hat is the best thing about being a trustee?” It’s a question that I am regularly asked by members. It is also the easiest question for me to answer. Far and away the best, and most fulfilling, part of being a trustee is the D’Anne O’Neill friendships that I have VICE PRESIDENT made. That said, many of my relationships with other members and staff started long before I became a trustee. They developed when I first ventured into the committee system. The opportunities and friendships that opened up for me with that involvement will stay with me long after my term as a trustee has ended. I often hear from members who say that they come into the club, “do their thing,” and leave. For many years, that was the way I used MAC too. Then, our daughter left for college, and there was a void that needed to be filled. I recall looking at the committee interest form and thinking, “Why not?” As a member who primarily used the athletic areas of the club, I remember walking into my first committee meeting, not recognizing anyone, and almost turning around at the door. But before I could do so, a member approached me and, with warmth and appreciation, guided me through that first meeting. That was the beginning of very fulfilling work as part of the MAC committee system. I have learned so much during my years of committee service — skills that have served me well both in my MAC life, and in life outside the club. But without a doubt, I’m most grateful for the the friendships I have made. It may sound trite, but some of my best

friends truly are people I have met serving on committees. Our shared interest in MAC was a starting point, but over time, other commonalities emerged. We share MAC traditions such as attending the annual Holiday Fashion Show, celebrating birthdays and anniversaries, watching Timbers and Thorns matches from the Stadium Terrace, and standing in the back row of a variety of group exercise classes. During the recent member survey, more than 2,500 members shared their perspectives on the club. We also conducted focus groups, which included 37 members of various ages and at different stages of life and membership tenure. The Board of Trustees and Executive Leadership Team are committed to making data-driven decisions for the club’s future that take into consideration both the present and future needs of the membership. As the holiday season quickly approaches, when we are each often pulled in multiple directions, I hope you can take the time to consider becoming involved in the committee system. It doesn’t have to be a big time commitment. Pick an area that you are interested in and get involved. Committee applications are available on Thursday, Nov. 1, and the deadline for completion is Monday, Dec. 31. The application process can be completed online, or there are hard copies available through At Your Service. Please take a moment to visit the fantastic, revamped MAC website and review the committee options, learn more about the opportunities that area available, and see what the best fit might be for you. The club would not be the amazing place that it is without the hard work and dedication of its members. And if you are as lucky as I have been, you might learn something new and make some friends along the way! I wish you and your family a holiday season filled with love and wonderful memories.

The Board of Trustees has approved the 2018 Holiday Fund, in which eligible employees (everyone who was employed as of Jan. 1, 2018, except the general manager) receive an annual bonus, allocated based on years of service and accumulated hours of service during the past 12 months. Since 2003, members have generously funded this program to show their appreciation for the staff who make their club experiences so special. Charges appear on members’ November statements in the amounts of $44 for senior family members and $34 for senior members.

he value of a brand is exceedingly important in this day and age. As we walk around supermarkets, we see every branding opportunity imaginable, and brands have partnered with one another to create more valuable Norm Rich branding opportuGENERAL MANAGER nities. The MAC is no different. Our Executive Leadership Team often partners with staff and members to make our programs and services — our brand — more successful. We try to add value to your membership in a thoughtful manner. With added services sometimes come additional costs. We try to keep dues as reasonable as we can, but are always challenged to balance wants and needs with practicing financial excellence. Our membership has been flat for more than 20 years (through a targeted, not-tobe-exceeded member head count), but club usage has been increasing between two and three percent annually. I believe this increase confirms that members are more often finding value in the club.

How do members and staff partner for the greater good of the overall brand? As staff and committees make budgets every year, I am reminded of the complexity of our club, with dozens of sports, hundreds of camps and classes, four restaurants and a bar, a robust catering business, and social and event committees that sponsor dozens of events every year. Rather than creating greater value for a particular sport or activity, how do members and staff partner for the greater good of the overall brand? The Board and our Executive Leadership Team are partnering — with input from the committee system — to create a strategic plan that takes the greater good of the club

into consideration. This will not be easy, nor will everyone be fully satisfied, but it should make MAC a more valuable and delightful place for members. I often hear from our membership how we (staff) have positively impacted their experiences. Just this week, a member told me about how the club has saved and extended his life. A mother told me that the Playschool has positively changed her child’s life. Another member told me how impressed they are with At Your Service: “They own my question.” We are making good and steady progress on collecting data and learning more about what our members want in their future. We engaged consultants to survey our membership; we’ve brought together focus groups; and transportation experts are studying our current parking challenges and making recommendations for our future. Architects and athletic experts will begin conversations about future investments in our basement level. Based on this year’s member survey, at the top of the list will be how to create more studios to accommodate more group exercise classes at more memberfriendly times. We also will have a member satisfaction survey during the first quarter next year to understand what we do well and what we can improve upon. I am thankful for my association with this club, its members and staff. As of early next year, I will have had the honor of serving our membership for 12 years. I am also thankful to have the opportunity to be with Valerie and our three children at Thanksgiving this year! Our time together will be short, but the togetherness will be meaningful and loving. We will be joined by my mother, Val’s brothers and sister, and their children. I cannot think of better family time. I hope you will take the opportunity to make the most of your time with family and friends over Thanksgiving. We will celebrate a traditional Thanksgiving meal here at the club, as well as offering fully cooked turkeys and all the fixings to enjoy at home. The club is open for you to exercise in anticipation of a great meal or as payback and compliments to your chef or ours. Happy Thanksgiving!

