirst into the community, helping to organize tournaments and coach younger players. While Bedi serves as an inspiration to the racquetball community, he also gets results on the court. He was the 2015 Tournament of Champions A Division champ, and won the open singles, advanced doubles and mixed doubles divisions at the MAC Club Championships last year. He also placed seond in the A division at the Oregon State Championship Tournament. I started playing racquetball at MAC in the spring of 2010. I had played recreational racquetball in the past and thought it would be fun to play again. Once I started playing, the bug hit me and I fell in love with the sport. I started playing both doubles and singles, and joined the intramural league. I filled in at level 8 for someone and then quickly moved up to level 2 the next season. I had two undefeated seasons at level 2 and moved up to level 1, the top level in league play. Over the years, I have had several undefeated seasons and have moved up to being the No. 2 player in the club behind Member Coach David Szafranski.

January 2016 january 2015

In 2011 I became a member of the Racquetball Committee and have taken on the role of running the Club Singles and Doubles Championships as well as other events. I also help to run the fall, winter and spring leagues. I assist in the running of the Tournament of Champions. In 2012 I was recruited to assist in coaching the Lincoln Racquetball Team, comprised of 60 players. In 2013 I took over as Head Coach of the program on a volunteer basis. Our boys won state this past year and our boys doubles team won both the state and national title in 2014 and 2015. As the Athletic Director at Benson High School, I have had to step down as head coach and will instead serve as a volunteer assistant coach this upcoming season. I love the speed and dynamics of the sport of racquetball. I play doubles and singles regularly, always working to improve my game. I have raised my level of play thanks to the many good players down at the courts to work with and against. I not only like to work to improve my game but like to get others involved doing what I can to raise the level of play across all levels including beginners. I enjoy working with lower level players to inspire and coach them to reach their own goals for the sport. I regularly attend the Sunday lower level group play to coach when asked and over the summer I organize competitive play. I do a racquetball wellness clinic. I brought down a yoga instructor and a chiropractor, because we had a series of injuries and part of it is just teaching people how to warm up the right way; how to take care of themselves to reduce injuries. Racquetball is a fairly aggressive sport, and people will hit for two minutes and say, “OK, I’m ready to play.” I am fairly competitive and anything I do, I do seriously and competitively. I like to have fun, but I like to work hard to do my best, so that anyone who knows me would say that no matter what sport or activity I get into, I try and do my best. That is my driving force with racquetball. I really love it and want to get as good as I can at it.

Bill Cordano Decathlon/Golf

Bill Cordano knows a thing or two about Joe Loprinzi and the way he inspired members throughout the decades. When the MAC trainer and legend decided to establish a club decathlon in 1974, Cordano was one of the first people he approached about joining the competition. Forty-two years later, Cordano is one of just two people who have competed in every decathlon. The event helped Cordano, who admits he wasn’t much of an athlete in high school, to blossom in different sports. Over the years, he’s won the Decathlon open category, won his age group, volunteered countless hours at the club and picked up a golf habit to go along with his fitness regimen. Later this year, he will line up for his 43rd MAC Decathlon. My early introduction to Joe Loprinzi created a conditioning experience that became a lifestyle change with my participation in the first MAC Decathlon in 1974. While I was recovering from a fractured elbow, Joe suggested training for that first decathlon would improve the healing process. The decathlon and Joe helped me achieve that goal. I think the key for someone considering entering the Decathlon for the first time is to set modest goals and try to maintain or improve each year. I’ve been a MAC member for 48 years. For most of that time, I was lucky to be inspired by Joe Loprinzi’s tireless work ethic, competitive spirit and guidance. My limited athletic success is owed to the examples he set for all of us.

