K, it is a top finding in survey results, it is perhaps the No. 1 topic of casual locker room conversations, it has been discussed by numerous club committees, and it does not seem to Robert Radler have been addressed PRESIDENT to the satisfaction of the majority of MAC members. Of course, I’m talking about parking at the club. Our current Parking Structure can only handle so many cars, and during peak times, we simply do not seem to have enough space. So, what do we plan to do about it?

First, let’s look at the supply side of MAC parking. The MAC owns 673 stalls. For the peak times, we rent another 116 stalls at Portland Towers and 71 stalls at the 18th Street U-Park. Several committees have spent much effort and time in investigating MAC parking issues.

I am not going to go into all the parking supply complexities involving properties the club owns, potential partnerships with area land owners, neighborhood concerns, etc.

Instead, I will just note that those committees concluded we will need approximately another 300 parking spots. If we could lease more parking in the nearby neighborhood, it could cost as much as $650,000 per year for those 300 stalls to be available when we need them, and this is a very rough estimate.

To put that cost in perspective, a $1 dues increase amounts to about $94,000. That is, of course, assuming we could locate reasonably priced leasable parking within walking distance of the club. At this point, that leasable parking is only a possibility.

If we were to build stalls and own them, it would cost roughly $40,000 to $65,000, plus the cost of insurance, maintenance and property tax. The city and neighborhood would have input into MAC building such parking and, as you may anticipate, they probably would not be supportive of the club building a parking lot.

Anyone who has had the dubious pleasure of suffering through an Economics 101 course – yes, I am one of those odd folks who has an undergraduate degree in economics

– may dimly recall that opposite the supply side is the demand side. The MAC parking demand is a product of the club’s success.

The club has seen a significant increase in facility/program usage, which is at least in part driving the parking demand.

MAC could try to reduce the demand for parking spots, thereby reducing or eliminating the challenges and costs of securing additional parking supply. The committees that evaluated our parking issues did make some suggestions for reducing demand. These suggestions included: charging nonmembers for parking, limiting parking passes issued to each family, charging members for parking, continuing to promote the use of public

Our current Parking Structure can only handle so many cars and during peak times, we simply do not have enough space. transportation, and implementing a pilot program to test the impact of subsidizing Lyft for participants of large events. These suggestions are being considered within the context of our desire to drive down parking demand without driving down member participation.

Club management and the board are going to pursue our options for addressing both the supply and demand sides of the parking equation. We are talking with nearby landowners about ways to increase our parking supply. I am not that optimistic we will be able to increase the supply at a reasonable price. Instead, the board and management believe we will have far more cost effective and near-term success with efforts to reduce parking demand.

In the next several months, we are going to try to reduce demand through a graduated series of steps implementing at least some, if not all, of the committee suggestions. Please remember that MAC is perhaps the only major urban athletic club in the country that does not charge its members for parking outside of dues. For those of you who will be unhappy about some of the club efforts to reduce parking demand, keep in mind the math you just did for how increasing parking supply would impact your dues.

n May, Valerie and I had the opportunity to watch our twins, Max and Madison, graduate from college. Another big change and exciting memory to check off our bucket lists!

The ceremony’s Norm Rich pomp and circumGENERAL MANAGER stance were fraught with meaning. We weren’t the only family to witness our children’s life-changing moment and experience the change ourselves. Although we will get the biggest raise of our lives, we no longer will have the opportunity to share new college stories.

In the professional world, our graduates will learn life lessons and practice street smarts while using what they learned from years of formal education.

Watching our children trying to understand and make sense of these transformations is meaningful and rewarding. The changes are life altering not only for them, but also for Valerie and me. Our nest will become emptier as our sons’ jobs bring added responsibilities, less family time and other unknown changes. Our goal along the way has been to provide a great education for our children and to set them up for success.

I spoke of change in my May Manager’s Column and want to continue with that theme as the club undergoes more transformations. Our new marketing director, Jen Scott, has realigned her department to be more member-friendly and to improve communication. Jen is getting feedback from a recent member survey and interviews with members who were selected by the focus group facilitator. We hope to better understand member needs when booking reservations on our website and making incremental improvements from what we learn. Communications Director Michole Jensen will leave MAC at the end of June to pursue other opportunities. I want to thank Michole for his 26 years of hard work and dedication benefiting our entire membership. His service has been meaningful and rewarding to members and staff.

More positive changes are in store with the newly created technical director

position. Much technology has been added over the years without the benefit of adding much staff to support it. New Technology Director Karen Ortiz will work with our team to achieve quicker, better results. We welcome her to MAC. Our new Athletic and Wellness Director Phil Galvin started a few weeks ago. He is getting to know his staff and work with them to manage the largest private athletic club in America. Managing 20-plus sports is difficult when the goals of each sport are different and competition for operational and capital budgets is fierce. Phil is reaching out to the past 10 athletic chairs to get to know them and seek advice on how to best accomplish a long list of wants and needs.

Phil also is attending committee meetings and getting to know as many members as possible. Feel free to reach out to Phil and get to know him.

Change creates challenges and opportunities to make us all better.

The addition of a community relations manager was another anticipated and budgeted staff position. Martha Richmond joined us in May to fill that role. Martha has a wealth of knowledge partnering with the communities that make Portland the great city it is. She will be getting to know our neighbors and working with them to share all the good things MAC does for our neighbors in Goose Hollow and greater Portland.

As you can see, change within our organization has been robust, much as it has been with my family and others who make up MAC. Change creates challenges and opportunities to make us all better.

Join us in the Sunset Bistro and Splash all summer long to enjoy spectacular Oregon sunsets and great food and drink. Our dining menus will be enhanced and expanded with an indoor kitchen that will allow for more outdoor seating and opportunities for socializing with fellow members and friends.

This month we celebrate the birth of our country and its freedoms and liberties. May your Fourth of July holiday be sunny, full of summer memories and positive change! WM JULY 2017

s we head into the heart of the summer, I cannot help but be thankful to live in such a great country. While I’m certainly aware that the struggles of life are real for many, the immense opportunities that we have around us are overwhelming. To have the ability to choose our attitudes, make choices, chase dreams and pursue our passions ... amazing!

Phil Galvin Perspective is a powerful thing.

ATHLETIC AND WELLNESS DIRECTOR As I settle into my third month here at the club, I continue to have a laserlike focus on the club’s cleanliness. Along with the rest of MAC’s staff, the athletic department should have a high participation level in the cleanliness of the building. As a member, I can assure you that we will continue to improve our efforts in this category. I want to thank the many members that I have observed picking up after themselves, wiping off equipment, etc. It takes an army!

I also want to make everyone aware that starting in August, you will see more of an athletic staff presence in the club on the weekends. We are absolutely aware that the club is busy during that time – especially when school starts in September. We will have a leader within the department assigned to be present in the club from 9 a.m.-5p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. This person will be out and about, working with the existing Manager on Duty program to ensure the safety and well-being of our members.

Incredible Success The club continued to build on its considerable athletic success in June, highlighted by our climbing and racquetball groups. Member Dylan Reid captured the U.S. National Open Division Racquetball title in Tempe, Arizona, dominating the tournament from start to finish.

He is now rated the top amateur player in the United States, an astonishing accomplishment in any sport at any level.

MAC’s Climbing Team also had much to celebrate in late May, finishing in first place for the sixth straight year at regional championships. Eight MAC athletes were crowned regional champions. So much daily preparation and commitment goes into athletic success at this level; congratulations to both groups.

I also would like to celebrate the incredible accomplishment of member Phyllis Johnson in gymnastics. I had the opportunity to meet her in my first week here at the club.

Her endearing way made an instant impression on me.

Little did I know that, even at age 91, she still participates actively in the sport. She is clearly an inspiration to so many MAC members, and it is my privilege to work in the same club in which she belongs. Thank you, Phyllis, for motivating each of us to get out there and go for it.