For the ultimate anniversary

FACES IN THE CLUB MAC member Lara Tennant won the USGA U.S. Senior Women’s Amateur Championship in Vero Beach, Florida, on Oct. 11. The mother of five has been playing golf since she was 10 years old, but decided not to pursue a professional career in the interest of being a mom. She never stopped playing or loving golf, though, and has been competing in amateur tournaments since 1983. She earned a golf scholarship to the University of Arizona, and her sister coached golf at University of Oregon. As if that wasn’t proof enough of her family’s commitment to golf, Tennant’s dad, George Mack, served as her caddie throughout the week leading up to her victory. Mack has, himself, played in five USGA championships, including the 1990 U.S. Senior Open. Accounting for the usual match-play concessions, Tennant was even par over 16 holes on Thursday, and runner up Sue Wooster finished at 3 over par.

New Member Services Specialist Josiah Merkel marches to the beat of his own drum. The Oregon State University alum and Kinesiology student had to give up his drum set when he first went to college, but now that he’s done with school and gainfully employed, he’s hoping to bring that beat back. His musical inspirations run from jazz to rock to reggae, but his favorite band right now is Angels & Airwaves. “The music is focused on themes surrounding the human experience, such as love, joy, pain and anxiety,” he says. “This combined with the band’s alternative/atmospheric rock backdrop creates feelings of inspiration, hope and introspection for me.” In his current position, he’ll have plenty of opportunities to share both joy and inspiration with members. Another thing that inspires him is the cuisine of his birthplace, New Mexico. Having lived in Oregon most of his life, he loves both states, but gives the edge to the food of the former. “Even if you don’t like the heat, go for the food!

Not every MAC member would be willing to put his or her membership on hold to contribute to the betterment of the club, but that’s exactly what Matt Abraham did. The new Technology Director brings more than 25 years of experience in the tech industry as a leader aligning IT strategy to business goals. His most recent undertaking was with the Craft Brew Alliance, where he created the kind of technological infrastructure for which MAC strives. A Portland native, Abraham lives with his daughter, who will graduate this year from Jesuit High School, and Ollie, a brown tabby kitten they recently adopted from the Humane Society. He spends his off hours remodeling their house, trying to find tabbouleh as good as his mom’s, and practicing his boogie-woogie piano skills. He’s also part of the John Foundation, which gives to Catholic charities.

2013 MAC Scholar Athlete Cameron Scarlett is making the most of his senior season at Stanford University. Scarlett has three rushing touchdowns for the Cardinal, and had his best performance of the year in game against Arizona State in late October, when he rushed nine times for 54 yards. Scarlett got a critical third-quarter touchdown that was the winning score in the 20-13 victory. The Central Catholic graduate, who is majoring in Science, Technology and Society, has an interesting history at Stanford. His brother, Brennan, who currently plays for the Houston Texans, is the only football player to play for both Stanford and Cal. His grandfather, John V. Evans, attended Stanford before becoming governor of Idaho, a post he held from 1977-1987.

Delivery Angels O

n Nov. 22, instead of cooking their own Thanksgiving dinner, the Esmer family and their “delivery angels” will gather once again in the Turnaround and load multiple vehicles with MAC Turkey To-Go meals. They then divide and conquer, traveling around the city bringing hot Thanksgiving dinners, ready to be served, to women who are undergoing treatment for breast cancer and their families. It all started in 2001, when the Esmers faced their own encounter with cancer. “We wanted to celebrate Thanksgiving and enjoy dinner just like any other year,”

says Samantha Esmer. “But the aggressive effects of chemotherapy and a compromised immune system made leaving home for dinner impossible. And cooking a Thanksgiving dinner while undergoing treatment felt too tiring.” The Esmers had seen the Thanksgiving to-go offering mentioned in The Winged M and thought it to be a great way to enjoy the spoils of Thanksgiving. “As usual, MAC did not disappoint,” recalls Samantha. “The process for picking up the meal was seamless — a quick spin around the Turnaround with MAC staff on the ready to load boxes of prepared food into our car. Once home, we sat at the dinner table and enjoyed the delicious feast. With that meal, we almost forgot about the struggles that cancer imposed upon our family for the holiday.” Ertan Esmer, a practicing otolaryngologist in Portland, said to his wife, “We should do this next year for other families in the same situation.” And so began a new Esmer family Thanksgiving tradition. Working directly with Compass Oncology and Providence, the Esmers receive a list of breast cancer patients undergoing treatment, who are gifted the meals. They both feel that the bigger gift

beyond the food is the ability to serve as a support system to the women and their families. “After all, we were in their shoes too,” adds Samantha. “The first year, with MAC kindly allowing us to purchase additional meals for the program, we were able to provide meals to 10 breast cancer patients and their families,” notes Samantha. “The meals were so well received, that those recipients volunteered to help deliver meals the following year after completing their treatment.” And that pattern has continued over the past seven years, adding new volunteers each year as the program has grown. Volunteers often bring their spouses or other family members who supported them in their journey to help deliver the meals. “Cancer happens to the entire family,” says Dr. Esmer. “When delivering meals, we found that family members of the recipients find comfort in talking with others who have lived through the process, as well.” This year, the Esmers and their delivery angels, will take more than 25 meals to breast cancer patients with help from the Multnomah Athletic Club’s culinary team. The Esmers’ philosophy: “As long as they keep cooking, we’ll keep delivering!”

