y wife and I had the privilege of at tend i ng t he M AC E a s t e r Br unch. The food was excellent, which has been the standard since Chef Philippe Boulot and Food and Beverage Director Cameron McMurry Robert Radler teamed up at MAC. PRESIDENT T he s e r v ic e a nd ambience were, as is typical, delightful.

What was an unexpected pleasure for us, however, was the entertainment provided by numerous young children. The toddlers and preschoolers, all dressed in their Easter finery, were so excited they just could not sit still. Having an adultsize Easter Bunny giving hugs and candy added to the fun. And, of course, the cotton candy machine was a big hit. We saw more than one grandparent slyly getting cotton candy for a young grandchild, much to the dismay of the grandchild’s parents. I can imagine how hard it was to get that spun sugar out of clothing and off of car seats.

The preteens and teenagers, of course, were doing their best to eat everything.

One young man impressively went back to the dessert table at least three times.

You have to wonder how he has stayed as thin as a rail.

It was not long ago we would not have had the joy of seeing all these young people at the club. I have had many conversations with our secretary, Todd Husband, about the “good old days” at MAC. Todd has been coming to MAC since he was a child, and has many stories about how things were 50 years ago. MAC did not welcome children so readily back then, and had only a few programs for youth. Todd noted he had to wear a suit and tie when entering the club when he was about 7 years old. Heaven forbid he spoke too loudly or disturbed the peace. For those of you who know Todd, it is no surprise that he got into some minor trouble with MAC adult members in those years gone by.

I recognize some members do not enjoy younger members being in the clubhouse. I suggest they think on how different MAC would be without our younger folks. Absent those youth, I believe MAC not only would not be the vibrant club it is, but also MAC would be looking at

significant survival issues. Without our younger families and members, MAC’s existence is much less assured. More than a few of you older members can recall the Aero Club and its unfortunate demise, in part due to declining membership.

I ask those who look with disdain upon our younger members to recall their own youth. Now be honest, do not view those memories through rose-colored glasses.

Were any of us very much different than our younger members? Well, yes, I have to admit the younger folks today are far more tech savvy than we were, and they are faced with far more information than we ever had to digest. How they have handled that information is to their credit.

And how did you older members get from that naïve youthful state to where you are today? I know in my case it was mom, dad, a few well-meaning teachers, and a lot of just bumbling along.

Our club is a place younger members can safely get “educated” in how to be good, hard-working members of society.

I, like most parents, want to give my children the opportunity to avoid that bumbling along aspect of growing up.

MAC offers its younger members many programs and classes to improve the maturing environment. Our club is a place younger members can safely get “educated” in how to be good, hard-working members of society.

Through M AC, our youth can get involved in the numerous MAC sport programs where they learn how to work hard and rise to challenges. At MAC our young members not only learn the club rules on member behavior, but they also must pass a test concerning those rules. MAC also has numerous classes that address such things as résumé writing, etiquette, dancing and college applications.

In other words, MAC is not just letting those youngsters loose upon us older members. MAC is an opportunity for, and in some cases requires, our younger members to learn and mature.

So the next time you see some children here having a bit of fun, think of your youth and remember those children are helping MAC and MAC is helping them. WM

ur club offers our members wonderful opportunities to play, compete, learn, dine, entertain and achieve lifelong friendships. I have met most members, but within a community of 20,000, it is hard to know Norm Rich everyone by name.

GENERAL MANAGER Staff prides itself on interacting with all members as much as possible. It has been a true joy to meet so many members, get to know them and see their children grow up and begin their lives as adults. Then we watch the cycle begin anew.

I don’t like to see members leave the club as they make changes in their lives. I want to ensure we keep all members engaged, regardless of age or whether you are a resident or non-resident member. Our club is a great value for our members, and our size means everyone can find something that suits their interests.

Over the years, my family has grown in front of our membership. We arrived in Portland when our children were entering middle and high schools. Last month, our twins graduated from college and began their working careers – the cycle begins anew. I have been fortunate enough to keep them engaged in the club, and like all families and young adults, we will have them make a decision about their memberships: whether to stay engaged or move on and take a chance on winning the lottery if they move back to Portland. They can remain members by taking advantage of a significantly reduced non-resident membership, as can all members living outside of a 50-mile radius from the club.

I am hard pressed to start a cycle anew with my wife Valerie. We are not losing our kids, they are spreading their wings, and Valerie and I will also spread our wings, looking for new adventures that are meaningful and rewarding. We have friends around the globe, but most importantly, we have friends here in Portland, and club members who have added so much meaning to our lives’ cycles.

Planning for the future The Board and directors team are partnering on an effort to plan for our future by working on capital and operational budgets earlier in the year. We want to better understand where we stand on these budgets,

and inform members of important decisions prior to the new year. This will not be easy, but it will help bring balance into our decisions. In all of our decisions, we will remember our obligation to balance service levels with sensible dues, which add value to every membership through member equity and by services offered. I am proud of this partnership, and proud to lead our club from an executive management perspective. I am proud to work with our Board to execute on their direction, and look forward to the new strategic plan.

Summer is finally here Summer holidays begin this month. It’s a time to relax and play in Oregon, or in places farther afield. We deserve a splendid summer after our aggressive winter and soggy spring, which delivered record rainfall and little sun.

This month, summer camps begin and we open Splash and the Sunset Bistro with a few new features.

Transitions Our communications department has expanded slightly, highlighting the need to market and get more targeted messages to our membership. We just surveyed our members on what is important to them from a communications standpoint, and soon we will take key findings and implement change or new focus based on what members tell us.

We are hiring a technology director who will focus on getting our web platform right and improving our technology. Our new Athletic and Wellness Director, Phil Galvin, has had time to orient, meet many of our members and listen to their ideas and priorities as we move forward in athletics and wellness. We value working with our members and evolving. I am hopeful our membership values the hard work of our directors, managers and staff as we work to accomplish as much as we can using our areas of expertise.

Paperless Billing The club spends nearly $64,000 to send paper billing statements each year. In an effort to be more efficient and save money, we are encouraging more members to sign up for paperless billing. Beginning July 1, we will charge members $1 to receive a paper billing statement in the mail. For more information and instructions on how to sign up, please see page 20.

Enjoy your summer with family time, away time and meaningful time here at the club. Every year brings something a new! WM JUNE 2017

A

s we head into these beautiful summer months, I cannot help but smile as the sun starts to emerge. My first 30 days as the Athletic and Wellness Director at MAC have been exceptional. I continue to be amazed at Phil Galvin the incredible level of ATHLETIC AND care, class and kindness WELLNESS DIRECTOR with which I have been treated. I want to thank staff and members alike for their patience as I continue to learn and understand the club. I have been amazed this past month at the breadth of activities the club provides its members. I had the opportunity to travel with the basketball program to Spokane for NACAD championships, at which MAC won four of seven division titles. The hoopers certainly provided me with a strong welcome.

Another highlight of my first month at the club was spending time with the legendary Polar Bears/MerryMacs groups. I excitedly accepted their invitation to play water volleyball with them – truly not knowing what to expect. After being greeted by the 12 or so members, I settled into my spot in the pool to take part in the fun. Within minutes, this friendly game of water volleyball changed a bit, as a ball whizzed by my head at 50 mph!

Yes, they certainly do play for real!

As I get to know our impressive athletic staff; I would be remiss to not thank Assistant Athletic Director Lisa Virtue for all of her help.

She has provided me with an exceptional environment to get to know the club, sprinkling in a stack of policies to memorize along the way. Sarah Burchard has also been incredibly supportive to me during this time, as well as Court Sports Director Dan Baggett. Perhaps some of you have quickly learned that I am not a sit-in-my-office type of director. I truly prefer to be out in the club, visiting with members and being in the environment. I find this style to be a far more effective way to be in touch with what is happening in the club. So, if you come by my office and don’t see me sitting there, don’t be surprised.

Something bigger Lastly, a very wise person once told me: ‘We are truly never happy until we are a part of something that is much bigger than ourselves.’

Well, that is MAC. What a special environment, made up of incredible people, programs and outlets. I am truly so very proud to be a part of this family. Please never hesitate to reach out to me directly if I can help you in any way.

