e should all be proud – MAC surpassed its 125th anniversary goal and broke an all-time record for the number of pints donated at our May blood drive! Over two days, 144 donors gave 134 pints of blood. Wellness Janice Marquis Coordinator Keri PRESIDENT Donovan made the drive a competition among MAC committees. Twenty- five committees participated. The winning committee was Property, donating 32 pints. Twelve volunteers stepped up to register those donating over the two-day drive. Every year you probably see a familiar face at the registration table. Yes, you guessed it, Bud Lewis. In honor of his dedication to the drive year after year, we declared next year’s event the Bud Lewis MAC Blood Drive.
Planning for a distant future In April, the Board of Trustees gathered for its annual retreat. Trustees and participating senior leaders of the club spent a day and a half envisioning the club as it might be in the year 2036. Although this may sound next to impossible, we considered the event to have been productive, resulting in some breakthrough thinking as well as increased team camaraderie. On day one, we focused on imagining the future needs and wants of key member groups by demographic. We also considered the social, environmental and market trends that could impact future members and potential members, such as a desire to create communities near home, increasing traffic, and competition from more specialized and/or less expensive local fitness clubs. Brainstorming in small groups, we confirmed MAC’s multigenerational and core athletic focus, but agreed on the necessity of creating more balance in program offerings – moving from “everything to everybody” to “many things for many members.” Additionally, there was consensus that we need not grow membership, but instead should increase member satisfaction and diversity, and lower barriers to membership for younger demographic groups. We also explored ways to increase the flexibility of the club’s physical use of space with the goal of potentially offering boutique athletic programs as well as social, educational and lifestyle programs. The group concluded that with more flexible use of current capacity, additional space might not be a top priority. Instead, we agreed to focus on a more disciplined process to prioritize
projects and programs, with the support of a “scorecard” to help determine which projects or programs are “core,” which are “no more,” and which to “explore.” A number of items also were identified to shift toward a culture of more transparency, making the Board’s process more evident to members and committees.
20s/30s draws a crowd I recently dropped by the monthly meeting of the 20s/30s Committee – and what a treat! Twenty-six energetic young adults were sitting around a table sharing great ideas, and not only offering to get involved, but actually volunteering to take on responsibilities for a whole host of events. The committee hosted an event in the Climbing Gym at the end of December that drew 70 people. In January, they sponsored a successful clothing drive. In mid-May they coordinated a Willamette Valley wine tasting event, a joint venture with the Washington Athletic Club, where again, over 70 people participated. These are just a select few of the events they continue to plan. It was a real joy to observe their very productive meeting.
A special month In the month of May, I participated in a number of great events at the club. The annual Scholar Athlete Banquet, in its 46th year, honored 28 sophomores from Portland metropolitan high schools. Each student is awarded a courtesy membership at the club for the duration of his or her high school career and a $1,500 scholarship, awarded by the Multnomah Athletic Foundation. This program is an excellent example of how MAC and MAF work together. Also awarded that evening was the Joe Loprinzi Scholarship. Since 2001, MAF has awarded Loprinzi scholarship funds in excess of $293,500 to 66 graduating seniors selected from 28 high schools in the area. This year, the foundation awarded $29,000 to three graduating high school seniors. Also in May, I was a guest at the annual Al Tauscher Awards Ceremony. The event has honored more than 100 teen and junior members of MAC since 1995. The award emphasizes participation, rather than excellence, in a singular event. Candidates must be inspirational to others, participate in extracurricular activities, devote time to their communities, and demonstrate leadership and the ability to be a valued team player while maintaining a 3.0 grade point average. Welcomed by the MAC Member Events Committee, eight juniors and teens were recognized. It is amazing to conclude that these recipients appear to have 36 hours in the day, while those of us honoring them only have 24! WM JULY 2016

I
’ve made my career in leading nonprofits – which means I’ve spent my career in awe of, inspired by, heavily dependent on, and endlessly grateful Josie Henderson to volunteers. MEMBER SERVICES DIRECTOR The 26 Founders were many things – they were amateur athletes, visionaries, young, idealistic, passionate, fun loving – they also were all volunteers. MAC has a long tradition of volunteerism that forms the very basis of our community. From the start, volunteers have led and participated in every aspect of the club, and they still do to this day. MAC has roughly 46 committees with 600-plus members participating on them, 12 trustees, 900 members in MACorps (the club’s volunteer group), 22 MAF directors, and countless others who give their time and energy to the club. These volunteers come from every professional sphere in the area – business leaders, health experts, homemakers, accountants, artists, lawyers, Olympians and more, and the club is invaluably enriched by their experience and expertise. From athletics to social activities to membership, property and house, volunteers guide MAC decisions, programs and activities throughout the club. Here’s a snapshot of a fraction of the things that volunteers do: approve new members, the budget, capital and strategic plans; help with tournaments and competitions; write the Club Rules and discipline members; plan parties and social activities; manage the club’s archives and art collections; help with fundraisers and MAF events, write articles for The Winged M; decorate the club for the holidays; and pull ivy from the MAC trail. They do these things because they believe in the club, and they want to make it a better place, and are willing and able to live that conviction. You may not agree with them on every issue, activity or program, but please remember that their intentions are good. Their motivation is to create a better club, yes, for themselves and their families, but also for you and your family. To an overwhelming degree, MAC volunteers are very respectful of their roles at the club. The majority of them are responsible and diligent about fulfilling their duties. Sometimes these volunteer members are faced
with difficult decisions, and they work hard to come to thoughtful, considered and fair outcomes. If a decision is made that you don’t agree with, please remember this. Also, please keep in mind that many decisions are made with a great deal of information of which you aren’t aware. Things are rarely as simple as they appear. Some information they use to make decisions is not appropriate to share, and you may not have the whole story. It’s human nature to jump to conclusions and make assumptions, but it’s rarely helpful or accurate. I have seen volunteer members spend dozens of hours carefully and intelligently making a difficult decision, only to have that decision disrespectfully challenged by someone who knows only a small fraction of one side of the issue. Of course, every member has the right, and the obligation, to think about and question decisions that are made here – it’s your club after all – but please keep your questioning appropriate, respectful and thoughtful. To a large degree, MAC is defined by its volunteers. Think how different we would be if the 26 Founders had started the club as a for-profit business or if it were now operated that way. It’s not just that MAC’s volunteers help the club and make everyone else’s experience better, it’s that they invest themselves in MAC, and MAC reflects that investment. The fabric of the club is made of the many threads that our volunteers, past and present, have woven together for us.
Speaking of great volunteers One of our standout volunteers, Bud Lewis, has been very active in helping out with blood drives at MAC. In recognition of this service, the board approved naming all future MAC-sponsored blood drives in Lewis’s honor. The next time you are in the club, I encourage you to say thank you to some of our member volunteers. It’s a sentiment they don’t hear often enough, and you can easily change that. I know they will very much appreciate being very much appreciated. If you aren’t currently volunteering with MAC, please consider doing so. It’s a rewarding way to get to know your fellow members, connect to the club, and build personal and professional skills. Visit https:// themac.com/group/pages/get-involved to learn more about MACorps, or if you are interested in committee service, attend the Committee Open House in the fall. To the many, many, many MAC volunteers in my life – thank you! Every day I am in awe of, inspired by, heavily dependent on, and endlessly grateful to you. WM JULY 2016