Please do not hesitate to stop and introduce yourself if you see me in the club; it would be my pleasure to assist you in any way that I can. Our members and their needs come first. WM

Jay Wilson is the head tennis coach at Lincoln High School, a senior member and a former member coach. For the 2016/2017 season, Jay was named Coach of the Year for Lincoln High School. Jay has established the Lincoln men’s tennis team as one of the best in the state, with a fourthplace finish in 2015, a third-place finish in 2016 and a second-place finish in 2017. Lincoln tied a state record in 2017 by qualifying 10 players for the state tournament, and competed in the 2017 National High School Tennis All American Team Invitational—the first team from Oregon to compete in this event.

When he is not coaching, Jay is the CFO of a $500 million distribution company and plays on the MAC 5.0 USTA team.

Lara Rix is a senior at St. Mary’s Academy and a lifelong MAC member.

A talented middle- and long-distance track runner, she won both the 3,000- and the 1,500meter runs for the second year in a row at district championships and set a new St. Mary’s record in the mile this year. She earned a fourth-place finish and set a new personal record in the 3,000meter event at the OSAA 6A State Championships, and earned a first-place finish and set a new personal record in the 5,000-meter event at the Axemen Distance Festival, where she beat the second-place finisher by more than 2 minutes.

Lara will be running at Washington University in St. Louis next year.

Faye Levinsohn recently joined MAC Events and Catering team as event specialist. She will serve as a liaison to the Family Event and Culture and Style committees, helping to plan events like the annual Street Fair and Father-Daughter Dinner Dance. Levinsohn is a native of northern England but has lived on the West Coast for 17 years. She has worked in hotels, restaurants and catering for her entire career. Levinsohn graduated from the University in London with a Performing Arts degree, and is the proud mam of two boys, Eli and Charlie.

When she’s not hanging out with the family, you are likely to find her hunting down unique items at thrift shops.

Tucker Dordevic was named the Lacrosse Player of the Year at the annual Oregon Sports Awards in June. The Jesuit senior finished the season with 85 goals and 22 assists as Jesuit went 20-2. Dordevic accepted the award on crutches, as a knee injury forced him to sit out the final game of his career. But that won’t hurt his future in the sport. He will play for collegiate powerhouse Syracuse next year. While he was originally slated to play at Delaware, a growth spurt late in high school propelled him onto the national scene.

He is one of 44 seniors selected for this summer’s Under Armour AllAmerica Lacrosse Game, and is one of the most accomplished players the state has seen.

MAC climber Tori Siegel won the USA Climbing Divisional Championship in the female youth A category during the divisional tournament in Anchorage, Alaska. Siegel led an incredible team effort from MAC, which finished second overall in the division behind climbing powerhouse Vertical World of Seattle.

MAC climbers scored eight podiums in speed climbing, and another three in sport climbing, with Gabe Laurent and Sonja Johanson winning divisional speed championships. Seventeen MAC climbers qualified for national championships in Atlenta in May, with several more liekly to qualify for world championships in Austria later in the year.

he Multnomah Athletic Foundation exists to provide character- and confidence-building opportunities for youth with limited access. We fund athletic programs in the Portland metropolitan area through community grants and scholarships.

The foundation proudly manages a scholarship fund to honor Joe Loprinzi – an outstanding athlete, a supporter of education and youth athletics, and a longtime fitness instructor at Multnomah Athletic Club. He inspired those around him with his enthusiasm for fitness and dedicated 60 years to improving the lives of others. This year, the Multnomah Athletic Foundation awards

$29,000 to three graduating high school seniors and two past program recipients.

All three of the honorees this year would make Joe smile!

They are involved in our communities as volunteers and social catalysts. They quite simply bring out the best in others.

These individuals exemplify dedication to academics, athletics and being an active part of their communities.

Congratulations!

Stanley L. Cohan, M.D., Ph.D. Medical director Providence Multiple Sclerosis Center Education and training • Undergraduate: Kenyon College • Graduate/medical school: State University of New York Downstate Medical Center

Where did you grow up?

New York City and its suburbs.

Why Providence?

I built my career here because Providence provided opportunities to bring the highest level of clinical care to patients with multiple sclerosis and to create a robust clinical research program.

What’s your dream for Providence?

My goals are twofold: To educate physicians and the public that multiple sclerosis should be treated assertively, and to provide comprehensive care that encompasses the many issues facing people with multiple sclerosis.

Your hobbies?

Art, music and travel.

Major achievements at Providence?

We established the Providence Multiple Sclerosis Center, which now cares for more than 2,500 patients from Oregon and throughout the West Coast – more than any other facility in

To learn more, visit: www.providence.org/MS

Oregon. We also developed (in partnership with the Oregon Chapter of the National MS Society) the Pacific Northwest MS Registry.

With 4,000 people currently on the registry, this helps us better understand MS and improve the care for all patients with this disease.

Who were your mentors?

My patients and their families teach and mentor me every day!

Why does philanthropy matter to your work?

Without philanthropy we couldn’t conduct quality, independent research free of the vested interests of outside groups. Because of our donors’ generosity, we can pursue research that has the well-being of our patients front and center. Together, we’re using our energy, resources and knowledge to create a regional network so patients can receive the highest standard of MS care, regardless of where they live and receive their care.

Martha Richmond at the Kings Hill MAX Station, which was constructed with funds from the club.

Building a Better Community Connection Martha Richmond recently joined MAC as the new public relations specialist

I

t’s hard to imagine someone better qualified to serve as MAC’s first community relations specialist than Martha Richmond.

The longtime Oregonian joined the club last month after a decades-long career that included jobs at some of Portland’s bestknown institutions. She most recently served as director of corporate communications at the Port of Portland, and before that, was director of communications for the Portland Development Commission, and advertising and PR manager at Portland General Electric. A few months after retiring from full-time work, she came across the opening at MAC. Richmond grew up in Middletown, Ohio. She moved west to attend the University of Oregon and never left. She lives in Portland with her husband, Bob, and their standard schnauzer.

After spending a few weeks settling in, Richmond sat down to discuss her work at MAC. What drew you to the job?

“The challenge, as it was laid out, was very interesting to me.

Having lived in Portland for 30 years, I’ve always admired the club. I have many friends who are members, and I felt that it was someplace I could make a difference.”

The club wants to improve its relationship with the community. What are the first steps?

It’s a two-way process. One part of it is working to increase knowledge, understanding and appreciation of the role and the contributions of the club throughout the community, and then building better relationships and support through that communication. The second part is to engage with the community and listen to their needs, and look for areas of alignment and agreement, then endeavor to work toward some mutual goals. Those goals may not be solely beneficial to the club, but benefit the community as a whole.

In the past, we’ve been reluctant to promote the club. Your position marks a shift in direction.

I’m looking to rebuild trust and open new lines of communication. We may need to go outside of our typical comfort zone in reaching out. It has been said that the best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time to plant a tree is today. This is a long-term process. It’s not going to take weeks or months, it’s going to take years. It takes a commitment not only from me, but from club management and club members. We have to take actions that are strategic, authen­tic and consistent, not sporadic. One of the things we learned just in looking back at our past is that the club was most successful and enjoyed support when it was actively and consistently engaged in the community. Conversely, the club was most challenged when it was disengaged from the community while working toward a goal that required some sort of support.

My take is that the club is part of the fabric of Portland. It has a proud 125-year history. It does really great things in the community through the Multnomah Athletic Foundation and through hundreds of other outreach and volunteer activities. We just need to make sure more people know about it to build that base of understanding and support.

What are some potential roadblocks?

The problem we’re facing is that even though those good things are happening in some circles, we’re seen as an insulated club that’s disconnected from the community. That may be how we’re perceived, but that’s not reality, that’s not who we are. I’m going to look to our members to be ambassadors for the club, by using existing relationships in the community to build upon support. It’s important to remember that an organization’s success is also determined by those outside of it. An organization’s members may think it’s a great thing, but true success happens when those outside the organization feel the same way. WM JULY 2017

TRANSPORTATION

Parking Problems?