A Post 58 student returns to basecamp in Canada’s Selkirk Mountains after a long day of climbing.

MULTNOMAH ATHLETIC FOUNDATION

Impact Award Winner Reaches New Heights T here’s a reason people flock to the mountain summits, wild rivers and rugged coastlines of the Pacific Northwest. An outdoor adventure can be a transformative experience. But those excursions are often out of reach for people who might reap the biggest benefits from them. That’s where Post 58 steps in. The Portland-based nonprofit recently launched an effort to get homeless youth, foster children and kids from underserved communities outdoors, taking them on trips that range from a simple hike to a trek to the summit of Mount St. Helens. “These kids might not know what they can achieve; then they realize they can climb Mount St. Helens,” says Executive Director Peter Green. “The power of these opportunities for personal development and growth are limitless. Post 58 is the recipient of the Multnomah Athletic Foundation’s 2018 Impact Award.

25 years of outdoor leadership While helping underserved kids is an expanding part of Post 58’s mission, for the past 25 years they’ve been helping youth from all backgrounds get outside and learn leadership skills. At first glance, the organization might look like a typical outdoor adventure club. It’s not. For one thing, it’s run by student members. There is exactly one paid employee, and 14- to 18-year olds from across the region make decisions on which trips to take while organizing their own fundraising efforts. Post 58 is also, relatively speaking, affordable. Student members can summit Mount Hood under the tutelage of an experienced guide for the cost of food and gas, about $55. Outfitters charge as much as $800. That’s because the organization’s guides are all volunteers. About half of them are Post 58 alumni who come back as adults to guide trips. The organization is also inclusive. There are 120 students from 24 area high schools who are members, and scholarships are available to students who cannot afford the annual membership fee. Once they join, students find a space where they’re encouraged to set challenging goals and push their limits, both outside and

during monthly meetings. During a typical meeting, for example, a student might recite a poem or play music to build their confidence. “High school can be tough. You’re often feeling a little vulnerable, and you’re always trying to protect yourself,” Green says. “We’ve had kids tell us that when they joined, it was the first time they’ve felt accepted for who they are.”

Unique opportunities Getting underserved youth outside isn’t easy, but Post 58 makes it happen by partnering with nonprofit organizations like p:ear and Janus Youth Programs, which mentor homeless kids. Those hikers are not required to join Post 58 to participate. “We meet them on their own turf,” Green says. “Our goal is to get them outdoors.” For groups like p:ear, Post 58 offers a valuable experience with trained experts at no cost. That’s a rarity. During those hikes with homeless youth, Post 58 always brings a few of its older members in the hopes of creating a positive connection. Green believes that putting kids from different backgrounds together in the outdoors levels the playing field, and might help a homeless kid realize her own potential. “Post 58 collaborated with p:ear to climb Mt. St. Helens. There were both Post students and p:ear youth on the trip. On the way down from the summit, one of our guides had a chance to speak with one of the p:ear youth,” Green says. “He said his parents kicked him out of his home when he was 14. While they walked together, he expressed that because of the excitement, fear, joy and love he experienced on the mountain, he was planning on calling his mom with the hope of re-establishing a relationship with her.” —Tony Roberts u The Multnomah Athletic Foundation’s Impact Award recognizes the positive impact of a nonprofit organization through its support of youth, athletic participation and community collaboration.

CLUB NEWS Get Involved at MAC — Join a Committee Fill out a committee interest form by the end of the year to join the committee system

AC is driven by its active committee system and joining a committee is one of the best ways to get involved with the club. From budget issues to familyfriendly parties, committees have a hand in virtually everything that happens at the club. MAC’s committee system is made up of eight standing committees, seven event committees, and 24 sport committees. MAC’s committee system is open to young, old, new, and lifelong members. Adult resident members may apply for any committee except the Junior Events Committee, which is restricted to junior members in the eigth grade and younger. Courtesy and athletic members may serve on committees, but not as chair. Committee members work side-byside with professional staff and member coaches to plan and carry out policies and programs. The leadership, expertise, and camaraderie shared by committees creates a unique community spirit. Participants must commit the time and energy necessary to be a responsible committee member. Some committees look for members with specific qualifications or prior committee experience. Members do not need a reference to serve on a committee.

Standing Committees Standing committees are defined by the club bylaws and report directly to the Board of Trustees. Event committees report to the Member Events Committee, and sport committees report to the Athletic

Committee. Committees work in partnership with staff. The eight standing committees are: Athletic, Budget and Finance, Communications, Diversity Admissions, House, Member Events, Membership, and Property.

Sport Committees Sport committees represent the voice of members in athletic activities. Through committee meetings and other input, these committees communicate to staff and the Athletic Committee the needs and desires of participating membership. In addition, the committees convey policies and promote athletic activities to participants. All sport committees report to the Athletic Committee. The 24 sport committees are: Basketball, Cycling, Dance, Early Birds, Exercise and Decathlon, Golf, Gymnastics, Handball, Karate, Outdoor Activities, Pilates, Racquetball, Ski, Squash, Studio Fitness, Swim, Synchro, Tennis, Triathlon and Running, Volleyball, Walking & Hiking, Water Fitness, Water Volleyball, and Yoga.