I look forward to seeing you in the club. WM

FACES IN THE CLUB MAC swimmer Anna Jorgensen had a breakthrough performance this season. The Southridge High School freshman placed in the top five in four of her six events at the Oregon Swimming State Championships – second in both the 100- and 200meter backstroke, and fifth in both the 500 free and the 100 free. She also finished sixth in the 200 free and eighth in the 50 free. Anna’s 100 and 200 backstroke times, as well as her 50 free time, put her in the top three of MAC’s all-time short course 13-14 girls rankings. Jorgensen has been a member of the MAC swim team for six years and is no stranger to success. She set her first MAC record in the 100-meter backstroke at the age of 10, and has worked her way to the top of her age group since. Her next goal is to qualify for USA Swimming Winter Junior National Championships. Her parents are Barbara and Dan Jorgensen. Dan swam for the U.S. Olympics team in 1988 and 1992, earning gold and bronze medals in the 4 x 200-meter freestyle relay.

To submit information for Faces in the Club, contact Communications Manager Tony Roberts at 503-517-7220 or troberts@themac.com.

Dance Coordinator Jon Jackson won the All-Star Jack & Jill at the City of Angels Swing Dance Championships in Los Angeles. Jack & Jill is a competitive format that involves drawing a partner randomly and improvising on the spot to music.

Jackson’s win is significant because he performed in the role of follower (traditionally a woman’s part), and is one of the first men in the world to win a high-level competition as a follower. “I played a key role in the movement to change the rules to allow non-traditional dancers to compete, with the help of a few high-ranking historical figures in the community, as well as massive support from the community itself,” he says. Keep an eye out for Jackson’s West Coast Swing workshops at MAC.

MAC handball legend Ed Grossenbacher won the 2017 U.S. Handball Association National Masters Doubles Championship in the 75 age group on April 6 in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Teaming up with his partner from Tucson, Arizona, Grossenbacher won his 53rd National Handball Tournament age-group title. He now has more national age group handball championships than anyone in the history of handball.

Grossenbacher credits his Zen master handball teacher Jack Scrivins for his success, as well as all the excellent players on the MAC team. “I have to leave the club and play internationally to get a win,” he says.

Nathan Nguyen was recently accepted into the United States Military Academy at West Point.

The 18-year-old Jesuit High School senior said attending West Point has been a goal of his since he was a sophomore. “It became my dream at that time, and I did everything I could to prepare and submit a competitive application to West Point,” he said. He is unsure what he wants to study – right now, he’s more focused on completing basic training, or “beast” as it is called there.

As a first-generation Asian American of immigrant parents, he said he is thankful for the opportunities MAC has provided him and credits swim coaches Alex Nikitin and Gary Leach with helping him achieve his dream of getting into West Point.

MAC racquetball players Lindsay Briglia and Dylan Reid both found success at the USA Racquetball Northwest Regionals in April.

Briglia, a senior at Lincoln High School, won the Women’s A Singles at the Cascade Athletic Club in Gresham. She adds this accomplishment to a standout career at LHS, where she plays the No.1 girls position. She is currently the fourth-ranked girls high school racquetball player in Oregon. Briglia will attend Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff in the fall and plans to play racquetball there.

Reid, 24, continued his dominance of the northwest with a win in the Men’s Open singles, following his win at the State Open singles tournament in March. He also put in a great performance at the John Pelham Memorial Shootout at MAC last year, finishing second in the Elite/ Open singles category and first in the doubles category. Reid grew up in MAC Racquetball and led Lincoln High School to numerous state titles. He is ranked No. 46 in the country in men’s singles, according to USA Racquetball.

He currently works as a Mechanical Engineer at Insitu in Hood River.

MULTNOMAH ATHLETIC FOUNDATION

Building a Wave of Support for Region’s Youth W

e can make an impact in simple ways by working together – that’s the power of a group. Together, we can create a wave generating a positive and lasting ripple effect. That’s what Multnomah Athletic Foundation aims to do every day – and it does it with your support.

Crowd funding is a method of raising capital through the collective effort of friends, family and individual investors. It taps into the collective efforts of a large pool of individuals and leverages their networks for a greater outreach. As you participate and contribute during the club’s annual fund drive benefitting the Multnomah Athletic Foundation, you are part of this collective effort. Every gift makes the compounding effect of MAC members even greater, creating a wave of generosity and support that has definite ripple effects.

The results are funds invested in nonprofit organization providing athletic experiences for youth in underserved communities and supporting incredible young people starting their journey in college.

Students benefit Portland State University student Michelle Escobar benefitted from a Loprinzi Scholarship. Her college experience is helping her develop as an active and engaged citizen in our community. As her first year of college came to a close, she shared her experience.

“My freshmen year in college has definitely been a very different experience from high school. For me, it felt as if I was starting over since it was a brand new school, new people and new environment all around me. I have been very busy with my soccer and school schedule and although it has been challenging to balance both things, I have actually been learning to manage my time wisely in all aspects of my life. One community highlight that I have been in this year was getting the opportunity to visit the Oregon State Capitol in Salem to speak on

behalf of the athletic body and school community.

My partner and I explained to them how important PSU and keeping college affordable was to us. We shared our personal experiences with them and emphasized on how we needed $100M in state funding for higher education, keeping the Sports Lottery, and also receiving help on a new health science building that PSU is planning to build in order to collaborate with OHSU. I have also been Michelle involved with CAUSA, which is an immigrants Escobar rights organization. I helped them with phone banking during the recent presidential election calling multiple people from the Latino community, reminding them to turn in their ballots on time or guiding them on how to do so. Overall, my first year has been great so far and I definitely hope to do more in the summer!”

Of course, Escobar is just one of many former Loprinzi scholarship recipients making an impact.

Another scholarship recipient and current college student made a contribution of $30 to MAF. His gift required him to take a few dollars from each paycheck over the past year. He wanted to pay forward the powerful opportunity the scholarship provided.

Another athlete, who received a scholarship from MAF’s nonprofit partner, Rugby Oregon, shared that the sport has provided her with the confidence to stand up for herself on and off the field.

Taken together, MAC members contributions in July created a funding pool of over $200,000 in 2016. These funds create opportunity, access and gratitude. You entrust us to invest the funding in our community by increasing access and opportunities. We take that responsibility and privilege seriously. We hope you will continue to join this simple way to create a wave. WM JUNE 2017

HOUSE

Electronic Device Use Keep an eye out for some colorful temporary signage going up in the locker rooms and E&C Room this month. This campaign is aimed at clarifying the rules about where electronic devices may be used on the Basement level. We’ve seen an increase in the number of Sounding Boards submitted regarding members using their cell phones in restricted areas, particularly the Women’s Locker Room. And it’s no wonder there is confusion around this because electronic devise use (EDU) rules vary depending on what part of the locker room you’re in.

Members may have their cell phones with them anywhere in the club when they are in silent mode, even in “wet areas” like the whirlpool and sauna. The temporary signs will explain what kind of usage is allowed.

For example, no cell phone usage is allowed in restrooms or “wet areas” even though a member may have their phone with them.

This means no talking, texting, scrolling or photography. In other areas, such as phone banks, members may have a quiet phone conversation. If a member is using a phone to text in an area where silent usage is permitted and then receives a call, that member should move to an area where quiet conversations are allowed.

We’ve developed three color-coded icons to help explain the EDU rules in each specific area. They will be incorporated into the signage, and into a handy postcard that lists the usage allowed in specific areas of the Basement. These postcards will be available in the men’s and women’s locker room and are great to pass along to anyone who might be confused about the rules.

Why Providence?

I grew up in Portland, so it feels good to give back to my home town. It’s especially rewarding to work for an organization whose values are lived out every day. Providence is a unique organization that remains steadfast to its history and mission – while also advancing cutting-edge cardiovascular care for the next 50 years.

What’s your dream for the Heart Institute?

Our goal is to be recognized as the leading provider of patient-centered cardiovascular care on the West Coast and to be a national leader in how we think about and address heart disease prevention and wellness.

What are your hobbies?

I collect books, mostly first editions of 19th and 20th century British and American literature.

Also, Portland is a great town for food. There’s a great little pizza place in the Cully neighborhood that’s like going back in time. I won’t tell you exactly where it is … finding it is part of the fun!

To learn more, visit WeLoveThat.org

Who were your mentors?