Take MAX to MAC The Member Parking Garage is packed on Timbers game days, when thousands of fans descend on Providence Park. Beat the traffic gridlock by taking MAX to MAC. TriMet and MAC provide an incentive for members and guests to use public transportation when commuting to the club. On any day of the week, the Concierge Desk 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.

Multnomah Athletic Club is served by the King Hill MAX Light Rail Station at Southwest 18th Avenue and Salmon Street, as well as several bus routes. MAC was actively involved in financing the Kings Hill Light Rail Station to encourage members and guests to use alternative transportation to the club.

Taking light rail or a bus is a great way to contribute to the health of the environment and avoid overcrowding in the member Parking Structure.

ADMINISTRATIVE In Memoriam Edna Mae Fullman Nov. 21, 1925-March 6, 2017 Edna Mae Fullman died peacefully at her Wilsonville home on Monday, March 6. She was 91.

Edna was born on Nov. 21, 1925, in Savannah, Oklahoma, to Edward and Mattie (Garside) Blackburn. She spent her childhood in Stringtown, Oklahoma, and graduated from Stringtown High School in 1943. During World War II, the Blackburn family moved to Oregon and lived for a time in Vanport. In Portland, Edna worked for Pacific Bell as an operators’ supervisor and in accounting. While at the telephone company, she met Jerry Fullman, and they were married in Portland in July 1958.

Edna was a devoted mother to son, Jeff, and to daughter, Dana. She had married into a skiing family and, while she never became a skier herself, Edna was always there with bowls of hot chili when Jerry and the children came home from a day on the slopes. The Fullmans enjoyed many years together at their family cabin in Government Camp.

Edna was a longtime member and Worthy Matron of the Rose City Chapter of Eastern Star and of Nydia Temple #4 Daughters of the Nile. In 1982, she served as queen and traveled extensively throughout the United States in that role and in other positions. She was dedicated to the temple’s mission of supporting Shriners Hospitals for Children.

She also was a member of Multnomah Athletic Club for 44-years.

Edna loved the Portland Trail Blazers.

She and Jerry held season tickets for 34 years, relinquishing those tickets only when failing health made it difficult for her to get to the Rose Garden.

Edna enjoyed traveling and accompanied Jerry to faraway places including Australia, Egypt, Spain, Russia and others. Closer to home, Edna loved spending time at Roads End on the Oregon coast. She watched the beautiful ocean sunsets from her beachfront window and particularly enjoyed when friends and family would arrive to share “beach weekends” at the family home.

In 1987, Edna became grandmother to twin grandsons, Chris and Michael. She doted on them until the end of her life. She was interested in every aspect of their lives. At family gatherings when asked how she was doing, Edna would always say, “I’m fine now that I have my family with me.”

Edna is survived by Jerry, her husband of 59 years; by her son, Jeff Fullman (Anne Voegtlin) of Sherwood; by her daughter, Dana Fullman Manning, of Tigard; by her grandsons Chris Fullman of Providence, Rhode Island, and

Michael Fullman of Los Angeles; and by a niece, Jerri Lee Bennett of Captain Cook, Hawaii. She was a loving sister to Jeannie Webster and Margaret Merritt, both of whom died in earlier years.

The family would like to thank hospice support and caregiver Maureen Darrow, who became a dear friend and helper to Edna for the past three years.

Herbert Wayne Goodman March 22, 1923-Feb. 16, 2017 Dr. Herbert Wayne Goodman passed away peacefully in his sleep Feb. 16, 2017.

He was 93.

Though Herb’s strength had been declining during the last months of his life, he remained his enthusiastic, loving and delightful self. He was hospitalized for his last week and had the company of friends and family before he passed away.

Herb was born in Portland, and lived nearly all of his 94 years here. His parents were George Goodman and Sarah Ethyl Goodman, and his sister was Barbara Goodman Deutsch.

He graduated in 1940 from Washington High School in Portland and was an alumnus of Reed College and Stanford University.

He was awarded a doctor of dental surgery degree in 1945 from Northwestern University in Chicago, and also served there in the Navy during World War II. He was married to Suzanne Berst Dolman for 31 years. They had four amazing children, Candace, Darcy, Sara and Julie. Herb practiced dentistry in Portland from the late 1940s until the late 1980s. He was a member of the Oregon State Board of Health, serving as president from 1965-67, the Oregon State Board of Dentistry, serving as president from 1992-93, and also served as a clinical examiner at the Oregon School of Dentistry at OHSU. Herb had a great interest in the common good, in public health issues, in equality and fairness. He deplored all forms of injustice and was politically engaged, particularly in issues concerning Portland and Oregon, throughout his life. He was active in the City Club of Portland and served as president from 1970 to 1971. Herb also was active in the Democratic Party, and worked raising funds for the CASA advocate program for children. Between 1994 and 2004 he served on the Board of Trustees of the Oregon Humane Society, including two years as president.

Herb loved the Oregon outdoors, especially Cannon Beach, new technology and traveling. He took up skiing and fishing as a child and enjoyed them most of his life. Even after 90, Herb kept active, traveling to Paris and Hawaii with his special friend, Patty Stember.

In autumn of 2015, a fall and a broken leg couldn’t keep him from traveling to central

Oregon to celebrate the wedding of his granddaughter, Gena Goodman-Campbell.

Having grown up and spent his working life in Portland, Herb had many old and new friends of all different generations, and became great friends with many of his patients. Herb joined Multnomah Athletic Club in 1965 and in 2017 was still meeting his friends there.

Herb is survived by his children, Candace Goodman, Darcy Goodman, Sara Goodman, and Julie Goodman and their respective spouses; by his grandchildren, Adrien and Alex Leavitt, Gena Goodman-Campbell and Maximillian Lundgren-Goodman.

Eugene “Jeep” Lowe May 14, 1928-May 24, 2017 Eugene “Jeep” Lowe completed his 16-year journey with Alzheimer’s on May 24. He stayed a gentle person throughout his illness. Jeep lost most of his ability to speak, but he frequently responded to assistance with a “thank you,” including the evening before he died in his sleep.

An Oregon native, Jeep was born in Salem to Jessie and Charles Lowe. He went to Englewood and McKinley Elementary Schools, Leslie Junior High and Salem High School. He was active in sports including football, basketball, track, fast pitch softball and horseshoes, and also was president of the National Honor Society.

Jeep enlisted in the Army in May of ’45 as he completed his senior year. He was called to Fort Lewis where, after the receiving officer discovered he could type, he spent his entire year of duty processing discharge papers for soldiers leaving the service.

When Jeep was discharged, he entered Willamette University with the goal of graduating with his class. This meant special workshops and some 20-hour semesters. This included satisfying his science requirement his last year in a 7:30 a.m. biology class that included a 17-year-old freshman with a long braid, Ellen Marie Christiansen. They married after she graduated and became the U of O municipal reference librarian.

Jeep maintained a lifetime association with Willamette through alumni leadership, chairing many scholarship and capital fund appeals. In 1972, Jeep was honored with the Willamette Alumni Citation Award.

Jeep’s job history began at age 14. He started working part time in Salem grocery stores, a pattern that continued until moving to Portland in 1953 to be an assistant in the trust department of the U.S. National Bank.

In 1958 he began his career in financial planning, becoming an insurance broker. When he and his family moved to Salem in 1963, he added condominium development to the mix.

ADMINISTRATIVE In Memoriam Continued from page 027 Jeep was active in the lives of his children, Kathe and Roger. He was Chief Walking Deer of Indian Guides, coach of an undefeated church league basketball team and chair of the Local School Advisory Committees at Parrish and North Salem Schools.