Event Committees Event committees, also known as activity committees, represent the voice of members in MAC social activities. Through meetings and other input, these committees express to staff and the Member Events Committee the needs and desires of participating membership. In addition, the committees communicate club policies and promote social activities to participants. The event committees plan certain activities, provide volunteer help or event preparation, and give ideas and volunteers to prepare for and assist at events. A Member Events Committee liaison attends meetings to serve as the communications link between the Board of Trustees and the event committees. The seven event committees are: 20s/30s, Balladeers, Culture & Style, Family Events, Holiday Decorating, MelloMacs, and Social Activities. u Submit a committee interest form (Available from At Your Service or at theMAC.com) to the Executive Office by Monday, Dec. 31.

In Memoriam Hans H. Grunbaum, D.V.M. June 16, 1932-Sept. 23, 2018 Hans Grunbaum died peacefully at home on Sunday, Sept. 23, after experiencing a decline in health from a stroke 11 months earlier. Family and friends can take comfort knowing Hans lived a rich life and passed peacefully on the autumnal equinox, during the harvest moon, on the eve of his pinot grapes being picked. Born June 16, 1932, Hans settled in Portland in 1937 after escaping Nazi Germany with his family. He attended Lincoln High School, Reed College and Washington State University, where he earned his doctor of veterinary medicine degree and was a proud member of Beta Theta Pi fraternity. After graduating, Hans served as an officer in the Coast Guard, and then began a veterinary practice that spanned 50 years. He was known for his unwavering compassion — particularly if you had four legs and a tail. Hans met Marilyn Klein in the summer of 1963 while she was visiting from Los Angeles. Quickly smitten, they married four months later and raised two sons. The youngest,

Michael, was tragically lost at the age of nine to a drunk driver, but left many unforgettable memories in his short life. Eric, who lives in California, was a continual source of pride. For the past 50 years, Hans and Marilyn lived on the same beautiful rural property on Sherwood’s Chehalem Mountain, in the “Northwest Regional” modern home that they commissioned. Initially, they bred and raced thoroughbred horses, and then planted an expansive vineyard of pinot noir and pinot gris grapes in the 1980s. Hans took great pleasure in being outdoors, maintaining the land, and tending to his vegetable garden. Hans’ love for physical activity also included skiing with his family, as well as playing tennis, squash and handball with his good friends at the Multnomah Athletic Club. When Hans didn’t have a game, he could be found in the club’s fitness room — often exercising his mouth as he socialized with pals; Hans was an outgoing and opinionated conversationalist. Hans and Marilyn travelled extensively, but annually returned to their favorite spots:

Zihuatanejo, Mexico, to bask in the sun, and Sun Valley, Idaho, to enjoy the skiing. Hans generously contributed to his community, serving on many boards, including the Oregon Zoo, Oregon Veterinary Medical Association, Portland Veterinary Medical Association, Washington County Board of Health, and Dove Lewis Emergency Veterinary Hospital — of which he was a founding benefactor. He practiced his faith at Congregation Beth Israel. Hans is survived by his wife, Marilyn; son Eric (Eliah Perona); and four-legged companion, Sigi. His inquisitive and keen mind, endless stories, wonderful sense of humor and strong love will be missed. Per Hans’ wishes, there will be no memorial service. Instead, please hold Hans in your thoughts, and enjoy the many indelible memories he left — preferably with a glass of Oregon wine in hand. Donations in his memory can be made to Doctors Without Boarders, Guide Dogs for the Blind, Cedar Sinai Park, and the Oregon Ballet Theatre.

JARED GRAWROCK

MAC Sous Chef Deanna Bascom relaxes with a beer after brewing.

The Epic of Gilgamesh Brewing MAC sous chef flips the script on Nov. 15 beer dinner by brewing the guest of honor By Jake Ten Pas

he word epic gets thrown around a lot, often to describe things that clearly have nothing to do with “narrating the deeds and adventures of heroic or legendary figures.” No matter how good Taco Bell tastes at 2 a.m., by definition it isn’t epic. On the surface, it might be tempting to accuse Gilgamesh Brewing of similar hyperbole. To name a company after not just any epic, but the epic that started them all, is a bold stroke. Unless the brewery was started by a half human, half beast in defiance of a goddess, surely this must be another example of language gone wrong. Or is it? Turns out, the same Sumerian culture that gave the world Gilgamesh also might have given it beer. Even if they didn’t invent it, the Epic of Gilgamesh and other poems of the period celebrated it, likely spreading the thirst for fermented grain farther, faster than any other work of its time.

South of Salem Chances are, beer would have found its way to the Radtke clan even without the Epic of Gilgamesh. Growing up near Enchanted Forest in the wilds of Turner, three brothers — Matt, Mike and Nick Radtke — decided to get into homebrewing because it was legal to buy the ingredients of beer before they turned 21. What started as a science project in their dad’s furniture-making shop has grown into a 17-barrel brewhouse nestled unassumingly

into an industrial area in south Salem. A hallway connects the warehouse where the beer is made with a pub serving food that’s far more than an excuse for another pint to wash it down. Over the course of a day, I’ll traverse that hallway many times to see first-hand how Gilgamesh’s beer is made. While this story might not qualify as epic, its protagonists can definitely be toasted as heroes by anyone who enjoys an expertly crafted beverage.