ADMINISTRATIVE SPORTS SHORTS
L
ast month, the world lost one of its greatest athletes and a leader of social change with the passing of Muhammad Ali. Whether you liked his boisterous rhymes and creative rope-a-dope approach to boxing or not, his innovation Ed Stoner ATHLETIC DIRECTOR drew attention. His passion, training and talent backed up his boasts. Together they helped him change the world. Ali provided many memorable quotes, including, “The man who views the world at 50 the same as he did at 20 has wasted 30 years of his life.” Glad to know I haven’t wasted the past 30 years. How about you? And these don’t just apply individually, they can apply to an organization and society as well. MAC has evolved over its 125 years, and should continue to do so, not wasting its position of influence and ability to mold the health and well-being of many. A poster that featured Ali’s quote “impossible is nothing” used to be displayed in the Main E&C Room. It got worn and removed, but there was more to the quote that I believe made it so relevant in the E&C; a place where people often struggle to achieve a personal goal. The full quote is “Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they’ve been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It’s an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It’s a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.” It challenges us to be our best, and to know that just because we can’t do it today doesn’t mean we can’t or won’t tomorrow. Because, “He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.” Too often we are boisterous, but don’t want to enter the fray. Other times we win the battle, but lose the war by not taking advantage of the platform and opportunity presented. I encourage you to take a moment this month to think about what you can do to change the world, knowing that “if [your] mind can conceive it, if [your] heart can believe it – [You] can achieve it.” I look forward to seeing you around the club this month, and remember, “Impossible is nothing.” WM

Kevin Gaboury recently joined the MAC Communications Department as communications coordinator. Kevin was born and raised in the Round-Up city, Pendleton, and worked at small-town newspapers in Oregon and Idaho before joining MAC. He is a proud Duck, and received his bachelor’s degree in journalism from the University of Oregon and his master’s in communications from the U of O Portland campus last spring. He enjoys running on Portland’s amazing trail system and is training for the Cascade Lakes Relay in Central Oregon at the end of the month. He also loves exploring the beautiful Pacific Northwest on hikes or backpacking trips and bouldering at the Circuit Gym.
For the second consecutive year, MAC climber Sonja Johanson put in a stellar performance at Canadian Speed Climbing National Championships and qualified for the International Federation of Sport Climbing Youth World Championships. Johanson finished second in Canadian Nationals, and also notched impressive finishes in two other major tournaments, winning the BC Speed Competition in the Canadian National Series in March, and finishing second at Kraken in Vancouver, Washington in April. Johanson was the first MAC climber to qualify for any worldlevel competition last year, when she competed at world speed championships in Arco, Italy. Johanson is a junior at St. Mary’s Academy.
Cameron Edwards just finished a distinguished athletic career at the University of Rochester in New York. Edwards qualified all four years for the NCAA Division III Track and Field Championships in the 400-meter hurdles, and graduated with four school records in outdoor track – the 100-meter hurdles, 400-meter hurdles, and as a member of the school’s record-setting 4x100 and 4x400-meter relay teams. Edwards also set indoor track school records in the 60-meter hurdles, and as a member of the 4x200 and 4x400meter relay teams. In May, she was named Most Valuable Athlete at the New York State Small College Track Conference Meet after winning the 100-meter and 400-meter hurdles and running on the winning 4x100 relay.
Austin Parr was the overall winner in the men’s division of the MAC Decathlon for the third consecutive year. With a score of 9,101, he was the only participant to score over 9,000 points. Parr is a University of Oregon graduate and works for an environmental company. He is in the Oregon National Guard, and recently completed the Army Air Assault School. The highlight of the decathlon for Parr, who competes in the 25-29 age group, was setting an age group record in the vertical leap. He also had the top score in five events. Parr also finished third in the running for the Paul Copley Award, given each year to the participant who scores the most points in the track and field events. JULY 2016
Katie Leonard, a first time MAC Decathlon participant, won the women’s division, with a score of 8,908. Leonard is a lifelong MAC member and graduate of Southern Methodist University who works in marketing at Nike. After leading Lincoln High School to its first-ever appearance in the state finals in high school, she was a walk-on in soccer at SMU, eventually earning a starting spot, scholarship and starting position. She became one of the anchors of the SMU defense. Leonard, who competes in the 25-29 age group, finished first in six events. Her favorite events were the 40-yard shuttle and 400-meter run. Leonard also won the Rookie of the Year Award from the Decathlon Committee during the group’s annual banquet in June.

Patrón Single Barrel Añejo Tequila Hand Selected for MAC I recently traveled to Guadalajara, Mexico. While there I fell in love, nearly got kidnapped, learned about and drank my fair share of tequila, and bought a pair of snakeskin boots. This article is only about one of those experiences. Many of our members may be aware of the Brown Bottle Society’s single-barrel program. We have personally selected five whiskies from some of the country’s best distilleries. This summer, I wanted to do something different. I shifted my single-barrel search south and found a potential partnership with Patrón’s distillery. They would fly me to Mexico with the local Southern Wine & Spirits team to personally select a barrel and go through some tequila training. “Muchas gracias,” was my quick response. I dusted off my Spanish dictionary and off to Guadalajara I went, with tequila on my mind. We arrived at the Riu Plaza in the heart of Guadalajara, the capital and largest city of the Mexican state, Jalisco. After a quick dip in the pool, we were off to an amazing dinner downtown, where we enjoyed authentic Mexican cuisine. We headed to bed early that night as Patrón was on the agenda at sunrise.