I really admire Dr. Leonard Cobb, who was at the University of Washington when I studied there.

He got me interested in sudden cardiac death, which ultimately led to my career in electrophysiology.

Also, I learned a lot from Dr. Jeremy Swan at Cedars Sinai, who co-invented the pulmonary artery balloon catheter.

Why does philanthropy matter to your work?

Donor support always helps us advance care for our patients.

Just as one example, we have one of the top sites in the country for replacing aortic valves with catheters instead of open heart surgery. We couldn’t have done that without donor support.

Philanthropy helps us innovate, grow programs, and attract physicians who are visionary and committed to being the best.

In Memoriam William Edward Love March 13, 1926 - April 4, 2017 Senior preferred member William Edward Love died April 4, 2017.

Born March 13, 1926, in Eugene, Bill was valedictorian at Eugene High School, class of 1943, and worked as a sports and news reporter for the Eugene Register-Guard while in high school. Drafted into the Navy in 1944, he received his bachelor of science degree in naval science from the University of Notre Dame in 1946. He went on to earn a master’s in journalism from the University of Oregon in 1949, and a doctor of jurisprudence from the University of Oregon School of Law in 1952.

Bill served as assistant professor of law and assistant dean at the University of Washington School of Law from 1952-56. During that time in Seattle, he met Sylvia Jaureguy. Bill and Sylvia married in 1955, and were together until her death in 2010.

Bill and Sylvia moved to Portland in 1956, where Bill served as a partner in the law firm of Cake, Jaureguy, Hardy, Buttler & McEwen until 1969. Bill was chairman and CEO of Equitable Savings and Loan Association from 1970-82. Returning to law practice in 1983, Bill focused on business and corporate law and represented financial institutions as a partner and contract lawyer at Schwabe Williamson and Wyatt, P.C., until his death.

Bill served on advisory councils of the Federal Home Loan Bank Board and the Federal National Mortgage Association, and as a commissioner for the Oregon Racing Commission, the Port of Portland, and the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle.

However, he especially loved his community work, serving on the boards of the Portland Rose Festival Association, the Boy Scouts of America Cascade-Pacific Council, and the United Way of Columbia-Willamette.

His entire life he loved sports of all kinds, and his greatest avocation was as a football referee for the PAC-10 conference from 196081. He enjoyed the energy of the game, and the push-back from the coaches and fans. He once reminisced that one of the best days of his life was refereeing the Rose Bowl in 1981. Bill also appreciated time with his family. From watching his children and grandchildren compete at sporting events, to the annual gatherings he arranged in Gearhart, he loved to see everyone thriving.

Bill is survived by his four children and their families, daughter, Kathryn Petersen of Bellingham, Washington, husband, Paul; and sons, Joel and Kyle; son, Jeffrey of Portland

wife, Colleen; son, Michael, and daughter, Sophia; son, Douglas of Bainbridge Island, Washington, wife, Rachel; and daughters, Elsie, Abigail and Siri; and son, Gregory of Marin County, California, wife, Julie; and daughter, Claire. Bill also is survived by his sister, Imogene Adolf, of Michigan.

Thomas D. Moss March 18, 1943-May 12, 2016 Senior Preferred Member Thomas Darryl Moss passed away unexpectedly on May 12, 2016, in his sleep in Portland. He was 73.

Tom was born and raised in Port Townsend, Washington. Tom’s childhood could only be described as colorful. His friends and family have many entertaining tales of Tom’s childhood misadventures. Tom graduated in 1961 from Port Townsend High School. He then worked as a mechanic at the Port Townsend Crown Zellerbach paper mill.

He also attended Tacoma Trade School, where he earned a certificate in diesel mechanics.

In 1964, Tom enlisted in the U.S. Coast Guard and was stationed aboard the cutter Diligence in Key West, Florida. After his discharge from the U.S. Coast Guard, Tom attended Clark College, earning an A.A. in business. Additionally, he attended Portland Community College where he earned an A.S. degree in industrial arts. Tom went to work for Munnell & Sherrill as a salesman of mill and industrial supplies. He eventually became the manager of the Portland Munnell & Sherrill store, became a major shareholder of the firm and served on its board of directors.

After 29 years, Tom retired from Munnell & Sherrill. Soon thereafter he opened his own business, Moss Marine, specializing in boat and engine repair. Tom loved boats, all things related to boats, and most people related to boats. In high school wood shop Tom built a skiff. In his adult life Tom owned (and constantly maintained) large wooden boats, including his beloved 36-foot Grand Banks Classic. Tom was a member of the Columbia River Yacht Club where he was known as the local MacGyver; he could solve almost any problem and fix almost anything that ailed a boat, mechanical or otherwise.

Tom was typically full of life and laughter.

His smile and personality lit up the room.

His heart was filled with love and patience for his family and for his friends. He was the uncle and friend to many children whom he often wound up into a wild frenzy with his wild pranks and playfulness. To children and adults, Tom was bigger than life.

Tom was predeceased by his mother, Catherine; father, Homer Donald; and sisters, Marilynn Martinez and Virginia McClintok.

Tom is survived by his wife, Judy Moss of Portland; brother, Jerry Moss of Tucson,

Arizona; cousins, Brenda Dubose and Sue Simpson; and many nieces and nephews throughout Washington and Oregon.

Nelson Kirk Taylor Feb. 14, 1944-April 25, 2017 Senior Family Member Kirk Taylor passed away on April 25, 2017. He was 73.

Kirk was born in Portland on Feb. 14, 1944. The second of four children, he often said that they all got lucky having the gift of John and Greeta Taylor as their parents.

Their home was in Raleigh Hills. Kirk experienced the safety and freedom of the 50’s delivering newspapers on his bike and riding to Portland to caddie or play golf.

Spirited family dinner conversations stimulated Kirk’s curiosity for learning, which he held dear his entire life. He became a man of many facets.

Never a boring dinner companion, Kirk was a lover of music, newspapers, books, watches, golf, airplanes, cars, conversation, ideas and much ‘big dog” red wine.

He graduated from U of O and received an MBA from PSU. He continued to admire and support both schools throughout his life.

Kirk’s career began with Merrill Lynch and E.F. Hutton. He soon moved to CBRE, where he worked as a commercial real estate broker for 39 years before retiring in 2013. He was a top producer and became an Executive Vice President specializing in multifamily. He enjoyed his career immensely and all of the people with whom he worked, especially his clients and colleagues around the country.

Kirk’s day began early with a 6 a.m. workout at MAC. He appreciated the discipline, fitness and camaraderie of fellow members.

Kirk always offered a smile and was a positive influence. As someone recently captured, “one could not help but appreciate Kirk’s old-school manner mixed with irreverence, humor and very great kindness.”

Kirk and Victoria were married for 40 years. They had a very busy life with fulfilling careers, many friends, beach trips, golf, poodles, co-piloting airplanes, music, entertaining and travel. Kirk was never happier than when surrounded by friends at home, enthusiastically sharing his favorite eclectic taste in music.

Kirk served on the Heart Advisory Board of Providence St. Vincent Medical Foundation, and Portland State University Athletic Directors Advisory Board.

He leaves his wife Victoria, brother Scott Taylor ( Elizabeth), sister Debbie Rutherford, sister-in-law Jennis Taylor (Terry), nieces Kristen and Kendra Rutherford, and nephews Andrew, Graham, Matthew and Ben Taylor.

Kirk was preceded in death by his brother, Terry Taylor. WM JUNE 2017

A PROUD TRADITION

MAC SCHOLAR ATHLETES

M

AC’s Scholar Athlete program is a proud tradition that dates back to 1971, when the club handed out awards to students from each of the Portland Interscholastic League schools. Since then, the program has expanded to include student athletes from 28 schools across the Portland region, and added a scholarship program, funded by the Multnomah Athletic Foundation. Over the years, MAC has provided opportunities for nearly 1,000 of the region’s brightest student athletes. This year, we took some time to speak with two high school seniors who have thrived in the program.

2015 MAC SCHOLAR ATHLETE

JONAH PEMBERTON Y

BY JENN DIRECTOR KNUDSEN PHOTO BY CRAIG MITCHELLDYER

ou would be forgiven for thinking basketball is Jonah Pemberton’s best sport. He was captain of the basketball team during his junior year at Lincoln High School while maintaining a dean’s list grade point average. This year, after transferring to La Salle, he helped lead the team to the Oregon Class 5A Final Four at Gill Coliseum in Corvallis; earned First Team All-League, First Team All-Tournament, and Second Team All-State; and led his team in both scoring and assists.