The Epic of GilgeMAC “What business have you, MAC copywriter, spending a workday at a brewery?” you may ask. I was there at the invitation of Sous Chef Deanna Bascom, who is collaborating with Gilgamesh to bring club members something extra special for November’s beer dinner and tap takeover. Normally, it’s the MAC culinary team’s mission to create dishes that pair well with the featured brews, but this time around, a chef will have a hand in the brewing itself. Before we sit down to lunch at the pub, Deanna will have milled, mashed, lautered and pressed 200 pounds of grain, sending it off to boil for a bit before the hops can be added. All of this is made possible by a state-of-the-art system that connects and coordinates the appropriate tanks, filters and machinery through a touch-screen computer interface. It’s a far cry from the low-tech seven barrels of repurposed dairy equipment — and sheer force of gravity — with which Gilgamesh started. Gone are Continued on page 25

CULINARY Gilgamesh Continued from page 22 the days of lighting the brewhouse with a blowtorch, and those original barrels are now used to maintain the adventurous spirit upon which the company was founded by brewing sour beers. “There were no plans to turn it into a business at first,” says co-owner and sales and marketing head Matt Radtke. “We used what we now refer to as ‘Gilgametrics,’ or roughly ‘that much.’” He pinches his fingers together to convey a loose measurement. Matt points out that one of the brewery’s most popular beers, Mamba, came about because of a “happy accident.” When the UPS guy didn’t show with their hops, the brothers were forced to raid their mom’s kitchen. They found a couple of bags of Cuties, or tangerines, and a stash of Earl Grey tea. “Why not?” they asked, and a local classic was born. “We’ve gotten known for doing some more experimental things,” Matt says. “But we also try to stay true to our motto of ‘A Beer for Everyone.’”

No Accident When Deanna and I arrive at 10 a.m., Matt and Mike share with us Gilgamesh’s history, pointing out that their company logo is derived from the first symbol for beer. What resembles an arrowhead is actually a pictogram for an early fermentation tank. The inverted pyramid shape allowed sediment to settle at the bottom, and thirsty brewers to drink directly from the top. It also serves as a metaphor for Gilgamesh’s steady expansion, which has seen the brewery’s product spread to markets up and down the Willamette Valley. Observant alcohol aficionados may find six packs of Mamba at Plaid Pantry, and 22-ounce bottles at Fred Meyer. That growth has led to a number of pairings with Portland restaurants as part of Gilgamesh’s Chef Series, including the Pok Pok Rhubarb Som Shandy and the Shalom Y’all Turkish Coffee Stout. A chance encounter with MAC’s culinary staff at the Skyway Tavern in Zig Zag after the Wild About Game dinner last year led to their next great creation. No Sleep Till Portland IPA is what Deanna is making today, and nothing about the process is left to chance. Gilgamesh brewer Harley Firestone acts as our guide, explaining the process and keeping an eye on Deanna as she hits her cues. He looks a bit like a cross between actors

JARED GRAWROCK

Chris Pratt and Robert Shaw, in Jaws, with a scar running down the right side of his chin where he was hit in the jaw by a fourinch metal cap while working in the pressurized gas business. It’s all I can do not to say, “We’re going to need a bigger tank!” Fortunately, Deanna is focused on the task at hand, which sees her milling a mix of white and Vienna wheat, to which is added acidulated and pilsner malt. The grains travel through a series of tubes to the mashtun, where they are mixed with hot water. This mixture is then sent through a press, which Matt describes as being like a “French press,” compared to the “conventional coffee method” many breweries use. With it, Gilgamesh is able to wring 97-percent efficiency out of the grain. What’s left over resembles sawdust, and this is distributed to local farmers for their cows’ chewing pleasure. Once the mixture has been pressed, it is boiled and whirled, and as we wait to add in the hops that will give the beer its bright, fruity flavor, it’s time to break for lunch.

Beer Is Food Harley says it best. “Beer and food have a lot in common. I love them both, and both are sciences.” While watching Deanna in the brewery, it’s easy to see the science part of that equation, but the “love” aspect of beer is invariably better appreciated in the drinking. Gathered on Gilgamesh’s tree-lined back porch, the sound of a creek burbling along grassy banks just feet away, Matt outlines the trays of tasters he’s set before us. There’s the Pok Pok Shandy, Mamba,

DJ Jazzy Hef, Terry Porter, Fresh Prince Fresh Hop IPA, and Hopscotch Ale. The beers run the gamut from pale amber to burnt orange to black coffee, but all the flavors are welcoming despite my personal distaste for overly hopped beers. Deanna is writing furiously in a notebook, kicking up a dust devil of observations about the beer and ideas for her upcoming dinner. In between sips, she pauses to comment on what excites her about today’s field trip. “This is a blast,” she says. “To have a super knowledgeable brewer who’s also so willing to share his space with us, not to mention owners who are extremely generous by nature, it makes for a lot of fun.” Deanna appreciates Gilgamesh’s philanthropy, which takes the form of donating proceeds from the Terry Porter and Chef’s Series to Doernbecher Children’s Hospital and other local charities. She’s eager to create dishes to pair with such disparate beer flavors, and thinks the Hopscotch will go nicely with wild game. It’s robust, with caramel notes and high alcohol content, making it perfect for the big flavors of boar. Deanna imagines the Terry Porter playing nicely with a roasted vegetable dish, likely with a winter squash component, and says a coffee spice rub would complement the similar flavors in the dark, chocolatey beer. Likewise, a lighter seafood will be cast in a supporting role to the DJ Jazzy Hef, and grapefruit and rosemary flavors will pair well with the No Sleep Till Portland IPA.