JULY 2016
After a two-hour drive into the country, we arrived at the grand walls of the Hacienda Patrón, where the entire tequila-making process takes place. This breathtaking establishment welcomed us and our hosts began the day with a little history. Patrón was founded by billionaire businessman and philanthropist John Paul DeJoria in 1989, with an initial production of 12,000 bottles. After early success and an aggressive marketing campaign,
Patrón Party on the Sun Deck Bottles of MAC’s Patrón Single Barrel Añejo tequila are available in all three restaurants at MAC beginning in July. In addition, 10th Avenue Liquor Store is selling bottles exclusively to MAC members while supplies last. Please bring proof of membership. MAC hosts a Patrón Party at the Sunset Bistro from 6-8 p.m. Thursday, July 21. Members can sample Patron products, including MAC’s Single Barrel Añejo, and discuss the tequila-making process. Chef Philippe Boulot creates Mexicaninspired appetizers to sample. This event is free to members.
CULINARY Labor Law Impacts Food and Beverage
Patrón quickly found itself locked in the ultra-premium tequila market, where today it produces 2.4 million bottles. The story of tequila begins deep in the heart of Jalico, where skilled jimadors work steadily to uproot only the finest Weber Blue Agave and strip away the leaves with a sharp tool called a coa. This reveals the heart of the plant, the piña. Only the best piñas are selected, and then chopped and baked in large brick ovens. Softened considerably, they go on to be crushed by a two-ton volcanic stone tahona wheel and a roller mill to release their sweet juices. The resulting mixture is fermented for three days, distilled and then placed in a variety of handmade barrels to age. This final stage of the process was the main purpose of my visit. Patrón ages their tequila in five different barrel types, then blends the final expression together to create a consistent product. I had the pleasure of tasting tequila from the five barrel types, all with different aged statements. While they were unique in their own right, I selected an añejo aged in a hybrid barrel of American and French oak. This complex tequila has the bright sweetness of the agave with subtle caramel notes from the toasted barrel. This tequila is perfect for sipping or mixing in any cocktail. With the barrel selection process complete, our focus turned to the bottling facility. The Patrón bottle always caught my eye, but I never realized that every single bottle is hand-blown. While Patrón could purchase machines to create these bottles, they have kept 21 skilled glass artisans employed. This team hand measures and molds the bottles, using mostly recycled glass, making each bottle a unique piece of art. With the tour and training finished, we headed to lunch, where we met master distiller Francisco Alcaraz, widely considered the godfather of tequila, who created the recipe for Patrón. This great honor was followed by Cuban cigars and Gran Patrón Burdeos, a luxury añejo tequila finished in Bordeaux wine barrels. Driving away from the hacienda that night as the sun was setting behind the red volcanic hills, I couldn’t help but smile as I had completed my mission to get a barrel of tequila for MAC, and learned much during the process. My trip to Mexico was one I will always remember and gave me many unique experiences. A special thank you to Patrón and the Southern Wine & Spirits team for making this trip a reality. I look forward to sharing this tequila with the membership and expanding the knowledge of my team. Esperamos verlos pronto, Salud! -Colby Hayden WM
Oregon’s minimum wage will increase by 22 percent over the course of the next two years, and 59 percent over the next five years. This will impact the club as a whole, with a large effect on the Food and Beverage Department’s overall budget. This rise in labor expense was not anticipated in the 2016 budget nor was there any legislation drafted when our budget was approved. Across the West Coast and the country, businesses are looking at the impact of rising labor costs and the disparity in pay between “frontof-house” workers receiving gratuity and “back-of-house” workers who do not. Oregon is one of only seven states that does not have a tip credit. A tip credit, as defined by the Department of Labor, permits an employer to take a credit toward its minimum wage obligation for tipped employees equal to the difference between the required cash wage and the federal minimum wage. Under federal law, and in most states, employers may pay tipped employees less than the minimum wage, provided employees receive sufficient tips to make up the difference. If an employee does not earn enough in tips during a shift to bring the total compensation up to or above the applicable minimum wage, the employer pays the difference.
As the club searches for ways to mitigate increased labor expenses in the Food and Beverage Department, we have looked at different strategies being implemented across the country. Changes in the way restaurants compensate staff are being rolled out and will be modified as the economics of the industry develops. Some locations are raising menu prices, others are adding labor surcharges and others are adding technology and reducing staff interaction. We value our employees and want to maintain the excellent rapport between members and staff. In September, MAC will institute a 3 percent labor surcharge on all checks in the Men’s Bar, MACtinis, Sports Pub and catering services. Members may still tip staff as they wish and we encourage them to do so. Trying to balance the needs of the members in an equitable manner, which is also fiscally responsible, is a goal we try to achieve. Club staff works hard to live up to the expectations and service levels the membership deserves. Retaining excellent employees is a top priority for the club. The labor surcharge will help lessen the impact of the increase in wages over the next few years. –Cameron McMurry WM
POPCORN 101 – a few simple rules For many members, popcorn is a Sports Pub favorite. However, for some, it can be a mess that creates an embarrassing impression while enjoying a meal or bringing a guest. By following some practical guidelines, the popcorn experience can be positive for all. • Please assist our younger members with filling their bowls and getting them safely to the table. • Please do not fill bowls to the point of overflowing – everyone is welcome to return for more. • To assist with upkeep and cleanliness of the club, popcorn is never allowed outside of the Sports Pub (including Timbers/ Thorns matches). • The quick “snatch and grab” using bare hands in the popcorn machine is never good karma, and it is not sanitary or appreciated by your fellow members. The newly renovated Sports Pub has a nice, fresh look. Staff are renewing their commitment to maintaining the cleanliness of the Sports Pub. By adhering to a few courtesies we can all make it a positive experience for the entire membership. WM

MULTNOMAH ATHLETIC FOUNDATION
High-Five for 25 Years of Helping Youth Multnomah Athletic Foundation is working to raise more money to support the region’s youth during its 25th anniversary year.
H
ave you ever tried to greet someone with a high-five, only to be left with your hand hanging in the air with no reply? For adults and youth alike, it’s a socially awkward moment we would rather avoid. Missing a high-five for the underserved youth in our community, however, can mean their future opportunities hang in the balance. The generous support of MAC members during the annual Multnomah Athletic Foundation fund drive ensures that hundreds of underserved youth in our community receive a high-five – that added boost of support and encouragement – thanks to a number of programs that foster athletic participation. In the past 25 years, the foundation has donated over $470,000 in grants to nonprofit youth athletic programs across the tricounty area. This year, in celebration of the foundation’s 25th anniversary, the MAC Board of Trustees has approved a $10 increase to the annual member contribution, which means your $25 donation (members may opt out) will allow us to impact even more programs and students in our neighborhoods. For example, Living Yoga brings the practice of yoga to youth in correctional facilities, drug treatment centers, and behavioral and mental health facilities. Knott Street Boxing provides boxing lessons and competition for over 50 youth in Northeast Portland. Additional organizations like Northwest Wheelchair Tennis, Mobility Impaired Golf Association, Northwest Association for Blind Athletes, Friends of Baseball, Girls on the Run and Happy Trail Riding Center, have all received an extra high-five thanks to your contribution to the foundation. These groups are all positively impacting youth in our community.