J o e L o p r i n z i In s p i r a t i o na l A w a r d N o m i n e e s

My success in golf is much more recent. I won the 65-plus division in the MAC Golf Club Championships two years in a row, and had my first hole-in-one in 2008. My father is my inspiration to keep trying in golf. He was in his early 60s when he won back-to-back titles at Columbia Edgewater Country Club. During my middle adult life, I tried to learn to play golf through a series of perplexing lessons and practice, and had little success on the golf course. With retirement, and a clearer mind, I found the ability to recall those lessons and have put them to good use. I serve on committees because I feel like I owe it to the club. It has given me so much. I’ve been in the committee system for 25 years. Generally I’m on two, a sports committee and a major committee. Most years I’ve served on a major committee. The camaraderie is what drives most of the people who do the Decathlon. You set goals every year, and after the Decathlon ends, you try to set some realistic goals for the year. As you get older, realism sets in more. With the decathlon, what drives me is helping other people achieve their goals. I was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation – heart valve flutter – four years ago. The a-fib happened right around the time I had a kidney stone, and the pain was so sexcrucitaitng I think it activiated the a-fib. It’s hard to say what came first, the a-fib or getting older. I don’t try to over exert myself on the aerobic stuff. With the weights, I still try to do the things I’ve done then. But I’m on a medication that prevents my heart from getting too fast, so that interferes with the aerobic exercises. I’ve asked my doctor if I should be doing these aerobic exercises like rowing and biking. He said, “You’ll know when it’s time not to do them.” In spite of the a-fib, I’ve won my age group the last three years.

Jeanne Newmark Synchro

When Jeanne Newmark and her synchronized swimming teammates hop in the pool at a competition, everyone stops what they’re doing and races to the pool deck. Why? Because there has never been a team quite like their squad. Newmark is part of the only team to swim in an 80-90 age group category at U.S. Synchro Masters Nationals. She has been competing at synchro for 30 years, and has been on a team that won a U.S. National Masters Championship 14 year in a row. I started synchro when I was 57. And in a couple of months I’ll be 86. I’ve been with the team ever since. I used to ski every week. And there were several of the women I skied with who were on the synchro team. We became very close friends. They asked me to come out for synchro, but I said no. I was in a tap class on Tuesdays and Thursdays during synchro, and I didn’t want to give that up. They were persistent. They said, ‘Well, just come see us.’ So one day in my tap shoes and tights and leotard I went, and I saw what my friends were doing and what fun they were having, and I thought, “Well, I’ll go one day and just try it.” But of course once I was in the water, I was there forever. It was an incredible group. We shared good stories and bad stories together. There are only a few left from that original team. When I started, I was the

youngest at 57. It’s just hard to explain how close that synchro team was. Our team was a very special team. The first time we won a gold as a team, it was such an amazing thing. A male judge came over to us and said, “I’ve done something I’ve never done before, I applauded.” Another judge came over to us and said, “I had tears in my eyes. I couldn’t believe what you did.” The headlines in the synchro papers said, “Gold Goes West,” because Oregon and Washington had never gotten a gold medal for a team in our age group. For 14 consecutive years we won the team gold medal. And as our team aged, the younger girls were so thrilled for us. Our routines were not as elaborate, but they knew how hard it was for us by the time we got into our 70s, 80s. The last time we were between 80 and 90. There had never been a group of women swimming in their 80s and 90s in the history of synchro. You could hear all of the younger girls – they’re all young to us – saying, “You’ve got to get on the deck!” And everyone would be out cheering for us. It was special for us. It was special for MAC. We’ve had incredible coaches. Our coaches and the pool have been incredible. Just amazing women who have given us the encouragement that we can do it. They’ve been wonderful. The last three years, my daughter Phyllis and I have been doing a duet, and that’s been very special. We won a gold and a bronze and we competed at a world competition. Everybody loved watching us, because everybody who was there was either a daughter or a mother. I stuck with it because I just couldn’t give it up, it was just too much a part of me. It was just so wonderful. I’ve always done something athletic. I used to do ballet classes here. I work out with Irvyn twice a week. I started in exercise classes when I was in my 20s, and I’ve been swimming since I was 6 years old. I was on the Lincoln swim team. I can’t really think of myself as being what the girls say is inspirational. All I’ve done is just hung in there for these years.

An In-depth Look at Oregon’s PCT Join Author and Member Coach Paul Gerard to gain insight on the West’s longest trail

he Pacific Crest Trail: we’ve all heard of it, many of us have walked a little on it, and many have read a book or seen a movie about it. But what is it really like to live and walk on the PCT? My goal is to answer that question during a January talk sponsored by the Walking and Hiking Committee. I’ll discuss my two extended walks along the trail: one across the entire state of Oregon, the other through 200 miles of Washington wilderness, at 7 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 14. An adventure like mine on the PCT isn’t just a long hike, nor even an extended backpacking trip. It’s a state of mind, with everything you need on your back and new views and experiences around every corner. It’s also time spent in the subculture of the trail, as you encounter others on the same path, trade information and stories, work out logistics, and adjust to a life spent walking (in my case) about 15 miles a day, six days a week. So this isn’t just a talk in which I show pretty pictures and tell hiking stories – though I will certainly do both. I want to bring you along on the adventure, tell you what life is like on the trail, introduce you to some of the characters I’ve met along the way, tell you