Jeep needed 24/7 care the last four years of his life. He was able to be at home with his wife until his last month because of the support services of the Kaiser Foundation Palliative and Hospice Care Teams. There also was assistance by the Cedar Sinai Park Adult Day Services Team, the Caring Heart Caregivers, Hopewell Hospice Respite, and the Portland Fire Bureau EMD responders.

On April 13, Jeep went to the Hillside Care Manor with the continuing participation of the Kaiser Foundation Hospice Team. He received quality comfort care. On May 14, the manor facilitated Jeep’s 90th birthday party with his family, fellow manor residents and their families, for it was also Mother’s Day. Ten days later Jeep died in his sleep.

Jeep is survived by his wife Ellen Christiansen Lowe, his daughter Kathe Walker (Bob) and son Roger Lowe (Laurie Ashworth), his grandchildren Reggie Walker, Jessi Lowe Salazar (Norris), Jared Lowe (Caitlin) and

Justin Lowe. Two great-grandchildren are expected in June.

Hillman Lueddemann, Jr. Feb. 25, 1924-Feb. 24, 2017 Senior Family member Hillman “Lueddie” Lueddemann Jr. passed away Feb. 24, 2017, the eve of his 93rd birthday.

Lueddie was born in Portland to Gertrude and Hillman Lueddemann Sr., and was an Oregonian through and through. After attending Phillips Academy Andover and Lincoln High School, he served in the U.S. Army Air Corps as a pilot.

Although he kept an office at PGE until just a few years ago, he worked at PGE from 1964 until 1989, formally retiring as vice president and assistant to the chairman. During his professional career, Lueddie served on many boards, including the Portland Rose Festival; William Temple House; Providence St. Vincent Medical Foundation; United Way; Junior Achievement; Oregon Coast Aquarium; Oregon Garden; Portland Zoo; the Japanese Garden; OMSI and River View Cemetery.

In 2008, the Association of Fundraising Professionals honored him with the Thomas Lamb Elliot Award for Service to Philanthropy.

Lueddie had been an active member of Trinity Episcopal Cathedral, Waverley Country Club, and Multnomah Athletic Club. He

also enjoyed spending time on the Oregon Coast at the Cavalier in Gleneden Beach. His quick wit, sense of humor and charm will be missed by all.

He was preceded in death by his first wife, Gertrude; and his sister, Jane. Lueddie is survived by his wife, Janet Larson Lueddemann; three stepchildren, and their spouses; five grandchildren; two great-grandchildren; nephews; nieces; godchildren; and many friends.

Melvin “Pete” Mark Jr. March 27, 1926-June 1, 2017 Melvin “Pete” Mark, a leader in the Portland business and philanthropic community for over 60 years, peacefully passed away on June 1, at the age of 91.

Pete was an inspirational force for all who knew him. He was a gentleman, champion, leader, father and friend. He counted himself lucky to form a business with his own father, and then watch that business grow and flourish alongside his son and son-in-law and two grandsons. He treasured his children and grandchildren, and believed that the true wealth of any person is his family.

He was the youngest of two children of Melvin and Mildred Mark. His sister, Lois, gave him the nickname “Pete,” insisting that he didn’t look like a Melvin. The name stuck, and he answered to it the rest of his life. He spent

ADMINISTRATIVE the first 13 years of his life in Philadelphia before the family moved to New York City in 1940. After graduating from Dewitt Clinton Public High School in 1944, Pete was accepted in the V-5 Naval Aviation Program. He was nearing completion of the program when World War II ended. He graduated from the University of Virginia in 1948, an experience that sparked his lifelong interest in American history. Upon graduation, Pete joined his father in the commercial real estate business in New York City.

Pete had three loves in his life: his family, community and business. The light of Pete’s life was his wife, Mary. He spotted her across a crowded room at a New York City Christmas holiday party in 1950. Three dates later, he proposed to her beside the fireplace at the famous 21 Club, and they were married on May 3, 1951. Pete and Mary enjoyed 57 years of marriage before her passing in September 2008.

His love affair with Portland began in 1948, when he traveled here to see the Loyalty Building, a real estate property purchased by his father. A brief visit turned into an extended stay. Pete would bring Mary to Portland as part of an extended honeymoon. She, too, fell in love with the city and they agreed to make Portland their home, where Pete would open an office of Melvin Mark Properties, and where he and Mary would raise their three children, Linda, Cindy and Jim. What Pete began as a one-man office would grow over the years to become the Melvin Mark Companies. Pete regarded tenants and clients as more than real estate transactions; his philosophy was to develop long-term relationships instead, treating people with honesty and respect. His word and handshake meant something. Pete’s philosophy of doing business has been instrumental in the company being named by the Portland Business Journal among the most admired real estate companies in the state.

Pete was one of this community’s most generous and visionary philanthropists. The causes and organizations Pete and Mary supported over the years are too numerous to mention, but chief among them are Pioneer Courthouse Square, where Pete served as the founding chair of the board; the Portland Art Museum, where Pete and Mary co-chaired three major fundraising campaigns; and the Oregon Historical Society, which has hosted five exhibits featuring Pete’s collection of presidential artifacts and American historical treasures.

Pete is survived by his three children, Linda Andrews and her husband Scott Andrews, Cindy Murphy and her husband, Larry Murphy, and his son, Jim Mark, and his wife, Jenny, along with his eight grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. WM

Savor the Flavors of Oregon Wine Country Afternoon trip to Dayton includes tastings with one of Oregon’s premier wineries and the state’s only olive oil maker

E

njoy the afternoon in Dayton at Durant Vineyards and Oregon Olive Mill on Thursday, July 13. These beautiful properties, together known as Red Ridge Farms, are owned by the Durant family, fifth-generation Oregonians who also are MAC members.

The afternoon includes a guided tour of the Oregon Olive Mill, followed by an exploration of the estate-milled extra virgin olive oils.

Olive oil is then paired and tasted alongside a variety of proteins,

starches, vegetables and sweets to better understand the ways in which it can elevate even the simplest of foods. Durant Vineyards estate-grown wines round out the tasting, and we examine the ways in which wine and olive oil play off of each other to further complement food pairings. Wine flights focus on single vineyards and clones comparing various vintages and estate elevations.

For more than 40 years, the Durant family has grown wine grapes on the hillside the family calls home. The family’s original vision has grown to include a specialty plant nursery, gift shop, olive grove, Oregon’s only commercial olive oil mill, wine tasting room, overnight lodging, event spaces and expansive gardens.

The family’s history in the Willamette Valley – now spanning five generations – began with English walnuts, hazelnuts, Italian prunes and cherries. In 1973, the Durant family was among the first in Oregon to attempt growing wine grapes.

The family planted olives in 2004, establishing one of the first orchards in Oregon. With the first and only commercial olive oil mill in Oregon, they handcraft signature olive oils with their own distinctive aromas and flavors.

The cost is $95 per person and includes transportation, a boxed lunch, wine tasting and olive oil tastings. The bus leaves at noon and returns around 6 p.m. There is a two-week cancellation policy for this Culture and Style event, which is for those ages 21 and older.

This time we joined them for dinner as well, spreading out through the dining hall to get acquainted.

B AC K PAC K I N G WITH KIDS

W

ho says you can’t take kids backpacking? Certainly not Debbie Bauer. The MAC member coach is an avid hiker and backpacker who regularly puts in long days over rugged terrain. But some of her most memorable trips have only covered a few miles. Bauer took some time to discuss taking kids outdoors while traveling down to hike the 40-mile Rogue River Trail with her two teenage daughters and three of their friends.

You have to have at least two nights in the woods. That first trip has to be all about fun and hanging out and getting kids away from electronics and the other things, and that can’t be done with just an overnight trip. They need to have a morning where they wake up with nothing to do, because at first they kind of struggle with the idea. It takes them a full day to get into the groove to figure out what it’s like to hang out in the wilderness.