MAC

H O L I D AY M E M ORI ES The Winged M asked members to share favorite memories of MAC holiday traditions.

Wreath Decorating with Grandma

don’t think I have a more amusing holiday memory than that of my grandmother at the MAC wreath making last year. She was enthusiastic and excited at the prospect of meeting new people and creating a beautiful pine-scented piece to adorn her door for the holidays. As a more naturally social individual than I, my grandmother immediately set off chatting while I set off working. I was awed that she spoke with such ease, while making a wreath consumed all my attention. How did she manage to keep working amid the meeting and greeting? As I looked with admiration on her ability to converse and create, I realized there was no “and” about it. While my grandma spoke to each in turn, she broke the ice by asking for assistance with her wreath. The event ended with her in possession of a wreath without having actually engaged in the making. Although she didn’t appreciate me pointing this out, it was clear she knew exactly what had transpired. I’ll always love that memory — a piece made by many hands, the fruits of budding friendships, the result of unintentional collaboration from unsuspecting people. It was beautiful, and oh so classic grandma.

Christmas Tree Tour

woke up at an ungodly hour last winter morning to drive to MAC with my mother. The only thing that could possibly motivate such uncharacteristic behavior — a willingness to brave the cold and the dark enthusiastically — was the simple magic of Christmas. We met with a MAC walking posse to peruse the hotel lobbies of downtown Portland, and immersed ourselves in the quiet majesty of holiday lights and decor. It’s amazing how the cold doesn’t seem to bite quite so harshly with that attitude. Christmas lights seem to work beyond simple electricity and glass and plastic to generate the intangible magic that only exists at this time of year, when you’re surrounded by loving souls and the people you care about. The Christmas trees that adorn Portland continue to inspire me and offer my heart a little warmth as the weather starts to turn cold again. —Mary Helen Mack

125th Anniversary Holiday Open House

MAC Synchro Team Shares Favorite Traditions

wo years ago, while serving as MAC president, I had the privilege of participating in the annual tree-lighting ceremony. It was the club’s 125th anniversary, so it felt extra special. My role had me working with Joey Olsen — the winner of the Candy Corn Counting Contest. Joey’s guess of 1,632 pieces was only off by 14 pieces. Impressive! As the MelloMacs led the audience in a rousing 125 Years of MAC to the tune of The 12 Days of Christmas, characters entered the stage for each verse. The 10th year was a ballet dancer, the 20th year was a firefighter, the 30th year was a tennis player, and so on. When we finally reached the 125th year, Joey and I carried out a locker signifying the remodel of the Women’s Locker Room. We struggled because the thing was astonishingly heavy. We looked at each other with a sigh of relief after almost dropping it! Then we lit the tree and all the characters on stage and members in the audience sang Jingle Bells. It was a warm and happy event that I recall fondly. —Janice Marquis

"The gingerbread house decorating and the festivities." —Mckenna

Holiday Tea

or the last few years, I have been taking my little girl to Holiday Tea to meet Mrs. Claus, eat tiny sandwiches, drink tea and nosh on sweet treats. It has become a tradition that we both look forward to. We get dressed up, and sometimes we dress alike. (That’s my idea, and I know in a few years dressing alike will not be an option.) Part of our ritual includes picking out special jewelry to wear. I get out my long string of pearls and other special jewelry that my mom has given me over the years. Bailey gets to pick something special to wear. I always take this time to tell her a story about how each treasure became mine, and why it’s special. We compliment one another and talk in our best fancy accents on the way to MAC. The anticipation builds as we stand in line to meet Mrs. Claus. She never disappoints, and regales us with stories about her pet rabbit and reminds us of how busy she’s been lately. The staff at 1891 always seems especially interested in the little people showing up, and they treat my little girl like their most important patron. After we sit down, they tell us about the special treats being served, and our tea options. Once we have eaten to our hearts content, and slipped away from the table a few times to talk with Mrs. Claus, the waiter boxes up the last few treats, and we bring them home to share with dad and brother, talking with fancy accents the whole way home. A MAC holiday tradition indeed. —Tanny Schones-Johnson

“The tree-lighting ceremony. It makes it feel like Christmas.” —Emma “The Christmas carolers and the holiday display.” —Hailey “When MAC decorates for the holidays, it makes me excited for the party, dressing up and exchanging presents.” —Devin “The decorations and fun activities at practice like wearing holiday theme socks in the pool.” —Grace “Going to the Turnaround after synchro practice, finding hot chocolate with fancy straws that I shared with my friends.” —Zoe “The Christmas tree and the lights make it feel super special and inviting!” —Ella “I appreciate all the hard work of the volunteers that make the holidays so festive.” —Cambell “Christmas decorations around the MAC. We usually go there for Thanksgiving buffet.” —Clara “Secret Santa tradition of buying a gift for someone you don’t know.” —Elizabeth “Exchanging of gifts at the MAC Synchro holiday party.” —Sophia “I really like the holiday gift exchange, the activities make synchro feel like a family.” —Presley “The holiday dinner with my team.” —Amanda