how it changes your view of things, and give you some pointers for how you might start on your own adventure. For example, how do you get your food out there? What about water? Do you feel safe? What is a typical day like? What if something happens? Don’t you get bored? And what are some pieces of the trail near Portland that I could go check out for myself? Mine will be more a nuts-and-bolts talk, with stories and photos, than anything like Cheryl Strayed’s Wild. In other words, I won’t share my personal pain with you, my mother will be mentioned only briefly, and there won’t be even a hint of sex. But I do hope to entertain and inform you for an hour or so, and who knows? Maybe you’ll be inspired to strap on your own backpack and hit the trail for yourself. Paul Gerald is a Member Coach for the MAC’s Walking and Hiking Committee. He is also the author of several books, including 60 Hikes Within 60 Miles of Portland, Best Tent Camping in Oregon, and Day and Section Hikes on the Oregon Pacific Crest Trail. He will be available after the talk to sell and sign books and answer any PCT questions you may have. Admission is free and all are welcome, although pre-registration does help with event planning.

Climbing

January Contest Displays the Region’s Talent This month, MAC hosts the Youth Bouldering Divisional Climbing Competition, one of just eight divisional championships in the United States. The competition brings climbers from across Division 1, which includes the top 20 climbers in each age group from Alaska, Washington and Oregon. The tournament takes place Saturday, Jan. 9 and Sunday, Jan. 10. In bouldering, climbers try to conquer a path to the top of a wall – often referred to as a problem – that is only about 15 feet high. Bouldering is characterized by gymnastic movement, high expenditures of strength, and problem solving. During the two days of competition, climbers ages 8 to 18 are assigned three to five boulder problems to climb per day, with only four minutes to complete each problem. The competitors are scored based on how far they make it on each problem, with the top 10 qualifiers in each category from the first day advancing to finals on the second day. The top six finalists advance to the Youth Bouldering National Competition in February. The MAC climbing team recently won regional championships as a team, and in doing so, qualified 23 competitors for the Divisional Championship. Stop in to the MAC Climbing Gym during the divisional meet to enjoy a high-energy display of strength and talent, and to cheer on MAC’s athletes.

Veteran Open champ Matt Steele took on younger brother Sean Steele, prevailing in a very difficult final match. Matt won with his typical dogged defense and ambidextrous offensive skills while Sean stayed in the game with a series of stunning offensive serves and kill shots. Stephen Stenberg and Josh Bateman rounded out the top four in the Open group and showed excellent potential to continue their challenges to the brothers at the top. In other action in Salem, Craig Trull won the Super Masters Doubles with his partner, and snagged second place in the Super Masters Singles. This was a noteworthy showing considering that Trull had to survive two round-robin brackets, meaning that there were no players eliminated by losses. It was full tilt all the way.

Seniors Look Back at MAC Careers MAC’s graduating class reflects on commitment, friendships and opportunities after its final season swimming with the club

his year marks the MAC swim team’s largest graduating class of swimmers. All of them are successful students and outstanding athletes. MAC coaches asked them to share their feelings about being a part of MAC’s swimming program for the large part of their young lives. Here is what they had to say: Allie Engstrom, Indiana State bound: “As a graduating senior on the MAC team, I am so thankful for the opportunities and experiences I have gained through the program. But mostly, I am beyond grateful for the support system that my coaches and teammates have provided me with, as it has truly made a world of difference in my life. Being a part of the MAC team has provided me with a second family that nothing else could. The friendships I have made on the team with both my coaches and teammates are ones I will treasure forever.” Tristan Furnary, Yale bound: “Although the MAC Swim Team has challenged me and prompted me to grow and become a better person, I am most grateful for the memories and friendships I have made with my teammates and coaches that I will cherish forever. I think of the swim program as less of a team, and more as a family.” Logan Kojiro: “I have been on the MAC swim team for nearly 10 years. Being a swimmer has given me so many opportunities; I’ve traveled the country, met some extraordinary people, and learned so much about myself from this fantastic sport. I am thankful for all of my coaches through the years, for my teammates, and for my family for making this amazing journey possible.” Catherine Nisbet: “Throughout my years of swimming, I have learned a lot about the importance of commitment and hard work,