You have to have a waterfall, or a river or some sort of fun destination. You can’t just go to a meadow. It makes a huge difference, and there are some local spots that are super easy to get to (see sidebar).

Keep the distance short, and make sure they have a pack that fits them. All they need are tennis shoes at first. When they get a little older, you want them to carry as much of the

stuff as they can, but it depends on the age.

When I had a two- and a four-year old, they had the small Camelback pack and carried their headlamps, clothing, snacks and a water bottle. At that age, as a parent, you have to be willing to carry sleeping gear for three people.

I have two daughters, and it’s a really special thing when I can take one daughter and a friend on a trip, then take another trip with my other daughter and a friend. All of their friends have learned to backpack at this point, and their parents are so appreciative because they didn’t have to go!

Before the trip, have them go to REI or the store and pick out their own backpacking food.

It’s so fun for them to do that. They’re more invested in eating it and trying new things.

Give them little things before or during a hike. Give them a headlamp as a gift. I stop and let them pick out candy. We don’t eat a lot at home, but on the trail, candy is essential! Sometimes I get something small from the Dollar Store and wrap it up and put it in their packs.

I guide MAC hikes on Wednesdays, and if anyone wants to come along and pick my brain on hiking with kids, they are welcome to do so.

–Tony Roberts

DESTINATIONS When backpacking with kids, the younger the age, the shorter the mileage, Bauer says. For first-timers, she suggests hiking in just a mile or two to set up camp.

From there, it’s possible to take day hikes and other adventures without a pack.

Salmon River – The first two miles of the trail rambles along the Salmon through classic old growth rainforest. “The Salmon River is an awesome place to go. You can go a half mile, and there is a campsite,” Bauer says. The Salmon River trail is located just south of ZigZag, within 45 minutes of Portland.

Siouxon Creek – Enjoy green pools and cascades on this gently graded hike with numerous campsites within the first few miles. Located near Amboy, Washington, this hike is within 90 minutes of Portland.

SAILING AROUND THE WORLD

H

ow long does it take to sail around the world? George and Sue Stonecliffe have mapped out a route to answer that question. This summer, they will set sail on Julia Max, their 1982 45’ Peterson Ketch. “We’ll be visiting between 12-15 countries—it could be more, depending on how many Caribbean islands we go to,” says George.

The couple began sailing in 1997, and have logged multiple long-term sailing excursions over the past few decades, including two voyages to Mexico. The inspiration for their round-the-world adventure was sparked by a sailboat trip in the South Pacific in 2008.

“We had great experiences with the people in the countries we visited, and other cruisers on a similar route,” says George. “Plus, the weather was exceptional.”

On that trip, the couple covered 7,500 miles. “We also had about 40 scuba dives,” says Sue. Since then, the two have been dreaming of another big trip. “I’ve always wanted to sail through the Panama Canal,” says Sue. “Friends have gone through and marveled about what a wonderful experience it is.”

Sue and George Stonecliffe, below, are excited to explore the San Blas Islands of Panama.

SAILING Continued from page 47 average of winds and weather, and other oceanographic information for the major oceans and seas around the world) they outlined a plan for their journey based around crossing the Panama Canal. “What drives our trip and the time we are gone will be the wind and weather conditions along the way,” says George.

“One of the things we learn as cruisers is some of the best laid plans are written in the sand at low-tide — meaning the high tide may wash the plans totally away. And then you just make new plans,” says George. “The plan we outlined is what we are hoping to do, but things can change.”

When they launch from the Columbia River this summer, the Stonecliffes’ predicted route will cover 18-20,000 miles over the course of two-and-a-half years. Both are excited to explore new places like Costa Rica, Honduras and the San Blas Islands of Panama.

“We’ve heard the locals will come up to your boat in their shells selling fresh bread and fruit, and traditional crafts as well,” says Sue. They are also eager to share experiences with family members along the way. “My sister lives near Boston and I’m looking forward to having her on board and sailing around Martha’s Vineyard together,” says George. Come winter, the couple hopes to coordinate schedules so their grandkids can visit them in the Caribbean over school holidays.

FOLLOW THE ADVENTURE The Stonecliffes plan to post photos as they travel in and out of ports around the world. You can follow their sailing adventure at www.sailblogs.com/member/ juliamax/.

The longest leg of their journey will be on the return trip when they are traveling through the Panama Canal in March of 2019.

“We’ll sail from the Canal to Hawaii and that’s a straight 4,200 miles where we’ll be out at sea,” says George. At that point, the Stonecliffes will be seasoned explorers, at the tail end of circumnavigating the globe – a dream that came to life at the start of their 2017 summer vacation.

“One of the great things about cycling in the developing world is that everyone can identify with someone on a bike, so culturally, interactions you have with people are a lot of fun,” he says.

While road and mountain biking have well-earned reputations as expensive sports, adventure biking and cycle touring doesn’t have to be, Vargas says.

ycling used to come in two distinct categories – road biking or mountain biking. Today, thanks to new technology and new attitudes, those lines are blurry. A modern cycling adventure is likely to include roads and trails on the same journey, and with the growing fat bike movement – think tires that look about the same size as your car’s spare – you may even venture onto snow and sand.

When it comes to cycling adventures, member coach Luis Vargas has seen it all.

He just returned from a multi-sport adventure in Jordan that including cycling and hiking through areas like Wadi Rum, a desert so Mars-like that they filmed The Martian there.

Last fall, he rode a fat bike across frozen fields

DESTINATIONS Here are a few of Vargas’ favorites.

DESCHUTES RIVER TRAIL – A great trip for beginners, this route starts just 90 minutes from Portland at the Deschutes River State Recreation Area. It follows a river-grade trail up the Deschutes for 19 miles, although there are plenty of options to cut this out-and-back short if you please.

There are ample campsites, although the first several miles can be a little busy during fishing season.

THE OREGON STAMPEDE – This breathtaking route starts at the same spot as the previous ride, but that’s where the similarities end. The Stampede is challenging, and at times, remote. The route is 124 miles with 60 percent gravel roads, and spends most of its time traversing quiet byways through wheat fields and farms, while the snowy peaks of Mount Hood and Mount Adams loom overhead. It is typically finished in one or two days.

I

f you want advice on paddling in Oregon, Sam Drevo is your man. The MAC member coach segued from a career as an elite kayaker – he competed on the U.S. Canoe and Kayak Team and won the prestigious Gorge Games – to a successful business career. He now owns and operates eNRG Kayaking, which runs trips out of an on-water location at the confluence of the Clackamas and Willamette rivers in Oregon City.

“Oregon has more wild and scenic rivers than any other state by a long shot,” Drevo says. “Rivers in this state are a huge resource, and it’s something for all Oregonians to enjoy.”

And there are more ways than ever to enjoy them. Rental and guide companies throughout the region make it easy to spend a day, or a week, kayaking, rafting, or taking part in everyone’s favorite new paddling activity, stand-up paddleboarding. Today, SUPs account for nearly 40 percent of rentals at eNRG. They’re easy to learn on flatwater, but offer unique challenges when the water gets rough, or the distance gets long.

“It’s more difficult than kayaking, you have to stand, you have balance, and you only have one paddle,” Drevo says.

Whatever vessel you choose, if you’re new to paddling, Drevo recommends finding

54 | The Wınged M |

some easy flatwater. Portlanders certainly have some convenient options (see below).

“Paddling, rafting, canoeing, it’s got a strong counterintuitive element to it, and it’s a technique-driven sport,” Drevo says.

“You take a stroke to the right, your boat goes left. You have to learn how to adjust and anticipate and compensate, and it’s a lot

easier to learn how to do that in a flatwater environment than in rapids or the ocean, or in windy spots like the Gorge.”

Speaking of wind, Drevo says that’s a factor that is easy for first-timers to overlook. A strong headwind can turn a pleasant paddle into a slog.