“Your generosity helps us empower those with the greatest need. You have given hope, a glimpse into the future that can shine,” said Kelly Anderson, Development Director of Outside In. The foundation’s financial contribution toward coaching and supplies provides homeless youth the opportunity to play organized soccer. Outside In believes street soccer skills create accessible bridges between the game of soccer and the game of life. Along with community grants, the foundation funds college scholarships. Over the past 15 years, the Joe Loprinzi Scholarship has provided over $290,000 to 66 graduating seniors selected from 28 schools in our community. The Fay Sasser Scholarship helps fund MAC employees’ or their children’s college education. Many MAC members have honored family and friends through contributions to the Foundation. These meaningful dollars contribute to the strength of our outreach. The Multnomah Athletic Foundation is successful in its community outreach because of the generosity of the MAC membership and staff who believe in our mission. The foundation believes athletics teaches life skills and builds character to carry youth into the future, and to prosper in our community. Athletics teaches us to compete, to give our all, to persevere, and to be graceful in victory and defeat. High-five to you for being part of this effort.
2016 Loprinzi Scholarship recipients 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 MAC. He inspired those around him with his enthusiasm for fitness and dedicated 60 years to improving the lives of others.
ADMINISTRATIVE This year, with the ongoing support of club members, Multnomah Athletic Foundation awards $29,000 to three graduating high school seniors and one past program recipient. All three of the honorees would make Loprinzi smile. They are excellent students taking top-level classes and receiving outstanding grades. They participate in varsity sports, serving as leaders on their teams and remarkable role models. They are involved in our communities as volunteers and social catalysts. Quite simply, they bring out the best in others. All three of these individuals are the first in their families to attend college. Corinne Togiai is a senior from Tualatin High School who is using her $9,000 scholarship to attend the Clark Honors College at the University of Oregon. Her favorite high school subjects are anatomy and physiology, and theory of knowledge. She competed in 6A high school soccer for four years. In 2014, she was the MODA Championship MVP, and the 2016 OSAA All-State Oregon Player of the Year. Togiai also has attended Olympic Development Program national camps, and returns to the community to teach young players what she’s learned from the camps. She is a two-year intern involved in cancer research at the OHSU Knight Cancer Institute under Dr. Brian Druker and Dr. Bill Chang. Chase Howard is a senior from Wilson High School who will use his $9,000 scholarship while attending Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska. His favorite high school subject is chemistry. He ran cross country for four years, along with track and wrestling. He was varsity captain for all three sports in his senior year. Howard played a leadership role in his high school Key Club, dedicating hundreds of hours through service projects in the community. He was a Wilson High School MAC Scholar Athlete. Michelle Escobar Machorro is a senior from Jesuit High School who is attending Portland State University with her $8,000 scholarship. Her favorite high school subject is anatomy. She competed in high school soccer for four years, and through a soccer tournament, successfully raised funds to support a soccer field in Nicaragua. Machorro is bilingual, speaking Spanish and English. She uses her language skills in her community as a translator for Compassionate Clinics and the Legado Latino Club. With continued support through a $3,000 scholarship, Larry Brister, a Jefferson High School graduate, will start his second year at Portland State University. These individuals exemplify dedication to academics, athletics and being an active part of their communities. Congratulations! WM JULY 2016

125th Anniversary Events in July Through July 5: Perfectly Fit – MAC’s 125th anniversary exhibit at Oregon Historical Society. Thursday, July 14: 125 years at MAC. This special dinner with MAC archivist George Vogt features a historic photo show. Registration is required and space is limited. MACREACH VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY – The Property Committee works with Habitat for Humanity in a Habitat build. Members must be age 16 or older. There are two dates to choose from: Saturday, July 23 at Glisan Gardens from 8:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m. and Saturday, July 30 at Helensview. To register, visit http://vhub.at/mac. For more information on MAC 125th Anniversary events, go to theMAC.com or check out the digital sign on the main floor of the clubhouse.
MAC Volunteer Heroes by Kirsten Leonard, MACREACH Busy MAC teen Ellen Moore could finally meet me at 6 p.m., after her job and before she went home to dinner and began her homework. A senior at the Arts & Communications Magnet Academy in Beaverton, Moore is excited to begin her college career at the Western Oregon Honors Program, where she will study education – as if she is not already a teacher. Moore is a five-year ZooTeen volunteer: a rare breed. Beginning as an 8th grader, she found the older teens and staff welcoming and ready to show her the ropes. Though some might squirm at preparing meals of fish guts or squid heart, Moore gravitated to the Marine Life section, where she has interned for the zookeepers. Along with feeding and caring for animals, she
serves as a naturalist, bringing small animals to camps for age-appropriate Critter Chats. Moore learned new skills and again reinforced her desire to teach when she spent a summer working with special needs kids enjoying zoo camp. Another highlight was her work with Roots & Shoots: a Jane Goodall program intended to show students how to improve the world. Moore and her cohorts taught at Montclair Elementary, designing lesson plans and themed games. Glowing, Moore recounted that Dr. Goodall’s organization learned about this great work and asked her group to present their project and to meet Jane herself!

The rule is stated below with the change in bold font. “Couples on a family membership must separate their account no later than three months after the date on the final divorce decree. A copy of the section of the divorce decree indicating the effective date must be provided to the club to complete the transfer. Failure to comply may result in referral to the House Committee for investigation. A

10 percent fee will be assessed for outstanding back dues, except in the case where one party’s membership becomes inactive and the same party has no record of club usage during the delinquent period. If both parties are agreeable, the couple may separate their membership account prior to the final decree of divorce as outlined in membership policies in effect at the time.”
MEMBERSHIP
New Member Application Requirements MAC recently revised and updated its membership application requirements. New member applications now require one proposer and one reference (now called a seconder). Both the proposer and seconder must know the applicant for a minimum of three years. These application requirements are consistent with industry standards and were made by the Membership Committee to improve both the member and applicant experience. All other application requirements, including completing a comprehensive criminal background check, remain the same.

VOLUNTEER
Help Build a House This Summer In celebration of MAC’s 125th anniversary the Property Committee has partnered with Habitat for Humanity to offer two fun and exciting opportunities to give back to the community. Members have the chance to participate in a Habitat build, swinging a hammer, painting or any of the hundreds of tasks it takes to build a house. Best of all, you don’t need any special skills or experience to participate, just the desire to put in a few hours of manual labor with your friends. Habitat has reserved 20 spots for MAC members on Saturday, July 23, at the Glisan Gardens build site, and 20 spots on Saturday, July 30, at their Helensview build site. All volunteers must be 16 or older. Volunteers under 18 must be accompanied by an adult who is at least 21. All youth must have a waiver form completed and signed by a parent or guardian prior to volunteering on site.

HISTORIC COLUMBIA RIVER HIGHWAY Ride, hike and discover the region’s most spectacular road as it turns 100.
GOING THE DISTANCE
The best way to take in the historic highway is on a bike
T
he majority of travelers who pass through the Columbia River Gorge in Oregon do so on Interstate 84. They don’t know what they’re missing. Before trucks shipping freight and cars hauling campers sped through the ancient river gorge at 70 mph, travelers took a winding, hilly route that remains largely intact today – the Historic Columbia River Gorge Highway. In September, MAC offers a special Listen and Learn presentation that marks the 100th anniversary of the highway’s construction. That gives you 2.5 months to get out and see it before learning how it was built. With apologies to Crater Lake’s Rim Drive, the highway is the most spectacular drive in the state, with abundant hikes, waterfalls and viewpoints punctuated by towns that offer respite for the hungry – not to mention thirsty – traveler. But if you have the time, the best way to travel the highway is by bike. Several miles of the old path near Cascade Locks are closed to traffic, and the road’s winding nature keep auto speeds low. Hearty cyclists combine the HCRGH with State Route 14 in Washington for a century ride, but there are plenty of great day trips. Park at Lewis and Clark State Park near the mouth of the Sandy River and ride up to Vista House for one of the best roadside views of the Gorge. If you’re feeling spry, drop down the highway into the Gorge, passing a number of spectacular roadside cascades before your turnaround point – Multnomah Falls. The 35-mile out-and-back is challenging, but with multiple stops for eating, drinking and gawking at the views, it’s a must-ride for any Oregon cyclist. If you’re looking for a day trip with a shorter ride, head to Hood River. You can pick up a carless portion of the HCRGH east of town and travel through the Mosier Tunnels, which were blasted into the rock high above the river a century ago, and restored in the late ’90s. Stop for a quick resupply in Mosier’s cozy downtown before a gentle climb through orchards up to the Rowena Crest Viewpoint.
TAKE A HIKE
Get tips on the Gorge’s best trails with Laura Foster Experience Gorge Towns to Trails now with the help of Laura O. Foster’s new book Columbia Gorge Getaways: 12 Weekend Adventures, from Towns to Trails. Foster presents trips from the book during a presentation at MAC from 7-9 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 21.
DISCOVER! Join the Oregon Historical Society for a glass-lantern slide show celebrating the 100-year anniversary of the building of the HCRG from 6:30-8 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 13 at MAC. The presentation will be shown using original hand-colored lantern slides from the John Yeon Slide Collection at the Oregon Historical Society and projected using a 1940 Bausch & Lomb projector. OHS presenters will take a closer look at one of the greatest roadway projects of modern times. The presentation is $5 for members and $7 for non-member guest.