Despite his success, he’s moving past the parquet floor. Next academic year, Pemberton heads to college and will dedicate himself solely to golf, which follows right on the heels of basketball season. He made a tough but savvy decision.

“I met Jonah last spring when he visited the school,” says Aaron Hazel, a La Salle teacher and the private school’s head golf coach. “I didn’t know anything about him except that he was a pretty good basketball player. I got excited when they said he was an even better golfer.”

Indeed, Pemberton – a +1-handicap golfer – leaves his North Portland home this August for Montgomery-based Alabama State University, where he’ll swing for the Hornets on a full golf scholarship.

SCH O LA R AT HLET E P R O G R A M Two years ago, Pemberton got his first taste of the financial advantage sports could offer. After submitting an application supported by Lincoln High School’s principal and athletic director, Pemberton received a $1,500 MAC Scholar Athlete award.

Gifted annually since 1971 to regional athletes during their sophomore year, the money is provided by MAC’s non-profit arm, the Multnomah Athletic Foundation. The scholarship stipulates the student athlete must put his or her earnings toward college tuition or related fees, and has up to six years to do so. Further, MAC’s scholar athletes enjoy club privileges while in high school and an automatic path to membership once they graduate.

Back then, Pemberton didn’t know he’d become the recipient of a full ride to college on an athletic scholarship. But MAC’s Scholar Athlete program paved the way. He works out at the club frequently, using the

facilities more than any of the current crop of scholar athletes.

“I knew I wanted to play a college sport,” Pemberton said recently from La Salle, where he was taking a quick break from his work as an educational assistant to struggling students. “The scholarship was just a benefit that helped me reach that goal.” (He’s designated his earmarked money for room and board, since ASU is taking care of his tuition.)

“Sports have always kept me busy, out of trouble, and more motivated to do well in school,” Pemberton says. “MAC has everything; pools, courts, workout equipment. It’s benefited me a lot.”

He admits to being a “procrastinator” by nature, but the hours he’s had to dedicate to sports and to constantly work toward the next level have meant precious little time to waste.

“I’m always on top of my stuff athletically – working out, shooting, lifting,” he says. “I always got my stuff done. But sometimes I would be doing my homework the same morning of class.”

Once he trained his laser focus on becoming a college athlete, he became more efficient at honing his body, particularly for golf (“I practice two hours a day, minimum”), and his mind for the classroom and additional commitments. Heading for his high school diploma with a 3.7 GPA, Pemberton also has made time for Portland Rescue Mission, Northwest Training Center and First Tee of Portland.

Mere days after Pemberton arrives this summer in Montgomery, ASU’s golf team hits the links for its first tournament of the year. In college, golf is both a fall and spring sport.

While sports helped Pemberton keep procrastination at bay in high school, he’s anticipating athletics in college will keep homesickness at a driver’s length.

“I’m extremely close to my parents,” he says. “I hang out with my dad more than anybody,” he says of his golf caddy, movie buddy and workout partner. “He’s my very best friend.”

Hazel describes Pemberton as a mentor to his teammates and consummate competitor. He believes he’ll excel at college golf and beyond.

“King Smash,” as he’s known to his current teammates, “has all of the skills to continue on in the game of golf,” Hazel says. “He carries the ball right now as good as some tour players do; if he puts the time in with the short game, there is no telling how far he can go.”

Pemberton is sanguine about his golf future. He says he’ll give himself up to six years after college graduation to qualify for the pro tour. But, failing that, he hopes the pre-law major he plans to select will lead him to law school and then a legal career.

Likely with frequent breaks from legalese taken on the greens. WM

“I’ve done a really good job of looking at the bright side of it,” she says of her injuries. “I had to find other things I was passionate about” – Celia Boyer

2015 MAC SCHOLAR ATHLETE

CELIA BOYER

C

BY JENN DIRECTOR KNUDSEN

elia Boyer is a MAC Scholar Athlete, but she doesn’t play sports. That is, she doesn’t anymore.

A three sport athlete – volleyball, basketball, track – at Beaverton High School her freshman and sophomore years, Boyer sustained neardebilitating knee injuries that ultimately sidelined her by junior year.

“Thanksgiving weekend I couldn’t get out of bed, due to the pain,” Boyer, now an 18-year-old senior, recalls of her knee pain in fall 2015. In fact, to get around at all, she temporarily needed a wheelchair.

But first, some sporting background.

“I was born into playing sports; I’ve always had sports,” says Boyer, noting her dad, Bob Boyer, is Beaverton High School’s long-time football and track coach.

Boyer made the Beavers’ junior varsity volleyball team her freshman year – the first year she had ever played the sport. By season’s end, the setter had swung to varsity, and her team placed fifth in the state tournament.

Sophomore year, Boyer found success in the javelin and high jump, lettering in both track and field and basketball. For the latter, she played point guard and started on the junior varsity team before swinging up to varsity.

And it was during her second year in high school that she became a MAC Scholar Athlete, winning $1,500. This fall she sheds her Beaver clothing for Duck wear and will put her earnings toward tuition at the University of Oregon, where she plans to major in marketing.

Gifted annually since 1971 to regional scholar athletes their sophomore year, the $1,500 scholarship is provided by MAC’s non-profit arm, the Multnomah Athletic Foundation. The scholarship stipulates the student athlete must put his or her earnings toward college tuition or related fees and has up to six years to do so. Further, MAC’s scholar athletes enjoy club privileges while in high school and an automatic path to membership once a graduate.

B EYO ND S P ORT S Now, back to the present.

By junior year and after she’d torn her left anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) for the second time, and underwent a hamstring graft and then a patella replacement, Boyer began coming to terms with life without competitive – or even casual – sports.

Even a leisurely jog landed her back in physical therapy. Then there was the ongoing pain. At some point, she realized that if she returned to the sports she loved, “Chances are, I’m going to have to get surgery again.”

Once a scholar athlete, Boyer today is no less a scholar, having learned to channel her competitive cunning into other areas about which she is passionate, including marketing, student leadership and volunteerism.

“I’ve done a really good job of looking at the bright side of it,” she says on a recent school day, taking a break from a student government class. “I had to find other things I was passionate about; I didn’t put all my eggs in one basket.” Her complimentary MAC membership has helped. “I use the gym (at MAC) a ton,” taking classes like spinning and M-Clubbin.

Boyer is student body president, manages the student store, is a member of BHS’ social media team, and has interned at marketing and public relations non-profits (with sports themes, of course). She’s also helped coordinate clothing donations to local homeless shelters.

Her biggest, and perhaps most enduring, accomplishment is Respect Week.

“Beaverton had nothing to counter bullying,” she said, referring to a freshman year revelation.

Boyer – and many fellow students – became aware of one student constantly picking on certain kids’ hair, clothing and worse in the hallways and via Twitter. Other students followed the main bully’s lead.

“It became a real problem,” she recalls. She got together with a few friends, engaged in anti-bullying research and launched Respect Week fall of her sophomore year.

Respect Week is still in place, and the initiative will outlast Boyer’s Beaverton tenure.

“Celia’s work with Respect Week set the foundation for the work that we have been doing in our anti-bullying effort in the school,” says Jason Sarmiento, who has known Boyer for four years and is her advisor in the Student Leadership program.

So important is Beaverton’s autumn Respect Week, it caught the attention of Trail Blazers’ star Damian Lillard.

Boyer’s research had led her to Lillard’s own anti-bullying efforts. She knew his public endorsement of Respect Week would be a boon to the initiative. So she channeled the drive she used to show on the court into the effort.

She spent more than half a year trying to get in touch with Lillard, one of the world’s best point guards, to invite him to Beaverton. Boyer never gave up, and eventually he responded, visiting the high school in spring 2015 to talk about the scourge of bullying.

“That was my biggest accomplishment,” Boyer says of having met with and brought the Blazers to Beaverton.

No offense, Mr. Lillard, but Boyer may well accomplish even more.