but the most valuable thing I gained from swimming is the friendships I have formed with my teammates and coaches. I am very thankful for my team and all of the great memories I have made with them.” Emmy Daigle: “I’m really grateful for the close friendships I have made through my years on the swim team. Swimming can be hard, but the whole team is very supportive of each other, and I’m so glad I’ve had the chance to be a part of it.” Tyler Soo: “Being a member of the MAC swim team has positively changed my life. It has taught me great time-management skills and to cherish every moment of life given to us because we are so lucky. Not many people can say they are a part of a prestigious club, so I do not take anything for granted. I am grateful for you, coaches, who have put so much effort and invested your lives to better ours. It is truly an honor. “The people we grow up with also define who we are. Lucky for me, the swim mates throughout my life have always been supportive, and we continue to unlock hidden potential in each other. They influence me and vice versa. There is no other team in the world I would have rather spent my childhood with, because these memories I’ve made at MAC will last me a lifetime.” Liam O’Shea: “My participation in MAC swimming has been an invaluable part of my life. During my time on the team, I have learned to appreciate the value of a good work ethic, camaraderie, and fortitude. I am thankful for the coaches, who have had a profound effect on me as both a swimmer and a person, teaching me lessons both in and out of the pool. While my time on the MAC team may seem brief in the scheme of life, it will have a lasting impact on me.” MAC Coaches and Swim Boosters wish you the best of luck in college. Congratulations, MAC swimmers! WM

The IM season was capped by a tournament with the following results: Stephen Stenberg won the Open, Steve Grow repeated his A class win, and Pete Greer and Marty Boozer handled the competition to take the doubles crown. Mike Steele reports that planning is well under way in preparation for the National Masters Singles and WPH Pro Stop to be held at MAC in early May. This event will showcase the top players in various age groups starting at age 35, as well as the top pro players such as Paul Brady, Sean Lenning, and Emmet Peixoto.

Swim

Swim the Great Lakes Without Leaving the Pool The annual Great Lakes Swim Competition starts, Monday, Feb. 1. We’re looking forward to MAC’s continued high level of member participation and tradition of achievement in this event. The yardage swum by open lap swimmers, masters, triathletes, and MAC swim teams has delivered three victories in the past four years, and a total of five wins since MAC started participating in 2010.

January 2016

The Great Lakes Swim Competition is open to MAC swimmers of all ages and ability levels. In this event, MAC competes against other Division 1 clubs in North America. The club swimming the most combined total yards in the month of February wins. MAC member participation is free and simple: Open lap swimmers record the distance of each swim on a card located in the pool of their choice. Swim team and Masters coaches report combined totals on behalf of their swimmers. The Aquatics department collects, tracks and calculates totals for MAC. This competition is a fun way to challenge yourself and your MAC colleagues. If swimming already is essential to your weekly workout routine, this event is the perfect time to set your next target for improved conditioning and have an easy means of measuring and tracking your progress. If you’re just getting started as a swimmer, this is an opportunity to gain a greater appreciation of swimming as a lifelong skill and fitness activity that can become your primary source of physical fitness, or be used to supplement other activities. Additional information about the Great Lakes Swim Competition is posted outside each of the MAC’s pools.

Art in the club

New Ballroom Art from Prolific Portland Artist Mel Katz M

el Katz, a prolific and dynamic artist, has played a prominent role in the Portland art scene for over 50 years. He’s been an instrumental figure in the region’s contemporary art community and recipient of fellowships and awards. Katz is a retired PSU professor of art, and mentor to many notable Northwest artists. He has been exhibited innumerable times in solo and group shows throughout the country. His work is frequently commissioned and collected by corporate and public entities. His work is included in the collections of the Hallie Ford Museum of Art, Portland Art Museum, the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art, the Seattle Art Museum, the Tacoma Art Museum, the Oregon Arts Commission, the City of Seattle, and many national corporations. Katz was the subject of two major Oregon retrospectives in 2015. As part of the recent ballroom renovation, MAC acquired two metal sculptures by Katz that can be seen at the south entry to The Ballroom. Now, we have the opportunity to learn about the evolution and the process of the work Katz continues to pursue. Join the arts subcommittee from 6-7 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 27, for an artist talk accompanied by a slide presentation. There is no charge for attendance but registration is required. WM