–Tony Roberts WM

DESTINATIONS Drevo offers a few spots ideal for taking the plunge into paddling.

WILLAMETTE RIVER – “Portland Kayak Company has a store on Macadam Avenue and you can paddle around Ross Island and it’s really close. If you want a little more of an adventure, you can come down our way and paddle around Willamette Falls, or paddle right up to the locks. You can’t really access them from land, but you can paddle right up to them in a boat. It is a pretty important piece of Oregon’s history.

It’s the first multi-tier lock system ever built.”

CLACKAMAS RIVER – “With the Clackamas River you’re getting into moving water, and it doesn’t dry up in the summer, like the Sandy. The section from Barton to Carver is very popular, and you need a shuttle to do that. You could go up to the lower boat ramp within McIver Park. It’s got a little bit of class II-plus. Above the dam you have the Upper Clackamas, which I’d recommend as a guided trip.”

THE COAST – “As summer progresses and all of the rivers drop, going toward the coast is really great for kayaking. Nehalem Bay, Tillamook Bay, Camp Westwind in the Salmon River Estuary...it’s mainly the bays that I’d recommend”

for relaxing, even if you don’t take part in the rides. Non-riders can spread out a blanket and enjoy lunch and two glasses of wine (included with lunch) on the 373-acre vineyard, nestled in the Dundee Hills.

The Route Three routes – 17, 38 and 60 miles – provides options for everyone. Well marked and thoughtful route planning are lead by MAC member coaches. The 60-mile route passes dozens of wineries and farms as it meanders south from Dayton, bypassing busy roads and rolling through tiny farming towns like Eola Village, Ballston and Perrydale. The 38-mile route uses many of the same roads but does

not travel as far south. The 17-mile route heads north of Stoller, traveling along the outskirts of Carlton on quiet country roads.

The short route includes some rolling hills, but no steep climbs. It’s a great option for the rider new to cycling.

The Food Portland-based Spin Catering has been “road tested” – it is regarded as the region’s best for serving up local, fresh and organic food at events. Spin provides a catered lunch and rest stop food.

The Wine Ride menu has been crafted with the hungry cyclists in mind. Enjoy hotoff-the-grill BBQ chicken, smoked salmon, salad choices and homemade biscuits from Portland’s Lauretta Jean’s. You’ve earned it – pile on the whip cream and fresh berries.

Candlighters Nonprofit Proceeds from the event directly support Candlelighters, a Northwest nonprofit organization that has supported families and their children fighting cancer for 40 years. During the event, Stoller has also agreed to donate 20 percent from each glass, bottle and case of wine sold to benefit Candlelighters.

he North American Association of Club Athletic Directors (NACAD) is an affiliation of 30 athletic clubs across the United States and Canada. Each year, one affiliate club hosts the NACAD national championship basketball tournament.

Multnomah Athletic Club hosted the tournament last year as a key event in the celebration of its 125th anniversary. This year, the Spokane (Washington) Athletic Club basketball tournament was held in April. Fans watched 38 teams from 10 NACAD athletic clubs compete across seven divisions. MAC was well represented with six teams vying for championships over the weekend. With victories in four divisions, the result was the most successful NACAD basketball tournament MAC has ever recorded.

After a brief absence, MAC’s A team regained its place atop the podium with a dominant performance throughout the weekend.

Paced by high-volume and high-efficiency perimeter shooting, the A team was rarely challenged and cruised to victory in the largest division of the tournament.

MAC Masters team (age 45 and older) also returned to the winner’s circle, edging out six other clubs to claim the division championship.

Masters Head Coach Dave Immel was called away for a family emergency just minutes before the first game got underway. However, he had prepared the team so thoroughly, they fought through adversity for the championship win against MAC rival Olympic Club.

MAC’s Platinum Masters team (age 60 and older) rounded out the weekend with a fourth-division championship for MAC. Like their younger counterparts, the Platinum Masters are emerging as a division powerhouse, securing their third NACAD championship in as many years.

MAC also fielded teams in the AA and women’s open division.

MAC’s women’s team competed in the ultra-competitive open division. Formed only two seasons ago, the women continued on their amazing upward trajectory with a strong showing in Spokane.

While they did not win the division, they did come away with a pivotal victory over rival Washington Athletic Club. MAC basketball is looking for more women members interested in competing for the club. Please contact MAC Court Sports at 503-517-7582 if you are interested. WM

Making Sense of Good vs. Bad Fats P erhaps no dietary component creates as much confusion as fat.

Not all fatty acids deserve a bad reputation – some are essential for our survival.

Other fats are not only non-essential, they are destructive. These include trans fats, which can lead to an increased risk of mortality from heart disease and diabetes.

During the late ’70s and early ’80s, there was the fat-free diet trend. During this time, heart disease was on the rise and researchers noticed a connection with LDL levels and heart disease.

LDL, or the “bad” cholesterol, contributes to the buildup of plaque, which hardens and narrows artery walls. LDL levels can increase from the consumption of saturated fats (meats, butter, cream and milk), trans fats (found in processed foods such as crackers), and high blood-sugar foods (candy, soda, sauces, etc).

Unintended consequences of that fat-free diet trend included an increase in obesity and diabetes. Proponents of fat-free diets encouraged carbohydrates instead of eggs, meat and cheese. Although they meant whole grains, veggies and fruit, many Americans started eating more rice, starches and grains such as bread and crackers.

The food industry followed the fat-free trend, offering fat-free carbs – think low-fat muffins, fat-free cookies, fat-free yogurt, etc.

However, when food producers took out the fat, they added sugar to make items palatable.

Ever have a sugar-free, vegan cookie? (They aren’t most people’s favorite). It’s true our body needs carbohydrates for energy, but added sugar is not needed for survival.

So going fat-free ended up increasing our consumption of sugar, which increased our waistlines, led to diabetes and increased our risk of heart disease. So what should we concentrate on eating to help keep our ticker ticking? Eat whole foods; avoid foods that come in a box. Eat foods high in fiber such as vegetables, fruit and legumes. And eat foods rich in essential fatty acids such as fish, sea vegetables, flaxseed and grass-fed meat. Remember, not all fats are bad, some are essential and they are used for insulation, production of hormones, energy production and vitamin absorption.

Running Down a Dream After 45 Years L

ongtime MAC member Shawn Fitzgerald has been running for nearly a decade now, and in those nine years has conquered 26 (likely to be 27 at publication) marathons, including three consecutive Boston shows in 2015, 2016 and 2017. Fitzgerald shared his inspiring story of being a latent runner with a big dream, and how he’s achieved so much and perseveres while keeping his body healthy and motivation intact for race days yet to come.

Kelly Schmidt: When did you decide – and what led to the decision – to tackle marathon training?

Shawn Fitzgerald: I had always thought it was amazing that anyone would run a marathon, as it sounded so far. I was always in awe of those who did marathons. In 2008, I was about to turn 45, and had

I learned a series of exercises, stretches and foam rolling over the years from physical therapists that I practice on a regular basis now to help keep my core strong. been thinking about attempting to run a marathon. And honestly, I was never a runner, so I’m not sure what I was thinking at the time.

I grew up playing basketball my entire life, including playing in the fall MAC house league for many years. When I was 37 I had to quit playing, as my knees had taken so much abuse over the years.

Fast-forward to 2008, my knees were pretty beat up, but despite that, I decided to go to my local high school track and run two miles – eight laps around a track. Sounded reasonable in my head, though I was quickly humbled by how out of shape I was.

However, I didn’t die that day, and eventually worked my way up to three miles. A few weeks later I was speaking with a friend and mentioned that I was running and my big dream of running a marathon. Little did I know that the person I was speaking with had run the Portland Marathon the previous fall. I called that first year the year of ice and Advil.

KS: Do you add in any complementary routines to keep your body from breaking down, like yoga or stretching?