Sarmiento, the student leadership advisor, says Boyer’s now working on an anti-drinking-and-driving campaign that won’t get off the ground until after she graduates. “She is continually working to make sure that we can have something in place for years to come, even if it won’t benefit her directly.” WM JUNE 2017

Additionally, each student receives a $1,500 scholarship to be paid to the college or university of their choice. The scholarship funds tuition, fees and books, and can be used for up to six years after their high school graduation.

SOCIAL ACTIVITIES

Solar Eclipse: Once-in-a-lifetime Day Trip Registration opens Friday, June 9, for a day trip to OMSI’s eclipse event in Salem

B

y now, you’ve certainly heard of the celestial phenomenon happening Monday, Aug. 21. Oregon is the first state to see the total eclipse of the sun, the first time this has happened on the U.S. mainland since 1979.

Members have the opportunity to experience this firsthand on the Solar Eclipse Experience, as they head to OMSI’s Total Solar Eclipse Viewing Party at the Oregon State Fairgrounds in Salem.

A charter bus leaves MAC at 4 a.m. (gulp!). At the fairgrounds, participants have the opportunity to hear from brilliant space experts and experience key eclipse moments with a dramatic drum kick from Portland Taiko. Then, witness maximum totality – complete darkness – for close to two minutes at 10:17 a.m. through solar eclipse viewing glasses that are provided. The event ends at noon. Expect to arrive back in Portland between 2-3 p.m., pending traffic.

The cost is $43 for members and $50 for nonmembers and includes transportation, a light breakfast on the bus, afternoon snack, and the OMSI experience, which includes a general admission seat in the L.B. Day Amphitheater. Food and drink are available for purchase at the event for lunch.

BALLADEERS

Dream of Singing in Carnegie Hall? Join the Balladeers!

T

here are now two ways for MAC members to get to New York’s famous Carnegie Hall. You can “practice, practice practice” – as the old joke would have it – or you can join the Balladeers before next October.

That’s because the Balladeers have been invited to join their director, Dr. Scott Tuomi, as he leads a performance of Gabriel Faure’s Requiem at Carnegie Hall June 2, 2018.

Balladeers have been invited to be part of the 125-member chorus for this performance, which will include a full symphony orchestra and soloists.

“This will be the trip of a lifetime. There aren’t many musicians who can say they’ve performed in Carnegie Hall,” said Balladeer Chair John Wykoff. “We’ll be joining singers from across America in this chorus, including a couple other groups from Portland.”

Tuomi said he invited the Balladeers because of the group’s continuing musical improvement. Want to sign with the Balladeers at Carengie? Now is your chance. You are eligible if you join the group by Oct. 1, 2017. Prospective new members should contact Balladeer Karl Wetzel at wetzelkarl@hotmail.com. Balladeers summer open rehearsals are 7:15 p.m.

Thursdays, June 15, July 20 and Aug. 17.

“These guys have worked hard to improve the quality of their performances over the last few years and I thought this was a good reward for that effort. These are high-quality performances that are always either sold out or nearly so. It’s a great chance to make music on a high level with other high-quality musicians,” Tuomi said.

Tuomi said he will hold some extra rehearsals at MAC to ready the group for the Faure Requiem, which he described as “a very melodic piece of music, one which will be very gratifying to sing.” There also will be three days of rehearsal in New York, although there also will be plenty of time for sightseeing.

This is the first time Tuomi, who is head of the music department at Pacific University, has been asked to conduct one of these concerts, which are produced by New York-based MidAmerican Productions and MidAm International. During the six month 2018 season, other concerts will be presented in Florence, Verona, Venice and Lake Garda, Italy; Vienna and Salzburg in Austria; Paris; Hong Kong, Macau and Beijing, and at the 14th International Festival of the Aegean in Syros, Greece.

The Balladeers, in their 76th year, are thought to be the oldest non-university men’s chorus west of the Mississippi. WM

In early 1950s Los Angeles, private eye Lew Archer receives $50 to search for a new client’s missing daughter. The mother has opted to avoid calling the police, fearing her daughter might be “living in sin.” The novel draws the reader in with gritty descriptions and its film-noir narration. Does this period piece uncovering the seamy side of the 1950s hold up after more than 65 years?

CULTURE AND STYLE

Enjoy Olive Oil and Wine on Dayton Trip Enjoy 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 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 twoweek cancellation policy for this Culture and Style event, which is for those ages 21 and older. Register online at theMAC.com or call At Your Service at 503-517-7235.

The Criminal Brain 6:30-8 p.m. Wednesday, July 12 Why do some people live lawful lives, while others gravitate toward repeated criminality?

Do people choose to be moral or immoral, or is morality simply a genetically inherited function of the brain, like mathematical ability? Research suggests certain regions of the brain influence moral reasoning. Dr. Octavio Choi, director of Forensic Evaluation Service at the Oregon State Hospital and assistant professor of psychiatry at OHSU, explores how emerging neuroscience challenges longheld assumptions underlying the basis – and punishment – of criminal behavior.

College Athletics Recruiting 6:30-8:30 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 16 Is your student-athlete hoping to get recruited to play in college? Pete Gail, founder of PG Method, discusses key factors for high school families navigating the recruiting process. Gail discusses the athletic landscape, how to target the right school, academics, payment options and the recruiting process. For more information, visit www.pgmethod.com.

MELLOMACS

Singing Along to Silver Screen Classics The annual MelloMacs Spring Sing-along took MAC by storm this year, visiting all eras of the silver screen through melody and interactive fun. It was a lively and memorable afternoon with a full repertoire for every generation!

The Sing-along is the MelloMacs’ way of thanking club members for supporting the group for more than 50 years. While the group performs throughout the year at MAC functions and at local retirement communities, this signature event truly spotlights the MelloMacs’ inner glee, talent and personality.

The MelloMacs take the summer months off to rest their voices, but gather for various social activities to stay connected. As many of the MelloMacs have been singing together for decades, the social component of the group is woven tightly together, creating beauty Continued on page 50 JUNE 2017

PORTABLE POWER SOLOMON OLSHIN AND LAYTON ROSENFELD ARE KEEPING RESIDENTS OF NORTH PORTLAND’S HAZELNUT GROVE COMMUNITY CONNECTED WITH AN AWARD-WINNING SOLAR INVENTION.

by Kevin Gaboury photos by Adam Wickham

T

wo young MAC members are harnessing the power of the sun to make a difference in their community.

Layton Rosenfeld and Solomon Olshin, both sophomores at Catlin Gabel School, helped develop the JuiceBox, a solar-powered, sustainable energy source that provides light and power for people experiencing homelessness. Currently, 20 of the devices are installed in shelter pods at Hazelnut Grove – a houseless community located in North Portland. Residents use them to charge their devices, power laptop computers and read at night.

“The JuiceBox is the identification of a need in these houseless communities for electricity and light after dark,” Olshin said.

Olshin and Rosenfeld are members of Catlin Gabel’s 12-person InvenTeam, where students combine their love of science and engineering with a desire to help those who are less fortunate. The team also created the Water Trotter, which helps transport water in developing counties, and a carpooling app for high school students. Last year, JuiceBox was one of 16 high school

52 | The Wınged M |

JUNE 2017

projects across the country to win a $10,000 prize in the Lexus Eco Challenge. The prize money funded the first 20 JuiceBox units.

“For me, I think JuiceBox has been the most successful, as we’ve been able to see an impact on the community,” Rosenfeld said.

Hazelnut Grove residents appreciate having something in their pod that is solar-powered and doesn’t require maintenance, Olshin said. The solar panel, placed on the roof, charges a 12-volt battery. This supplies enough power to illuminate two LED lights for 25 hours, or power a laptop or charge a phone with the attached inverter. The solar panel continuously recharges the battery, meaning they rarely run out of power.

While working on the project, the students learned many Hazelnut Grove residents have jobs and other roles where they need to stay connected to their community.

Solomon Olshin, left, and Layton Rosenfeld have a goal to raise the funds for 40 more JuiceBoxes, below, to be installed at Dignity Village, a homeless community in Northeast Portland.

“JuiceBox enables them to charge their laptop and phones and maintain a reasonable level of connectedness in their own community, where they might not otherwise have it,” Olshin said.

The goal is to expand the reach of JuiceBox into other houseless communities and homeless shelters, but the biggest hindrance is the cost. One unit costs around $400 to make, with the bulk of

the cost being the solar panel.