This is Greta Cost (age 4) at last year’s Children’s Holiday Party. We have taken a Santa picture every year, although this may have been our first at MAC. It will be our new tradition now! So much more fun than going to the mall. She was over the moon! —Sandra Cost

Thyroid – Your Master Metabolizer W

hen diet and exercise don’t result in desired weight loss, the answer may be a thyroid malfunction. The thyroid is a small gland located in the neck that releases two hormones into virtually every cell in the body, converting oxygen and calories into energy. These T4 and T3 hormones can either rev up your metabolism or slow it down. Because the thyroid affects every cell in the body, the symptoms of low thyroid function are far-reaching. In addition to the inability to lose or gain weight, other symptoms may include fatigue, sensitivity to cold, constipation, dry skin, hair loss, brittle nails, puffy face, hoarseness, muscle weakness, elevated cholesterol, joint pain or swelling, numbness or tingling in the hands, abnormal menstrual cycles, depression, slow heart rate and impaired memory. In the USA, Hashimoto’s disease, which is an autoimmune condition, is the number one cause of hypothyroidism. Since it is an autoimmune condition, standard thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) testing does not diagnosis the majority of these cases. If your TSH is normal, but you have a family history of thyroid

disease or you have numerous hypothyroid symptoms, ask your primary care doctor for a full thyroid panel including thyroid antibodies. I also recommend a full review of your medications with your physician, since some can interfere with proper thyroid functioning. Those medications could include beta blockers like Atenolol, birth control pills, estrogen, lithium, antiepileptic drugs like phenytoin, and theophylline. Deficiencies in certain nutrients like iodine, iron, selenium, zinc, vitamin A, riboflavin, pyridoxine and B12 can also affect proper thyroid hormone function. Once the cause of thyroid dysfunction is discovered, your physician can determine the most beneficial course of treatment, which could include vitamins, minerals, compounded hormones or pharmaceutical drugs. For more detailed information on your thyroid and treatment options, I invite you to attend my free lecture at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 14.

EATING WELL

Civil War Blood Drive

What’s Good for the Gourd Winter squash is a good source of beta-carotene, vitamin C, potassium and fiber. The seeds — roasted or dried — are a great snack and a good source of protein and magnesium, among other nutrients. One of my favorites is butternut squash, which can be enjoyed year-round roasted or tossed into soup, stew or smoothies. If I make a squash soup, I often roast the seeds and add them to the soup right before serving to give it an added crunch. I like the following recipe as both a savory breakfast and dinner side dish.

Becoming Mindful of the Pelvic Floor 1:15-3 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 15 Team Training Room Pelvic floor muscles deserve just as much attention as other muscle groups, such as abdominals and glutes. The “move it or lose it” mantra applies just as much, if not more, to the pelvic floor.

Rosemary Roasted Butternut Squash Serves: 6 Prep time: 20 minutes Cook time: 45-50 minutes Ingredients 1 butternut squash 3 cloves of garlic 3 sprigs of rosemary (fresh sage is an alternative) Olive oil (enough to coat the squash) Sea salt Preparation 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 C). 2. Peeling and cutting the squash is the most daunting and time-consuming part of the process. Make sure you have a sharp knife and vegetable peeler and stable cutting board. First cut off the ends of the squash, then peel, making sure to go deep

These muscles act as a sling to support internal organs and work with other muscle groups to create a healthy, functioning body. However, they are seldom used properly, resulting in a weakening that causes things like back and sacroiliac (or SI) joint pain and hip instability. A healthy pelvic floor can help avoid issues such as incontinence, prolapse and leakage. It can also help with preparation for childbirth, as well as postpartum recovery. Using the pelvic floor properly increases strength in, and positively impacts, musculoskeletal, urinary, reproductive and digestive health.

enough to remove the entire skin. Cut the squash in half lengthwise, discard the seeds, and cut the squash into cubes. 3. Chop the garlic and rosemary together. (I highly recommend this.) 4. Place squash cubes in a bowl and mix with garlic, rosemary, olive oil, and salt until well coated. 5. Spread mixture into a large baking dish or on a cooking sheet. 6. Bake in preheated oven until squash is caramelized and golden brown, 45 to 50 minutes. (I check the squash periodically throughout the baking process and often times flip the pieces.) Nutritional Facts (per serving): calories 125, fat 4g, carbohydrates 20g, protein 2g —Tysen Christensen, MS, RD, CPT

Pilates and yoga instructor Mandee Louie has created a workshop to enhance pelvic floor awareness that can benefit anyone from body builders to running moms, and the aging can benefit. In addition to learning proper engagement, participants explore pelvic floor anatomy and participate in a gentle sequence of Pilates and yoga exercises specifically designed to strengthen this key muscle group. The cost is $65. Register at theMAC.com. Space is limited space; this workshop often sells out. WE514

SQUASH

Strategic Sweat: Squash Is a Game for Body and Mind Junior program pushes young people to new heights in competition and life By Jake Ten Pas

f the game of squash is, as some have said, like playing chess at 200 miles per hour, teaching kids to play squash might require a good coach to move at least 201 miles per hour. For program manager and head pro Ashley Read, the high-speed analysis, strength and course correction necessary to excel in the game also are needed to impart its essentials to the disparate next generation of players. “There are many different levels within our program. We’re not all about elite kids who are going to Ivy League schools. We’ve got kids who are just playing socially and kids who are brand new to the game,” he explains. “Sometimes I’ve got a big lesson planned, but then I read the room and I’m like, ‘Oh they’ve had a weird day at school’ or I’m like, ‘This is not going to work today.’ So, I have to switch gears. I’m passionate, so I want to give my best, and I expect these kids to give their best.” Read’s adaptability on the fly allowed him to compete professionally in Europe before transitioning to a career in coaching, but it’s also served him equally well since then. He holds the England Squash Level 4 coaching certificate, widely recognized as the highest qualification in the field. This dual expertise on either side of the glass that divides the court from the gallery serves MAC’s junior players well.