Roosevelt saw the West as the best hope for progress in America during the early 1900s. He felt that wilderness is necessary for individualism, nationalism and democracy to thrive. Listen to Roosevelt (aka impersonator Richard Cassidy) discuss the development of his conservation philosophy during a Listen and Learn presentation from 6:30-8 p.m. Monday, Aug. 22. The culmination of his philosophy resulted in the “I so declare” creation of 234 million acres of national forests, federal bird preserves, national parks, national game preserves and national monuments. Cassidy has been presenting and costuming as Teddy Roosevelt for more than five years at U.S. Forest Service and Oregon State Parks events. ME355
CITY STROLLS Historic walking tours explore the region’s wonder Walking and Hiking Member Coach Eric Wheeler leads members on walking tours through three of the area’s historic districts in July. These easy urban walks offer unique oppurtunities to learn more about the area’s unique history, and last about two hours. Walks are 2 to 3 miles. Kenton • 7 p.m., Tuesday, July 5 Located just south of the Columbia River in North Portland, Kenton was a remote farming community until the streetcar and the
Oregon City meat-packing industry transformed this rural hamlet into a classic early 20th century company town. For decades, Kenton was the Pacific Northwest headquarters of the Swift Meat Packing company, with an enormous
stockyard and adjacent packing plants. The residential and commercial buildings still reflect the stratification of a working class neighborhood. Meet in front of the Paul Bunyan Statue at the intersection of North Denver and North Interstate avenues. Oregon City • 7 p.m. Tuesday, July 12 Situated at the base of Willamette Falls, Oregon City is the historic birthplace of the Oregon Territory. In the 1840s, this community was the end of the Oregon Trail and the commercial center of the upper Willamette Valley. On this walk through the historic district of upper Oregon City, we see many of the sites that defined this pioneer town into the early 20th century. We'll also enjoy a panoramic view of the river below and the former industrial site poised to be re-purposed into a mixed-use riverside commercial and residential development. Meet in front of the historic McLoughlin House at 713 Center Street in Oregon City. Lair Hill • 9 a.m. Thursday, July 21 Lair Hill in South Portland has an excellent concentration of late Victorian vernacular residential architecture, along with well-preserved examples of historically significant early 20th century public buildings. This was a high density, compact neighborhood of Jewish, Italian and other ethnic working-class residents for the first half of the 20th century, with buildings that reflect the social fabric of a vital, cohesive neighborhood. As the Lower East Side was to New York, Lair Hill was to Portland. Meet at MAC at 9 a.m. to walk to the heart of Old South Portland, or meet us at the Lair Hill Bistro, located at 2823 SW 1st Ave at 9:30 a.m. JULY 2016

Underground Portland
A SINISTER STROLL THROUGH PDX Enjoy an excursion into Portland’s scandalous past
B
are witness as guides expose the sins of Portland’s past on the Underground Portland Walking Tour, a sinister stroll through Old Town and Chinatown at 7 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 25. The tour shows off the remains of the physical underground as well as explores the underground subcultures, political underground and immoral underground of the city’s sordid history. It also exposes the myths behind the so-called Shanghai Tunnels. This walk is a treat for lovers of all things sinister – crime, scandal and controversial characters – a no-holds-barred excursion into the worst Portland has to offer. After walking the streets for about 45 minutes, guides hand out flashlights and delve into the subterranean levels under the historic Merchant Hotel in an area that once led to the legendary Shanghai Tunnels. If you want to discover the true, inside stories behind ‘crimping’ – the real name of what is now called Shanghai-ing – you’ve come to the right place. While the Shanghai Tunnels make it on TV, guides surprise you with an unscripted commentary of all of the other screwed up and scandalous things that have happened in Portland’s social and physical underground. You will explore other underground and hidden topics besides kidnapping. While everyone loves journeying into the bowels of the city, we also delve into dozens of other somber monuments from our shameful past of sex, ethnic crimes, gambling, corruption and more. This tour is rated PG-13, since some of the content is not for the faint of heart. Members meet the guide inside the old Merchant Hotel building at 131 NW 2nd Ave (near NW Davis St) in Old Town/Chinatown. The tour is under two hours and is about 1 mile with no hills and limited stairs. This tour is for ages 18 and older. The cost is $24. Tickets are limited. Register online at theMAC.com. ME662
THE COOLEST SPOT IN THE CLUB
If the mercury rises a bit too high, visit MAC’s Climbing Gym Inevitably, there will be a few days this summer when the temperature makes it downright unpleasant to be outside. But you can still be active. MAC’s Climbing Gym stays cool when it’s hot out. Members can go through a short orientation to begin using the bouldering wall, or use the club’s belay service for $10 an hour on the sport wall. Rentals are also available.

TAKE YOUR TRAINING OUTDOORS Start your workout at MAC, then take it outside
H
aving a great workout space is great for the nine months a year when it’s raining in Oregon. But to take advantage of those sunny summer months, Personal Trainer Will Cath likes to take his classes and clients outside. Cath’s Max’d Out Class at 9 a.m. Monday, Wednesday and Friday starts in Studio Two, but mid-way through, heads outside to take advantage of the natural environment – mainly, MAC’s hilly surroundings. Whether you travel often, work from home, stay around the house with the kids, or prefer to be outside, you can be active and enjoy a thorough workout. Weights and fitness centers can be an intimidating place, but with simple body weight movements, mindful functional movements and using your environment, a thorough workout is possible outside,” Cath says. “Lunges on stairs, push-ups and dips on park benches, inverted rows on bike racks, even various core exercises on swings and teeter totters are a great way to get your workout in while keeping an eye on your little ones.” Performed correctly, calisthenics in the outdoors will help you achieve a balance of strength, endurance and flexibility. Prepare yourself with water and healthy snacks to set yourself up for success and you don’t cut your workout short. Looking for more information on outdoor training sessions? Contact Will Cath at wcath@ themac.com