The students also developed a program where homeless residents can receive a $50 stipend to build their own JuiceBox, gaining vocational skills in the process.

“What we’re really trying to do is not only provide a great product, but provide a great system for the people who are actually making the product,” Olshin said.

JUNE 2017

The goal is to raise the funds for 40 more JuiceBoxes to be installed at Dignity Village, a homeless community in Northeast Portland.

“The homeless situation in Portland is so apparent – growing up here, I see it every day, and I’ve always wanted to change that,” Rosenfeld said.

The team also plans to keep the documentation for building JuiceBox online in hopes that the project will spread beyond Portland.

“The reason we’re doing that is we love to get other communities involved in JuiceBox and involved in making these or adapting the solution,” Olshin said.

Rosenfeld said she joined the InvenTeam out of a love of science and a desire to help others and better her community. She would like to pursue a career in biology someday.

“To be a woman in STEM is definitely empowering,” she said. “I don’t know if I would have had the opportunity to do something like this at another school. It’s been empowering to know that just with a group of high schoolers, we can make a difference in other people’s lives.”

Olshin hopes to someday merge his passion for public service with his interests in business and technology.

“I want to be able to combine those skills and passions with something that will enable me to do that, like JuiceBox,” he said.

Coaches in Competition Our triathlon coaches have been busy this past year coaching and pursuing their own athletic goals. Coach Linnea Alvord has been bitten by the dirt bug for the last few years, increasingly seeking trail running and racing activities. Last fall she placed in the Fall Trail Series and followed it up with top placements at local trail races like Run for the Oaks, Sean’s Run, McDonald Forest, Mt. Tabor Tar ‘n’ Trail, Silver Falls and Shellburg Falls. She increased her mountain biking via trips to Bend and nights at the pump track. This spring, she’s off to a good start with a masters podium

finish at the Gorge Gravel Grinder, a 55-mile timed event that is part of a new three-race series called the Oregon Gravel Grinder Series. Alvord encourages anyone looking for safe and scenic places to cycle

ATHLETICS to start exploring the beauty of riding our many, many miles of beautiful unpaved roads. Most bikes are capable with the appropriate gear, as much of this riding incorporates paved and unpaved roads.

Coach Lauren Binder has transitioned to aquabike (swim/bike) racing and is adding to her illustrious running and triathlon career. She qualified for and will be competing in the Aquabike World Championship this August in Penticton, Canada.

A New Kind of Cross Training for Runners Attention all runners: Have you been meaning to add a cross training workout to your weekly miles? Here is your chance to try reformer Pilates with a group of like-minded athletes. A summer workshop at 1 p.m. on Thursdays this summer will provide you with introductory knowledge of Pilates and prepare you to use the reformer in any of the 18 beginning reformer classes that happen weekly at MAC. The Pilates reformer provides challenging exercises that build core strength and lengthen muscles, while providing dynamic stretches. Complete with springs, bars and straps, the reformer allows for thousands of different ways to lengthen while strengthening key muscles that tend to be left out of the running motion. Running is performing the same movement over and over, whereas Pilates is a balanced routine and the perfect way to strengthen muscles that aren’t utilized during running.

Five Ways Runners Benefit from Pilates Posture Improvement: This system of exercises is known for helping improve posture, which can translate over to your form in running. Pilates is known for emphasizing proper movement patterns, which can help prevent injury and create a balanced body.

Core Strengthening: Core strength allows your torso to act as a stabilizer and power house for you to transmit forces through when running. Core stability protects the spine and surrounding joints from injury during activity.

Balance: Pilates targets the muscles around the joints that are used for balance. If you’ve ever tripped on a rock while running, you know that core and balance are important in saving you from a fall!

Recovery: Pilates will improve your recovery time after strenuous mileage because your hips, legs and back will be looser and more

mobile. Flexibility, joint mobility and strength in stabilizer muscles all contribute to feeling less fatigued and tight after long runs.

Breath: One of the principles of Pilates is breath, and this practice translates easily to running. Pilates teaches you use a 3D breath pattern with increased awareness throughout movement patterns.

This introduction to runners is taught by instructor Mandee Pearson, a former distance junkie who found Pilates to be an amazing compliment to her long runs and race training. The class is taught over 10 weeks, with a minimum attendance of seven sessions required. Following the workshop, members will be prepared with the knowledge and skill they need to take any of the 18 beginning reformer classes that happen weekly at the MAC. The class runs from June 29 through Aug. 31. Experience not necessary. Grip socks required. Contact Pearson to register at 503-517-7537, ext. 821. WM

WALKING AND HIKING

Engaging All Seven Senses in Central Oregon Author LeeAnn Kriegh’s guidebooks cover much more than hikes. She visits MAC in June.

S

even senses? Aren’t there just five? Bend guidebook author LeeAnn Kriegh visits MAC at 7 p.m. Tuesday, June 6, to show many of the engaging photos from her book, The Nature of Bend, and talk about those extra two senses. She shows how and where you can transform a hike in Central Oregon’s wild areas into a walk of unfolding wonders. Once you know where in the wilderness to listen, smell, touch and even taste, you’ll have answers to all of your questions about local plants and animals.

“Kriegh catches Central Oregon’s flora and fauna perfectly in this handy guide.”

-William L. Sullivan, Oregon guidebook author In her book and talk, Kriegh shows how to connect with landscapes in ways far more engaging than just trodding across them.

In a fun sidebar typical of the book, she shares Oregon’s top 10 best-smelling trees and shrubs. (Did you know the leaves of the snowbrush smell like a really sweet cigar?) Unlike a typical field guide, her book not only offers up the names of animals and plants, but tells the stories behind them — their history, habits, characters and quirks. Did you know Oregon’s oldest western juniper is 1,600 years old, and that junipers can change sex from year to year depending on growing conditions?

60 | The Wınged M |

JUNE 2017

At her talk, Kriegh plays bird songs and shows photos of the discoveries you can make on the book’s 12 scavenger hunts in places like LaPine State Park or at Chimney Rock along the Crooked River. Hunts have up to 50 plants and animals to look for — some easy and great for introducing kids to wilderness exploration, and others more subtle and challenging to find.

Kriegh has written for regional magazines and websites, as well as for The Oregonian. For this book, she worked with more than 80 photographers and naturalists in Central Oregon, gathering their stories and amazing photos of local landscapes.

This talk is for all ages.

Finding Balance with MAC’s Xcel Program The program makes room for those who want to try gymnastics, but not make a full-time commitment

B

alance. As adults, we understand the importance and challenge of finding balance in our lives. The Xcel gymnastics program is all about balance.

Being a competitive gymnast traditionally requires incredible sacrifices. As gymnasts get older, homework, the desire to try other sports and the risk of burnout and injury all increase. Specializing in gymnastics may not work for every athlete. In the past, that meant a gymnast would retire. Xcel creates another option by amending the competitive requirements to allow for more moderate workouts. The shorter evening workout times for Xcel, typically about two hours, allow those with a love for gymnastics to balance the sport with homework and other interests.

Xcel was created by people with an appreciation of the incredible lessons team sports can teach young people. The idea is to help more athletes experience team unity, dedication, hard work, overcoming fears, goal setting and goal re-evaluation via the realm of competitive gymnastics. They do this in a manner that is safe

62 | The Wınged M |

JUNE 2017

and educationally sound, in the hopes of preserving the longevity of participation and maintaining the physical health of our athletes.

The flexibility of Xcel allows kids to practice the sport in a recreational environment with the guidance of coaches that tailor each routine and select the division that suits the needs of the athlete.

The Xcel ideology encourages athletes to strive for their personal best and achieve high quality of movement possible in the workout time given, regardless of participation in a competitive event. That’s right, participation in meets is optional. Athletes work out with the team, choose how many nights a week to come, and decide if they would like to compete or not. Competition should be a fun, challenging and rewarding experience for kids while teaching a wide variety of lessons and values; ultimately it is up to the family if competition is the most beneficial activity for an athlete.

Each athlete can learn to find and appreciate personal best efforts. Life and sport are a balancing act; Xcel can help our youth learn to appreciate the art of being healthy, active and hardworking.