SF: Over the years I have had various injuries that have sidelined me off and on. I learned a series of exercises, stretches and foam rolling over the years from physical therapists that I practice on a regular basis now to help keep my core strong. When I deviate from this, the injuries tend to surface. It’s the body’s way of keeping things in check.

KS: Any advice for up-and-coming distance runners?

SF: As was told to me early on in running, the biggest distance of a marathon is the 8 inches between your ears. Your body will give you so much more than you ever imagined, but you must convince yourself it will. Anyone can run a marathon. You just have to be willing to take the first step and never give up. The running community is so supportive, that once you start, there are plenty of people willing to help you finish. There are several running groups in our area and several running shoe stores that can provide much information. (Several have MAC ties and provide excellent support in selecting a shoe to suit specific needs.)

Shawn Fitzgerald running his third Boston Marathon.

KS: When was your first 26.2? Can you share any personal records or results to light the “running fire” for our would-be athletes?

SF: My first marathon was the Portland Marathon 2008. My PR for a marathon is 3:14.04 (7:24/mile), which I did in June 2016.

My Boston 2017 time was 4:12.42 (live to run another day).

KS: Any Boston reflections to inspire others?

SF: This year was my third Boston Marathon in a row, and every race is different. That is the thing about marathons: You can prepare for months, and on that given day, your body might not cooperate, or the weather may not be what you hope for. So 2017 for me was tough because the temperatures got up into the 70s and, obviously, we don’t get those temperatures through the winter and spring when we’re training. The heat this year had over 2,600 runners at medical tents during the race, and 52 runners were taken to area hospitals. For me, at Mile 16 I knew this wasn’t my day, and rather than risk injury, I backed off and made it a goal just to get to the finish line in one piece, which I did.

Fitzgerald is a member of the Tri/Run Committee, a husband, father of three daughters and an avid Oregon State fan, spending as many days each fall watching Beavers football as possible (of note, that is running season). WM

SWIMMING

Honoring Swimmers After a Season of Accomplishments M

AC’s swim team recently celebrated accomplishments of its members for 2016-2017 long course and short courses seasons. Parents, swimmers and coaches gathered in the Main Ballroom for the event, which was largest in attendance in recent years. 144 members attended the event. MAC President Robert Radler attended and addressed the group.

Highlights of the evening included honoring graduating seniors: Eleanora Kemp will be attending Oregon State University, Kate Westlake is Pepperdine bound, John Kennedy Jr. – Gonzaga, Laurel Kemp – UCLA, Nicholas Niehaus – Santa Clara University, Nathan Nguyen – West point Military Academy. As a well-established tradition, the evening included slide shows of each swimmer from their birth to graduation, featuring their favorite song.

MAC swimmers were honored – The Flying M’s ( Up and coming 12-and-under swimmers) – Sydney Wilson and Matthias Kreutzer. Sydney set several MAC records, and Matthias had an epic performance at State Championships, breaking six MAC records and earning two national ranking swims.

The 2017 recipient of the Ray Conlon Award for the most outstanding 14-and-under swimmers went to Cody Soo for his stellar performance at State and Age Group Sectionals. The Ray Merry Inspirational Award went to Khalifha Kalahiki for his great leadership and positive influence on the team. The Greg Menton Performance award was presented to Brynne O’Shea, who set an Open Oregon record in the 200-yard backstroke, and the Most Outsanding swimmer award went to Van Mathias, for his performance at Summer Junior Nationals that ranked him No. 1 in the U.S.A. in the 100-meter butterfly.

Congratulations, swimmers! WM

SWIMMING – MASTERS MAC Masters started their championship meet season with the annual Oregon Association Championship in Bend. Names of four pictured below won first overall in the medium team division.

Spring Brings State Title, National Champions F

or swimmers, spring is the best time of year. It’s the season of championships, when the fastest competitors come out of the woodwork. When taper means shorter practices and finessed race plans. When pre-meet jitters hit and pre-race pump up routines energize the pool deck.

For masters swimmers, it’s a time of year that jolts you back to childhood – the chlorinated skin, the rivalries, the sugar rush of fruit snacks, the anticipation of finding out what you’re capable of.

These are spring’s nostalgic reminders that some things never change when you’re a swimmer for life.

In April, MAC Masters started their championship meet season with the annual Oregon Association Championship in Bend. This is the only meet of the year where each club in the state competes against another in a dual meet, collegiate format. And for the sixth consecutive year, MAC’s team came away with first overall in the medium team division, scoring 539 points to fend off the runner-up Oregon City Tankers’ 373 points.

Despite the slight increase in altitude, the squad of 14 swimmers experienced a variety of firsts. Olympian Margaret Toppel competed in her first meet as a Winged M, winning all but one of her events. Kurt Grote, an Olympian and breaststroke world champion who won several events in Bend, commented on another kind of first. “This is the most fun I’ve had at a swim meet since I can remember.” Meanwhile, Jill Marie Asch and Jessica Stacy placed first in all six of their individual swims, and the remaining 10 swimmers ranked in the top three in at least one of their races: Jordan Porter, Brent Washburne, Scot Sullivan, Eric Wan, Ted

JULY 2017

Bonus, Hailey Bambusch, Catherine Eastman, Alix Danielson, Jordan Ped and Daemon Anastas.

On the heels of their regional title, several swimmers flew to Riverside, California, to test themselves against the best in the country. The 2017 USMS National Short Course Yard Championships did not disappoint, featuring Olympic gold medalists (and rock stars of the swimming world) Nathan Adrian and Ryan Lochte among the talented pool of 2,000-plus competitors.

Despite the dense field, MAC masters swimmers found their own spotlight. Asch won not one, but two, national championships, in the highly contested 50- and 100-yard freestyle events – an achievement surpassing even her own expectations. Stacy also surprised herself by winning the 200-yard butterfly – a notoriously grueling event she hadn’t swam since she was 12 years old.

Washburne continued his quest for personal bests by clocking one in each of his events throughout the four-day competition.

Bambusch scored third-place finishes in the 50- and 200-yard freestyles – no small feat for the post-collegiate 25- to 29-yearold age group. And the meet became a family affair when George Dingledein raced against his older brother, Doug, for the first time in decades. A showdown proving their love of swimming (and friendly smack talk) will live on for years to come.

Washburne also served as the official coach for Team Oregon, a responsibility not many are granted, let alone are capable of pulling off. But thanks to his endless positivity and relay-organizing abilities – along with the camaraderie of teammates from cities all over the state – MAC swimmers returned to the club with more than sunburned shoulders. Rather, they brought back a refreshed passion for the sport.

Now, the team is training for the long-course meters and openwater season. This summer, whether it’s in pools, rivers, lakes or oceans, you can be sure to find these lifelong swimmers wherever there’s water.

ATHLETICS EARLY BIRDS

Start the Day with Ice Cream and Roses Come with us to savor the ice cream and smell the roses. Make it a point to get to the Early Birds Ice Cream Social on Friday, July 14, in the Washington Park Rose Garden.

All early exercisers are invited to arrive for summer fun at the Information kiosk near the garden entrance any time between 5:45 and 6:45 a.m.

There you will find special culinary treats and delectable ice cream selections for tasting. Spies have told us there may be special offerings from Tillamook ice cream, but you might be surprised to find another top-shelf choice instead. Fancy party costumes will not be necessary – come as you are. Just always remember, as U.S. Olympian marathoner Don Kardong said, “Without ice cream there would be darkness and chaos.”

Spend some time wandering around the internationally known rose garden, which was established in 1917. At that time, roses were sent from Europse to Portland to prevent their destruction in World War I. Rose propagation was excellent here leading to the formation of the Portland Rose Society in 1888. Promoting Portland as the City of Roses for the 1905 Lewis & Clark Exposition, miles of street-side rose bushes were planted.

Return, when you have time, to take the selfguided tour of the garden using an informative guide found on the rose garden’s website.