YOGA
Yoga Helps Cyclists Go the Distance With MAC’s 125 Ride and other events approaching, Cycle Oregon’s resident yoga instructor offers tips to stay comfortable on longer rides.
W
hile on a long ride, a little yoga can go a long way. Just ask Jennifer Holzapfel-Hanson, a MAC yoga instructor and the lead yoga instructor on Cycle Oregon, where she leads classes after doing the ride each day. She says a few basic poses can help with comfort on long rides. “A lot of cyclists don’t want to take the time to stretch,” she says. “But I promise, it’s worth it! And if you are doing multiday rides, it will save you.” Hanson knows that many cyclists prefer the pigeon pose, but notes that “it can be strenuous on the knees if the hips are very tight, and it may be uncomfortable for those who are new to yoga.” As a gentler alternative, here are three essential movements that can help balance a cyclist’s body at any point preride, during rest stops or post-event: • Neck-rolls: Gently roll your head in a circle to loosen up your neck and shoulders. • Garland pose: Turn your toes out and squat as low as you can to open up your hips. Keep your knees pointed over your toes. Hold, or move in and out of the pose slowly. • Upward reach: Lift arms toward the sky, and without pushing the pelvis forward, lift your chest toward the sky for a gentle backbend in the upper back.
Preride warmup Most cyclists want to get on the bike and go. But taking a few minutes to warm up with some yoga stretches can make the ride
44 | The Wınged M |
JULY 2016
more comfortable by helping to prepare your muscles and prevent injury. Focus on your spine and bigger leg muscles. • Loosen up your spine up with cat/cow. Get onto your hands and knees in “table-top” pose. Round the whole back like an angry cat while exhaling and look at your belly button; while inhaling, look up at the ceiling and arch your lower back, repeat. • Be a ragdoll. Open up your hamstrings with a standing forward fold. Bend your knees slightly and let yourself hang forward. Take opposite elbows and sway side to side like an elephant moves its trunk … heavy, but gentle. • Open up your quadriceps with baby dancer pose. Stand up tall, against a wall if you need support. Bend one knee and take hold of the ankle behind you. Keep your knees next to each other. If you cannot reach your ankle, or if your hamstring cramps, just repeat bending and straightening the leg.
During the ride Now is about the time when your neck and shoulders may start to feel tense and your legs and hips may need a little release. “Sometimes just making any kind of dynamic movement helps,” Hanson says. “It doesn’t have to be a yoga pose, it should just be mindful.” Here are some yoga options. • Legs up: Lay on your back and extend your legs up to the sky. It will help the tension and extra fluid out of your legs. Circle your ankles around, move your toes.
• Sphinx: Lay on your stomach, propped up on your elbows with your hands straight out in front of you. Lift your chest and look slowly right and left. • Warrior 3 (with a wall): If you can’t get onto the ground you can use a wall to help stretch your spine and legs. Extend your arms straight out in front of you and place them on a wall, shoulder width distance apart. Back away from the wall as far as you can, and let your head drop down between your arms. Reach one leg straight back behind you, lifted off the ground in line with your torso. Move that ankle around, bend and straighten your knee.
Post-ride Focus on moving the spine back into a neutral position and releasing the neck and shoulders. “You have been bent over the handlebars for an extended period of time, so backbends will help serve as a ‘countermovement,” Hanson explains. • Backbends: There are many options, including upward reach and sphinx, or even full dancer, taking one ankle behind you and moving your knee straight back in space. • Spinal twist: Stand with your arms by your sides, rotate gently side to side, letting the arms sway. Alternatively, you can lie on the ground, hug one knee into the chest and bring it over to the opposite side of your body, then look away from your knee. • Corpse pose: Relax and rest with the spine straight and the legs and arms comfortable. –Jennifer Holzapfel-Hanson WM

PILATES
Learn From a Master of Pilates Four of MAC’s Pilates instructors teach a class together in July
T
he definition of a “master” is a skilled practitioner of a particular art or activity. “I’m a master of disguise,” or “having or showing very great skill or proficiency, as in, ‘I am a master painter.’” The term “master” in the Pilates world is a bit elusive, in both practitioners and teachers alike. I’ve often asked myself, “who decides?” The answer is completely subjective. There are a few criteria that help to delineate the differences – experience, education and commitment to staying on top of the science and everchanging landscape that is the fitness world, while also holding true to the original work Joseph Pilates created. I think both of the above definitions apply to a few of our instructors here at MAC. The three most tenured teachers in the Pilates program are Sandy McQueen, Babs Dalbey and Gina Frabotta. Jean Leavenworth is somewhat new to MAC, however, her decades of experience in the industry and years of training others to teach Pilates certainly qualify her with that distinction.
The Masters Sandy McQueen was instrumental in establishing a strong Pilates program at MAC in the mid-90s. Prior to that she was a dancer, a student of tai chi for 10 years and a certified massage therapist. While at MAC, she has broadened her training and now teaches CoreAlign and the MELT Method, in addition to Pilates. She believes these modalities complement one another and provide her personal training clients and class students a unique blend of skills designed to enhance their own body awareness. She is a
46 | The Wınged M |
JULY 2016
passionate learner, observer and explorer who delights in those moments when the mind and body connect. Babs Dalbey began her fitness career 32 years ago in weight training and group exercise classes. She added Pilates to her repertoire, obtaining full certification from Core Dynamics, and a master’s certification from The Pilates Center in Boulder, Colorado. She brings a unique perspective to her teaching in that she comes to it from a more traditional fitness angle. If you’ve attended a Mat Pilates class with Dalbey, you have experienced Classical Pilates at its best. Gina Frabotta has been teaching for 12-plus years at MAC. Frabotta’s clients appreciate her attention to detail, her creativity and calm demeanor. She provides a challenging workout that is designed to work your muscles, balance your effort, and build strength and confidence. Her regular clients can attest to the fact that Frabotta has a special knack for working them hard, while also providing the peace and focus needed for a mind, body connection. She is trained in yoga and CoreAlign, rounding out what she brings to the MAC membership. Jean Leavenworth is our newest MAC Pilates/MELT instructor. Although she is newer to MAC, she is not new to Pilates. Leavenworth is a teacher trainer for STOTT as well as MELT certified. She also has completed the level 1 Foundations for CoreAlign. If you have had the pleasure of taking the Monday evening MELT class taught by Leavenworth and McQueen, you already know the benefits this class offers. Leavenworth has a wonderful mild manner, gives clear and concise directions, and is a wealth of knowledge in biomechanical movement. Look for these talented women to join forces this July for a first-ever summer with the masters series! WM

BLOOD DRIVE
A Banner Year for the Blood Drive MAC’s May blood drive was one for the record books, as 144 donors gave blood over the course of the two-day drive. The total amount donated was 134 pints, which smashed MAC’s all-time record for a twoday blood drive and surpassed the goal of 125 pints to coincide with the club’s 125th anniversary. Among the 25 committees who had members donate, no committee gave more units than the Property Committee, who donated 32 units. In addition, 12 different volunteers worked over the two days helping both MAC and Red Cross staff. The goal would not have been reached without the help of these volunteers and the members and MAC employees who gave blood. Even though the drive only lasted two days, the amount of blood donated helps 402 different people.