ATHLETICS YOGA/PILATES

Arm Balances, Handstands and Inversions Power and Grace: Arm Balances, Handstands and Inversions Workshop with Rebecca Schefstrom 5:30-7:30 p.m. Friday, July 7, Studio Two ver been in a yoga class and unsure of how to start a handstand? Intimidated when things move to the wall? Or are you just looking to move your inversion and arm balance practice to the next level? Learn with yoga instructor Rebecca Schefstrom as she covers the body awareness, knowledge and steps needed to give you the power and grace you need to complete these rewarding asanas.

This two-hour yoga workshop is open to everyone and helps build confidence in getting into arm balances, handstands and inversions. Schefstrom covers functional anatomy, core work and the steps to get into these more challenging asanas. As with anything new, participants must break down the layers. Come to learn and have fun in a stress-free environment.

During the first half of the workshop, participants learn how to stabilize the spine, shoulder girdle and pelvis, which are key factors in understanding the mechanics of arm balances, handstands and inversions.

E

There is plenty of energizing and powerful core work. Schefstrom breaks down the major supporting muscles of the shoulder and upper back, and does some exercises to strengthen them and understand the importance of their support. Next, she works abdominals to strengthen the core, back and general posture.

During the last hour, Schefstrom puts what was just learned to work and explores some fun arm balances, handstands and inversions. Each asana is broken down in different stages, so no matter where participants are in their practice, they can explore each step they need.

Participants play with crow, side crow, splitting scissors, dragonfly, flying pigeon and others. There is also time to work on handstands and inversions. The wall is used for support to do different drills such as kick-ups, pikes and step-up drills. In addition, the workshop explores different exit strategies to make working away from the wall more comfortable. Finally, Schefstrom breaks down the steps to wheel and wheel walkovers on the wall. Class ends with a cool down and a restorative rest.

Yoga and Pilates Teen Conditioning Camp MAC holds a yoga and Pilates athletic conditioning camp this summer to help enhance performance for next season’s sports. The camp is for ages 14 to 17, and takes place from 2-4 p.m. the week of June 26.

The off season is the perfect time to introduce a cross-training activity. Cross-training is important because it helps prevent injuries, improves sport performance and helps maintain fitness levels during the offseason. Pilates and yoga are ideal because they are low impact, help with flexibility and core strength, and bring balance to an athlete’s overall fitness.

The camp is led by Lisa Buchmiller and Mandee Pearson. Buchmiller is the yoga supervisor at MAC, co-creator of Evolution PDX (cross-training class for athletes/dancers) and a personal trainer. She also teaches group exercise and dance. Pearson is a Pilates and yoga instructor. Both have experience working with young athletes. Their instruction is alignment-based, focusing on posture and form to reduce the risk of injury. Specific yoga and Pilates exercises are taught to help athletes address weaknesses to become stronger, more focused and more explosive for every sport.

By the end of the camp, young athletes will have built a core strength and flexibility routine they can do at home and on their own. Register online at theMAC.com.

Exploring Links Between Heart Disease and Dementia A recent podcast from Radiolab, “Bringing Gamma Back,” explores the potential treatment of Alzheimer’s disease by using a gamma light to reduce beta-amyloid plaque buildup in the brain.

Since the study has only been conducted on mice, scientists are far from claiming they’ve found a cure. The news is hopeful, and this episode renewed my fascination with the brain – how it works, what it does, and all of the intricate hardware involved.

With improvements in medicine, public health, nutrition and the overall standard of living, we have a growing population that is living much longer.

Dementia, which is a collective set of symptoms such as increased forgetfulness, confusion, disorientation or mood changes, is primarily a disease that affects seniors. Since we are living longer, the percentage of the total population afflicted is on the rise. Although new discoveries are being made daily, researchers are far from finding a cure or even an adequate treatment for dementia.

What is known is that there is a hearthead connection. Risk factors for heart disease are the same for dementia. They include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, obesity and smoking.

Alzheimer’s is the No. 1 cause of dementia, but there are other causes and risk factors such as Parkinson’s disease, head trauma

from a brain injury or stroke, genetic factors and family history.

So what can you do? Maintaining a healthy weight, good nutrition and activity level for your entire life are giant first steps to decrease your risk of dementia and other deadly conditions like cardiovascular disease and diabetes.

Also, protect your head – seat belts and helmets are literally a “no brainer.” Don’t forget to flex your brain muscle daily: try a crossword puzzle over TV or Sudoku over Facebook.

Fun brain facts It’s a myth that we only use 10 percent of our brain. It’s also a myth that our brain isn’t fully developed until the mid-20s.

Synaptic connections are constantly forming in the brain. Our brain prunes away neural connections that aren’t being used and forms new branches and connections throughout one’s life. It’s never too late to learn something new, form a new healthy habit, or take in new experiences.

Finally, our brain uses about 20 percent of the oxygen in our blood, so staying active is not only good for our body, it’s good for our brain, too!

EATING WELL Blueberries are plentiful in Oregon from July through September. Blueberries are known for containing antioxidants, and one serving delivers 25 percent of one’s daily requirement of Vitamin C. Vitamin C aids collagen formation and helps maintain healthy gums and capillaries and a healthy immune system. Blueberries are also an excellent source of manganese, which assists in bone development and in the conversion of proteins, carbohydrates and fats into energy.

Blueberry Sorbet Servings: 6 Ingredients 3 cups fresh or frozen blueberries, thawed ½ cup water 2 tablespoons honey 1 teaspoon lemon zest ¼ cup fresh squeezed lemon juice dash salt Preparation 1. Place all ingredients in a blender or food processor; process until smooth.

water. We encourage swimmers of all abilities to participate.

Our summer programs run from Monday June 19 through Friday, Aug. 18, and we can’t wait to see you in the pool! You can sign up at theMAC.com for any of the classes or camps, and if you have any questions, you can always contact the Aquatics Office at 503-517-5700.

Summer Swim Lessons for Every Level The summer months are here, and with them come vacation plans that often include lots of swimming. Whether your child is learning to swim for the first time, or they just need some consistent practice to hone their skills and techniques, the aquatics department can help your child enjoy their time in the water safely.

When it comes to swimming, we like to stick to the motto, “repetition equals retention,” and the summer months are a great time to put that motto into practice. Morning classes are offered in 30-minute increments from 9:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m., and classes run Monday through Thursday.

Coming every day means that skills stay fresh and children are able to improve muscle memory, thus advancing often occurs much faster. A new session starts every week, so there’s no big commitment if you have vacation or other plans; just sign up for as many of the nine weekly sessions as you’d like.

If you prefer the more traditional weekday schedule, we also offer two five-week sessions that run from 4:30-6 p.m every Tuesday and Thursday. Don’t forget, we can also always

Shake Up Your Routine With Boxing Classes Take a swing at something new and sign up for the third round of boxing group classes with personal trainer Molly Sparkman. There are three different classes offered this summer.

Boxing is a great way to improve cardio and self-confidence, and it’s an unbelievably fun stress reliever that helps increase coordination and muscle tone.

“Each training session is a total body workout. In just 10 weeks I have noticed an increase in both my endurance and strength,” said Jim Porcelli, who has participated in the first two rounds of MAC boxing classes.

“Molly makes the class fun and challenging by safely pushing you to your limits. She has the knowledge and experience to help you improve your form, whether you are a beginner or experienced boxer.”

This summer, Sparkman offers her Knockout Class, Round 2 Class and a new TRX and Boxing Core Class.

The Knockout Class includes boxing instruction, heavy-bag work, instructor mitt work, plyometrics and interval training in a dimly lit environment with fast-paced music and intensity.

Molly Sparkman Knockout Class pushes you to your limits.

Round 2 Classes are for those who are currently in the program or who have boxed before. They are also fast, dark and loud.

Round 2 will introduce defensive moves, such as slipping and parrying, and more boxingspecific cross training.

The New TRX and Boxing Core Classes are limited to six people per class and include 30 minutes of boxing and 30 minutes of TRX training.

With nearly 100 participants in the first two rounds, people are finding the MAC

ATHLETICS boxing classes are an inspiring and fun way to mix up their weekly workouts.

“I have worked out for years, but have never worked out as hard as I do in Molly’s boxing class – and come away liking it!