The second exchange with a local club took place in mid-April as MAC players hosted a strong team from the Sunset AC. Their club motto is “We Can Split With Anybody.” But they didn’t split, winning five of eight singles and doubles matches. Several of the matches were close enough that a split could have been had, but a few lucky cracks here and there made the difference. MAC players will travel to the Lloyd AC and the Sunset AC in the near future to complete the exchanges. On that note, the Olympic Club from San Francisco will send 16 players here May 19-20 for another chapter in that 43-year-old rivalry. Look for the results in the next Winged M issue.

Nearly two dozen MAC handball enthusiasts played in the Pacific Northwest Regional Tournament held at the Sunset AC in early May. Steve Grow earned two titles, winning the 65 singles and doubles, with Dave Delaney as his partner. Mike Steele played with a friend from Salem to win the

SQUASH

A Smashing Season for Juniors MAC juniors wrapped up the squash season with a great finish. Alec Spiro moved from being ranked No. 107 in the country for Under 15 to No. 29, earning him the U.S. Squash Most Improved Player designation for his division for 2017 and qualifying him to train at the U.S. Squash Academy this summer at Trinity College in Connecticut.

Six MAC kids traveled to Seattle in May for a Gold tournament, where they were

coached by MAC head pro Ashley Read, and showed fantastic results. They included: Gordon Lam (third in BU17), Alec Spiro (first in BU15), Anushka Gupta, Cam Schnebly (third in BU11) and first-time Gold participants Adrian Schulman and Kaz Malhotra.

MAC Grand Prix, a monthly in-house tournament, also has been a great success this season, with a total of 29 players participating, thanks to Read and member coach Andy Barnett.

The regular season might be over, but there’s plenty happening for juniors this summer. MAC has recreational squash camps from June 19-July 13. There is a high-performance junior camp July 31- Aug. 3, a junior Silver Tournament Aug. 4-6, and an exchange with the Cincinnati Country Club July 20-22.

WALKING AND HIKING

A Journey to the Hills of England

In May, an intrepid group of 20 MAC hikers traveled to the Lake District of England, perhaps one of the most beautiful places on earth, to enjoy what the English call a “walking holiday.” We stayed at Monk Coniston, formerly a monastery and later part of the 4000-acre estate owned by Beatrix Potter, now a part of the National Trust domain, located at the north end of Coniston Water.

Walking and Hiking members traveled to the Lake District in England in May where they took daily hikes lead by experienced guides.

Our holiday was hosted by HF Holidays, which operates many similar properties, mostly in the UK but in other countries as well. Each day, we were given a choice of an easy, medium or hard hike, each led by an experienced, essentially

volunteer, guide. The easy walks were generally 5-6 miles, mostly through the valleys in the area, taking in villages, pastures and the intense greenery of the region. The medium walks were a bit longer with more

elevation gain and the hard ones longer and tougher still.

Pictures really don’t capture the beauty of the Lake District. The hills – western Americans just can’t realistically call them mountains – present real hiking challenges that can include use of hands climbing and descending, but the view from the ridges is spectacular. In addition, walking is such a part of the culture in the UK that walking paths are a given – everywhere – on ridges, through pastures, towns, over hill and dale.

Two interesting side notes. Since there aren’t many fountains in the woods, folks pound copper (only) coins into fallen trees for luck.

Also, since most walks include crossing pastures containing sheep, gates are a necessity. The common type there – which I’d never seen elsewhere – is called a “kissing gate,” which will only allow one person through at a time.

We enjoyed terrific weather, outstanding guides and staff at Monk Coniston, a week of hiking, making new friends and enjoying old ones and incomparable English hospitality and scenery.

Closing Thoughts Chris Nielsen and her husband Tom moved to Portland when they retired in 2007. It was part of a plan to take advantage of the cultural, physical and social life of the city. The couple moved just in time for a MAC Lottery, and their number was drawn. “I read about Tom Hallman’s writing class in The Winged M. In a meaningful coincidence, the same day I ran across the following quote from Kurt Vonnegut in an article I was reading at the dentist’s office: ‘Practice any art, music, singing, dancing, acting, drawing, painting, sculpting, poetry, fiction, essays, reportage, no matter how well or badly, not to get money and fame, but to experience becoming, to find out what’s inside you, to make your soul grow,’” Nielsen recalls. “Words and language have always been a joy to me. It is just great to have a fine teacher and interesting classmates who share that.”

My Rolodex is Broken

M

y Rolodex broke a few days ago. When I moved it, the knob that turns the spindle fell off.

You can picture what I’m talking about – a desktop card index used to record names, addresses and telephone numbers. I bought this Rolodex when I was setting up my first office. Its presence on my desk made my business feel official. The first entries were handwritten, or business cards taped in place.

The Rolodex tells my story – or at least a piece of it. It’s funny how objects can do that – reflect who we are, what we like, who we know, the shape of our life. Maybe it’s just a glimpse like in a photograph, or maybe a lifetime like the old family Bible. Maybe it’s a scrapbook, or the bulletin board where especially cute babies on old Christmas cards still grind. Maybe it’s the posters adorning bedroom walls, or the backpack that has traveled around the world.

My Rolodex has information about colleagues and work associates, family and friends.

Some cards are well thumbed. Chris Smith, my computer guru.

I called him a lot. Some reflect time passing. The history on the Lawson family card shows three addresses, each crossed out as the new one is entered. There’s Margie and Hal Jackson’s card, with Hal’s name crossed off. He had a midlife crisis that ended the marriage. The Rolodex falls open to Jim Olson’s card – we rented his apartment in Washington, D.C., in 2004.

When Apple introduced Contacts, their electronic address book, it became easy to maintain all those names, addresses, phone numbers and emails on my computer. Landlines are forsaken for cell numbers alone. That’s an easy delete. Email addresses need updating. No problem. A new spouse is added or an old one goes away. Choose Edit, and with a few keystrokes the entry is up to date again. Every entry is kept pristine.

In Contacts I have groups – my stock club, my cousins, my doctors. If I need the name of the forgotten podiatrist I saw five years

ago, I can find it in “doctors.” In my trusty Rolodex, that would have taken thumbing through cards.

And even better, with Contacts, not only is the information available on my computer, but it’s synced with my phone and my tablet. All are up to date with one quick action.

It is an efficient, virtual index system of the people in my life; so efficient that I stopped updating the Rolodex. Once a living story, my Rolodex for years has been frozen in time. It’s a desktop artifact from another era.

Yet for days now, working at my desk, I look at the Rolodex.

And still it sits – neither fixed nor thrown away.

What does this ambivalence say?

One Christmas, I made a new address book for my mother.

I copied all current entries and all current information, using the same color ink throughout. With the new address book she wouldn’t have to hunt through maiden names, former locations, deceased spouses, entries that began with “S” but were on the “U” page because there was no room left on “S.” My mother, ever gracious and appreciative, welcomed the new address book and said appropriately kind comments about its neatness. But she never used it, as far as I could tell. There was something important to her in her old address book. It spoke of the people she knew and the changes in her life and in theirs.

Like my mother’s new address book, Contacts is neat and tidy, no pencil here, blue ink there. But like her old address book, my Rolodex, even out of date, provides a history. My handwritten notes are proof that permanency is not the norm. The cards, visible on the spindle, provide a real, tangible reminder of the people in my life.

I haven’t parted with this Rolodex, or my mother’s old address book. Though neither functions in my day-to-day life, each still tells my story.

Chris Nielsen is a student in MAC’s Tell-Your-Story writing class, taught by member Tom Hallman, Jr., a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author of two books. This class is designed for students who want to write and develop skills in a supportive environment. Writers are encouraged to not feel intimidated if they have never written. Participants write, and in doing so discover the power and magic of a story; the story that everyone undoubtedly has. The class is not only fun, but one that quickly becomes, as several students have said, the most meaningful two hours of the week. WM