Dance Crew Showcases New Styles The new MAC Dance Crew includes hip hop, tap and breakdance. We have gone to one competition this season, in which the hip hop dance “Hallyu Style,” choreographed by our amazing teacher Jenny Windom, won an Ultimate Gold award. We meet every Saturday for an hour and a half for rehearsal and occasionally on Fridays. Every minute of rehearsals is packed and we get a couple breaks, but other than that we are constantly
dancing and there is never a moment where we are just waiting around. We train, as well as learn new combinations and routines, which helps us become better, well-rounded dancers with strength and agility. The MAC Dance Crew really helps showcase some newer forms of dance at the MAC such as hip hop and breakdance. It is a way for the dancers who don’t practice the more classical styles to experience competitions and dancing in a professional setting. Being able to travel away from MAC to various competitions is very helpful in building experience and knowing what to expect when we go to other competitions because, for some of us, being in Crew has been the first chance to compete for MAC. Dancing with the MAC Dance Crew this year has been an amazing experience for me, and since I began taking dance lessons at MAC in the Spring of 2015, I’ve had a really positive experience and made new friends. MAC Dance Company and Crew auditions take place on Saturday, Aug. 6 from 11 a.m.-3:30 p.m. Visit www.themac.com or call the Dance Office at ext. 544 for more information. –Maya Holman, MAC Crew member, age 13

Pro-Am Tournaments Offer Variety Earlier this year, several MAC Golf members had the opportunity to join member coach and PGA Professional Robyn Lorain in two Oregon Chapter PGA Pro-Am competitions. Through these competitions, members had the opportunity to play at Waverley Country Club and Willamette Valley Country Club. Pro-Ams are casual yet competitive tournaments that provide a great opportunity to play a variety of courses, meet other members, and enjoy friendship and camaraderie on the golf course. A current GHIN Handicap Index is required to participate. Watch for two additional Pro-Ams this fall at Illahe Hills Country Club and Tualatin Country Club.

Brothers Matt and Sean Steele overcame early adversity to pull out a win in the consolation final, and Matt teamed up with his wife to win the Mixed Doubles, repeating their previous winning ways. Twenty-one MAC players entered the big national event hosted by MAC in honor of the 125th anniversary celebration. More than 160 players from around the country and the world played in either age group divisions or the pro qualifier. From all accounts, the guests were very pleased with the tournament, and MAC members put up a good showing as well. Three MAC players led the charge in the pro qualifier and all registered a good showing in spite of eventual losses: Aaron Garner won a match but had to withdraw later with back spasms, while Stephen Stenberg and Sean Steele showed great potential and allaround skills in their first efforts at the pro level. David Steinberg defeated Hall of Fame member Vern Roberts for the Super Master title, riding his ace serves to the lefty to the title.

With 50 or more national and world titles to his credit, Ed Grossenbacher came up three points short in the tiebreaker of the final match of the Veteran Diamond class. Bob Gill put up a spirited effort in the Platinum division, losing to the eventual second-place finisher. In sum, the 21 MAC players in the tournament showed enough grit, tremendous skills, and outstanding sportsmanship to compile a good number of wins in this prestigious event. Tournament Director Mike Steele expressed his thanks and appreciation for all the support from sponsors and donors, as well as the great volunteer work of MAC members and MAC staff. The Pacific Northwest Regionals are next up on the calendar and plenty of MAC members will be playing there in preparation for the Four-Wall Nationals to be held in the metro area of Minneapolis in mid-June.

ATHLETICS Less expensive than personal training, it has the added benefit of being an activity parents can participate in with their children. It’s an amazing release of tension and anger as well as a form of self defense. MAC’s Karate program starts gradually, with two months of half-hour classes to learn basic moves, such as punches, kicks and blocks. For anyone who has attended an aerobics class and felt like two left feet kept getting in the way, this orientation provides a gradual acclimation. The classes are small, which allows for one on one attention from Sensei (teacher and Black Belt) Bill. Sensei Bill has devoted his life to karate and teaching and he brings his passion and knowledge to class. It is contagious. After learning the basics, students enter into the beginner/intermediate class. Sensei slowly amps up the workout. He calls out combinations of punches, blocks and kicks. These are performed while standing in place or moving forward and backward on the mats, and effectively raise the heart rate and work up a sweat. Belt color identifies tested achievement levels as the student progresses. The tests are anxiety-inducing, as each student is critically observed by a panel of attentive black belts. Sometimes individuals fail the test, but this merely exercises a different muscle – that of not giving up while experiencing difficulty. Sensei Bill evaluates students beforehand and knows whether or not they are ready to test. The goal is not humiliation, rather the tension and anxiety incent more home practice and harder work. The white belt novice, with effort, moves to orange then blue and onward. Each new belt is a fun and exciting reward for kids, teens, moms and dads. Along with the regular training and testing, there is the aspect of discipline. Students are taught to be respectful of their teacher by bowing and verbally responding to his or her instructions. Late students bow and request to be allowed to join the class. Every class begins and ends with a ceremonious moment of respect and dedication. Five tenets are recited – be humble and polite, be loyal to your chosen practice, strive to reach your limits, be patient and not discouraged, work to develop a healthy mind and body. These ideas carry over into all aspects of life. Hundreds of years of wisdom have gone into the development of these methods of training. Before weights, stationary bicycles and rowing machines, these were the techniques used to train elite forces and keep them in peak condition. Karate is truly a well-rounded workout that helps students in all walks of life.

1730 SW Taylor St Portland OR 97205 Just around the corner
The MerryMacs held their annual water volleyball tournament in May 2016 with two teams, The Killer Whales and Creased Lightening, facing off. Dinda Mills captained The Killer Wahles, and was joined by Karen Hook, Victoria Murphy and JoAnne Dennis. Members of the second team, Creased Lightning included captain Astrid Pieretti, Casey Milne, Celine Stroinski and the MerryMacs newest member, Neta Sharp. Initially, it looked as if the Killer Whales had victory within their scraggly teeth, winning the first game handily. Creased Lightning took over in a flash and won the following two games with no problem. Friday’s three games were a true disaster for the Killer Whales. Creased Lightning won all three games easily and showed no mercy. One of the Creased Lightning players wore a lucky wig, which clearly gave them the edge. Next year, everyone will don wigs. The pictures will be interesting. The MerryMacs were lucky to once again have Kevin McNamara as the tournament’s referee. McNamara kindly took time out of his busy schedule to keep score for the games. Thank you Kevin! In addition to playing every Monday at 10:30 a.m., the MerryMacs also play at noon on Fridays with the infamous Polar Bears. A special thank you to the Polar Bears who came to cheer us on and help with the scoreboard. Come on down any Monday or Friday to the West Pool and give it a try.

SKI
MAC Program Lands on the Podium MAC’s ski program was recently recognized as a podium-level club by the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association (USSA). The podium-level certification process involves a rigorous self-study and peer review of best principles and practices for ski and snowboard clubs. The process gives MAC access to additional resources with USSA. “It was clear through this process that the Multnomah Athletic Club alpine program has all the elements in place to be a podiumlevel USSA club. Backed by the tradition and resources of the entire organization, led by a talented staff, and with plans moving forward for as much access to on-snow time as possible, this club will be one to watch as it continues to evolve,” said Brian C. Krill, director of sport education at USSA. “There is really no limit to the success this club can achieve.” Look for more information on the certification process and what it means for the program as the ski season approaches.