HANDBALL

MAC Hosts Club Exchange with LAC

The MAC Club Doubles Tournament saw spirited competition in many age and skill groups, as several players used the opportunity to prepare for the Oregon State Doubles tournament in Salem a week later. In one of the oddest moments in MAC handball, Sean Steele ended up without a partner for a scheduled Open match, but went ahead and played oneon-two anyway, winning a squeaker 21-20. His

partner eventually showed up and they played two more, winning both. Conor Casey paired up with Matt Steele to win the Open division.

Three MAC teams tied for second place in the A class – a guest team from LAC, which was included to make a round robin, took the honors. It was especially good to see the return to action of Steve Sharpe, who overcame injuries that had benched him for some time.

Another inspiration, Marty Boozer, showcased his new body after a dramatic weight loss; he was playing near the top of his game once again. Ageless Ed “Murderfist” Grossenbacher joined his long-time club partner, Bill Flowers, to win the B class, although they had to get past a spirited duo of Jon Polonsky and Tony Heiting, winning a tough tiebreaker.

Club Doubles

The best players in the world visit MAC for the annual Tournament of Champions, which merges with the John Pelham Memorial Tournament in 2017.

MAC handball players hosted a club exchange in late March with players from the Lloyd Athletic Club. Each club had four singles players and four doubles teams. MAC dominated the singles and then a decisive doubles match, with J. D. McLandrich and Sean Steele teaming up as the No. 1 doubles team to defeat Lloyd’s top team 21-4, 21-4.

It was a good thing they won this match, because LAC players won three of their doubles matches. In singles, Josh Bateman, Troy Peterson, Steve Grow and Craig Trull all won their matches. Look for other exchanges with local clubs in the weeks and months ahead.

State Doubles MAC sent five doubles teams into the Oregon State Tournament in Salem. Old reliable David Steinberg and his long-time partner Craig Trull won a combined 50-60 age group. Dave Delaney and Steve Grown came back from a first-round loss to win the 50-60 consolation bracket. Casey and Matt Steele reached a tie-breaker in the Open finals, but missed a title by just a few kill shots. Lefty Josh Bateman and Sean Steele, losing only to the eventual champs from Eugene, took third in the Open class.

Finally, Mike Steele and his partner from Salem parlayed good power and court positioning to a C Doubles title.

During the USHA National Masters, Grossenbacher continued his domination of age brackets, winning a national title in the 75+ division last week in Cincinnati, Ohio.

RACQUETBALL

Tournaments Merge for November Event MAC Racquetball and the Live Like John Foundation have announced an International Racquetball Tour stop at MAC from Friday, Nov. 30, through Monday, Dec. 3. Known as the Live Like John Tournament of Champions presented by Pro Kennex, this new event represents a merging of MAC’s perennial Pro Kennex Tournament of Champions and the one-day John Pelham Memorial Tournament MAC has hosted the past three years.

“When it became clear we needed to postpone this year’s TOC, we realized that we now had an opportunity to create a more meaningful event by combining with the Live Like John Foundation,” said MAC member Timm Locke, who has spearheaded efforts to hold the Pro Kennex Tournament of Champions the past four years.

Locke said the new event raises money for the Live Like John Foundation, a charity organization founded in memory of Spc. John Alexander Pelham, the most recent Oregonian to be killed in action. The foundation raises money that is distributed to a variety of causes, including the Green Beret Foundation, the Military Racquetball Federation and the Oregon Youth Challenge.

TABLE TENNIS You never know what kind of fun you will find at MAC’s table tennis events.

A Smashing Fifth Anniversary Event MAC Table Tennis is celebrating its five-year anniversary! All members are invited to the club for a fun afternoon of table tennis from 2-6 p.m. Saturday, June 10, in the West Gym. The event includes: fun events for all ages and levels of play, recreational and competitive play on MAC’s professional-grade tables, singles and doubles play, a challenge court, an exhibition match, and complimentary snacks and libations.

Other upcoming table tennis events include open play in the Main Gym from 6-8 p.m.

Mondays and Wednesdays, and Summer Junior Camp from 9-11 a.m. the week beginning Monday, June 19.

For further information, please see the new table tennis page at theMAC.com or contact Court Sports Manager Dan Baggett at DBaggett@themac.com or 503-517-7571.

Racquetball Continued from page 73 “John loved playing racquetball,” said Wendall Pelham, John’s father. “In his last Facebook post, four days before he was killed, John wrote ‘Can’t wait to play racquetball again.’ It was obvious to me that we should find a way use the sport to commemorate his life. That’s how the foundation came to be.”

A one-day racquetball tournament to support the foundation has been held at MAC each of the past three years, generating nearly $15,000 for the Live Like John causes. “By attaching that tournament to the TOC we can expand its reach and hopefully generate even greater success,” Pelham said.

All proceeds from the new tournament are donated to the Live Like John Foundation.

For sponsorship opportunities, contact Timm Locke at 503-806-4831.

SQUASH

Strong Finishes at U.S. Championships The MAC Squash Club Championships was a great success this year thanks to stellar organizer Logan Greer. Players spread matches out over a week and gathered for pizza and beer. See results in next month’s Winged M. In other news, MAC had a good showing at the 2017 U.S. Squash Championships. Sean Ryan took third place in the men’s 50-plus singles division and Josh Hilton took 10th in the men’s 45-plus division.

MAC is excited to offer a new Swim Team Camp this summer. The camp replaces swim team summer league. The change comes after feedback from many families who found the league to be a difficult commitment, given busy summer schedules. The camp allows parents to choose, a la carte style, weeks throughout the summer months, and gives swimmers more time each day in the program.

The new format provides campers with 10 hours per week of instruction. This allows families more flexibility throughout the season. It also means campers can spend their days at MAC between this camp and the many others offered at the club – a big bonus for working families.

The camp is a mixture of stroke instruction, dry-land bonding activities, and inwater games. Campers have an opportunity to participate in our recreation-level summer league meets at local outdoor community pools. There is a summer league championship meet around the first weekend in August that anyone who has attended camp during the summer can attend.

MAC’s swim coaches believe busy families will feel less confined by a program that spans the whole summer and gives flexibility while still providing more pool time for campers.

We hope you come join us for some fun at the pool.

From the Archives

Luke Sprunger has been cataloguing the club’s vast array of artifacts since he started working at the club in 2016.

The New Gatekeeper of MAC’s History L

uke Sprunger was appointed as the new MAC archivist last month.

Sprunger steps in for George Vogt, who will have a little more time to enjoy retirement as the new Club Historian. Vogt joined MAC in 2012 as the first archivist, serving on a volunteer basis. Sprunger joined him in 2016, and has been cataloguing the club’s vast array of artifacts. Sprunger stepped out of the club archives, housed deep in the mezzanine level, to chat.

Tell us a bit about your background.

I grew up in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and graduated from Aquinas College in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I moved to Portland in 2012 and completed my Master of Arts Degree in history in 2014 on a fellowship from the Pacific Historical Review and Portland State University. I spend a lot of time snowboarding and in the Cascades, so I’m especially fond of our historical mountaineering and skiing photos.

How did you get involved in history/archival work?

I’ve long been interested in history as a framework to explore patterns in human culture and behavior. After graduate school, I had the opportunity to draw on my researching and organizing experience to build an archives for a family from their personal collections. As I was completing this project, I joined MAC and benefitted from the

JUNE 2017

guidance of Club Archivist (now Club Historian) George Vogt – I couldn’t have asked for a more knowledgeable and patient mentor.

What’s the craziest thing you’ve come across in MAC’s archives?

One of my favorite items in the archives is a 1916 Spalding ice hockey guide. It contains the American and Canadian rules of the game at that time, and summarizes the regional hockey culture and competition in Oregon (where the MAC was the first to organize a team) as well as in cities and at colleges across the East Coast and Midwest. The guide is a window to a time when the construction of rinks and indoor arenas allowed the sport to rapidly expand to parts of the country, like the Portland area, that were too warm for regular outdoor play on frozen ponds.

Give us a historical fact about MAC that most of us don’t know.

Many members may not know that The Winged M, which began as the Winged M Bulletin in 1913, was preceded in publication by the short-lived Winged M Chat (1907-1908). Why did it cease to be published? It was too “chatty.” Members decided that the gossip featured in the Chat was better left unpublished. WM