Katherine Burns not only placed first in the 1,500 freestyle in her age group, but drove to the meet the following morning on last-minute notice to vie for more points, the ultimate example of a team player. George Dingledein and Jessica Stacy went fingertipto-fingertip in the same heat of the 50-meter breaststroke, and shared in some competitive banter while waiting to see the final results of who beat whom (Stacy would end up setting an Oregon state record, but came tenths of a second shy of beating him). Hailey Bambusch would also set three state records, along with Scot Sullivan who set one of his own in the 1,500-meter freestyle. All in all, the team’s favorite meet of the year concluded with many more best times and fun relay memories, marking the end of a successful spring season full of notable recordbreaking performances. Brent Washburne swam in his final meet in the 50-54 age group, collecting an outstanding 31 MAC records in the category. Jill Marie Asch, one of Oregon’s top three Outstanding Swimmers of the Year, would set six more state and zone records in her new 50-54 age group.

Keep Bugs Away Naturally with Eucalyptus I love everything about summer! Hiking the local trails, paddleboarding on the river, grilling on the deck, swimming in a lake, or picnicking at an outdoor concert are some of the activities that I look forward to each summer. Unfortunately, I have always been a magnet for mosquitos! I used to cover myself in mosquito repellent, until one day, when I was six months pregnant and about to go river rafting, I noticed the repellent’s fine print: not recommended if pregnant. I thought bug sprays were harmful to bugs, not humans! DEET is a well-known and a very effective protection against mosquitos who carry Malaria, Zika or West Nile virus. However, for those of us who live in Oregon, where the risk is low, there are bug spray alternatives (which are approved by the CDC as insect repellents) that are generally considered safe and effective. Like always, talk to your doctor, read labels, and only apply as directed. A 2014 study found that a 40 percent DEET repellent provided 100 percent protection against mosquitos for seven hours, and a 32 percent Eucalyptus oil provided 95 percent protection for three hours. You may have to apply eucalyptus oil more often, but there is no denying this essential oil applied appropriately Continued on page 58

Volleyball continued from on page 57 is extremely safe, plus it may have other positive attributes. There are numerous studies being conducted to determine the extent of antifungal, antimicrobial and antiviral activity in eucalyptus. In addition, it has been used for years in adjunct treatments of upper respiratory ailments, colds, pain relief and swelling reduction. Finally, Eucalyptus oil is being studied, along with a mixture of other volatile oils, such as clover and thyme, as a treatment against the MRSA basteria. Citronella oil is an effective insect repellent that is widely used in outdoor candles. Although I have found that in order to be effective, you may need multiple candles. Check the labels to see the recommended area coverage. I have also seen the citronella wristbands, which I haven’t found as effective as a diluted spray. Greek catnip and thyme oil have also been scientifically shown to be effective mosquito repellents. In fact, one study found a mixture of eucalyptus, rosemary, lavender and thyme oils to be more effective than DEET in repelling house mosquitos. Essential oils are used in aromatherapy for enhancing one’s wellbeing. So using a mixture of lavender, eucalyptus, rosemary and thyme oils might not only keep the bugs away, but you may find yourself more relaxed and feeling good as well. –Lindsey Nelson, MAC Naturopath

125 Staying on the Cutting Edge of Athletic Excellence
I
n the past 25 years, Multnomah Athletic Club leaders have focused on the cutting edge in areas that matter to members, finding the balance between honoring the past and facing the future. Some are obvious: wireless connections throughout the building, more family-based programs, and a restaurant whose chef put MAC on the map with menus that mirror the city’s reputation for demanding both fine and experimental dining. Less obvious, perhaps, is the focus on the athletic side of the club. Decades ago, the idea of training with a sport-specific expert was something only the best athletes would consider. And to improve frequently meant looking outside MAC for the best in the business. That’s no longer the case. Pick a sport – from table tennis to golf to personal training – and the club offers coaches and advisers that can make an average player good, and a good player potentially great. “We partner with big names and leaders in the industry,” said Ed Stoner, the club’s athletic director. “It shows we’re serious about athletics and getting highly specialized talent for the members.” Stoner and his team, working with committees and other club leaders, stay abreast of what’s going on in the athletic world, professional and amateur, to make sure members of all ages look to the club as the natural place to focus on sport training. Neil Lomax, retired NFL quarterback and Portland State University standout, runs an annual football camp for juniors. His MAC roots are deep. While in college, Lomax worked at the club as a junior desk attendant; he is known by many members as “one of ours.” Steve Johnson, the Oregon State University basketball star who later played in the NBA, also is a club coach and mentor. Most mornings he is at the club, just one of the guys working out to stay in shape. “These coaches and advisers provide value for members,” Stoner said. “They provide
62 | The Wınged M |
JULY 2016
support and elevate our athletic reputation around the country. Remember, we’re a club of people who play, and enjoy, all kinds of sports. … We can’t be so narrowly focused that we ignore some sports or activities.” Stoner said club leaders constantly review what sports are “hot,” and find coaches and advisers to help newcomers, those who’ve dabbled in the sport, and those who want to focus on the minute details that will make them better. Rock climbing, for example, seemingly from nowhere, captured the imagination of young and old members. Some want to stay in shape. Others are avid climbers. When the sport became increasingly popular, club leaders made room for it in the space once used for badminton courts. They reached out to Timy Fairfield, a retired professional climber living in Albuquerque, New Mexico. He also had been a member of the U.S. national climbing team for 12 years. “I have to be honest,” Fairfield said. “I’d never heard of the Multnomah Athletic Club. But I was invited to come to the club. I conducted a youth performance camp on modern training techniques.” The camp was so well received by parents and participants that Fairfield was asked to advise the climbing program. He designed the rock wall and provided the bouldering floor. Since Fairfield came on board, Stoner said, the climbing program has exploded. “Timy still lives in New Mexico,” Stoner said. “But he comes to visit, spending a week or more at a time. He regularly contacts our coaches and participants.” While Fairfield, 46, no longer competes, he is not “an old, fat coach.” “I’ve climbed all over the world, in 40 countries,” he said. “I design climbing gyms all over the country. The kids know I’m serious, I’m in their corner, and I’ll share my experience with them.” Stoner said some sports and athletics seem to have natural life cycles, and it’s the

responsibility of club leaders to be aware when one withers and another flourishes. Boxing, a vibrant program in the 1960s, eventually gave way to karate. For many years, Stoner said, the club had limited offerings for those interested in golf. To change that, they brought on Robyn Lorain, 37, as an adviser. A certified professional golf instructor, she’d been with a golf club in Seattle and in Portland before joining MAC. “I’m here to work with all ages,” she said. “I’m trying to capture the spectrum from beginners to those who want to compete. We have a huge potential here. An obvious challenge is that we don’t have a golf course.” Lorain works with Stoner to find space to instruct – using the batting cages in the gym, for example, for people to practice teeing off. She’s also organized golfing events off-site. Her most pressing need is to find a “green grass location” where people can play and practice. The long-range plan, she said, is to build a golf program from the ground up, much the way the climbing gym boomed when kids became interested in doing something other than participating in the big three sports: basketball, football and baseball. Stoner asks members interested in working with coaches and advisers to contact his office for help. MAC continues to climb … while staying firmly on the cutting edge. Tom Hallman Jr. is a Pulitzer Prizewinning reporter for The Oregonian, author and MAC member who teaches the club’s Tell-Your-Story writing class. In celebration of MAC’s 125th anniversary, Hallman is writing a monthly essay about the club. WM