62 | The Wınged M |

NOVEMBER 2018

“There’s a lot to be learned from losing,” Read says. “I played a million matches in my time, and when I lost I always knew where I lost, and then I’d go back to my club and I’d train. You should be able to ask any of the kids that I coach regularly their strengths and weaknesses. They should be able to wrap that up pretty quick and understand what they should be working on in their game at any given time.” Another part of the culture Read has worked to build at MAC revolves around being humble and willing to share your experience and talents with the next generation of players. “I love it when the better kids give back to the lower-level kids. I instill at an early age that just because you’re a good player, you’re not so good on the court that you can’t hit around with the next kid.”

Programming the Next Generation Kaz Malhotra isn’t particularly interested in building a robot that could play squash. The Catlin Gabel sixth grader is involved with the school’s STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math), or STEAM (add Art), program, and will be taking his love of robotics to the competitive level. But when asked whether the world will ever see a squash-playing bot, he shrugs it off. “If you’re just watching a video of someone playing squash, it’s definitely not obvious, but if they have their shoulder really turned,

ATHLETICS

Alec Spiro (front in left photo); (left to right) Adrian Schulman, Owen Simpson and Kaz Malhotra. you can tell what they’re going to do. If they have their elbow up, they’re going to hit it hard. There’s a lot of factors that go into hitting a shot,” he says. “I think you could program a robot to look for those factors since a robot can multitask better than we can. I don’t think it’s practical, but it’s possible.” Malhotra doesn’t necessarily see learning the game of squash as a form of programming, but listening to him talk expansively about both its strategy and execution, it’s hard not to see the structure of Read’s code behind his dexterous displays. “A lot of things are either cognitive or athletic. One of the reasons why I like squash is it mixes the two of them,” he says. “Sure, it’s more athletic than it is cognitive, but squash is definitely one of the more cognitive sports. There is a lot of strategy that goes into soccer, but I feel like in squash there’s more fast decision making and there’s also an equal amount of long-term strategy.” “I talk about three areas,” Read outlines a few days later. “There’s the hitting, so the control of where you put the ball. There’s the movement and the fitness side of things. And then there’s the thought process and the mentality behind it. Not only do you have to be able to hit the ball well into the area of the court you want, but you need to be doing the right shots at the right time. I can play a great shot, but if it bounces right back to where you’re standing, what’s the point?” To be clear, Malhotra is so much more than a hyper-intelligent machine, regurgitating data imputed by Read. His ability to interpret and deploy what he’s learned is evident, but as Read points out, Malhotra doesn’t just excel as a competitor, but as a mentor of younger players, too. Sure, he’s competed in a number of Silver and Gold Tournaments in the Pacific Northwest, but his real strength might just lie in his empathy and sense of camaraderie.

“Kaz is a great example,” Read says. “If a 7- or 8-year-old needs help, and I’m like, ‘Hey Kaz, would you go and hit with that kid for 20 minutes?,’ he’d be like, ‘Yeah no problem.’ Every time, no hesitation, and I love that.” “I like Ashley. He’s a good coach,” Malhotra says. “He’s a very laid-back guy, but he can also be strict. If you don’t understand what he’s saying, he’ll totally repeat it for you. But if you repeatedly ignore him, then, of course, he’s not going to want that.” Malhotra doesn’t make that mistake. He’s a sponge for new information and insights and is constantly applying what he learns. “I’ve always loved science,” he says. “One thing I’ve learned is to conserve your energy. Don’t go all out at the beginning or you’ll be really tired for the end. Just try to focus linearly and get to the end. If you’re not doing well, then just put everything that you can into it.”

Leaving It All on the Court “Over the years, when I’ve had a bad day or school wasn’t going very well, I would put it all on the court, and that would really help me out. Just hitting the ball against the wall relieves a lot of stress,” Alec Spiro says. For his dad, it can cause some stress, but only of the most amiable variety. “He can destroy me,” says David Spiro, smiling with pride. “He can keep me under three points. If he’s playing well, if I can get one or two points, I’d be really, really lucky. Which is frustrating for me. So, he toys with me on the court, and I don’t really like it very much.” Clearly, he does. The senior Spiro is chair of the Squash Committee, and first came to the game while going to medical school in San Francisco. After taking an offer from Yale to teach Continued on page 64

ATHLETICS Squash Continued from page 63 academic medicine, he became acquainted with its squash community, including MAC Member Coach Julian Illingworth, who was on the team. While David laments some of the “class issues” that keep squash from being more accessible to a diverse population, it’s clear that he has nothing but respect for the game itself. “I work hard playing it, and I continue to train to stay healthy for the sport,” he says. “For me, squash is a fitness opportunity as well as — I can probably speak for Alec, too — it has been part of our family. It has been a second family for us.” Unlike his dad, Alec got an early start. “There wasn’t really anything like it,” he says of his first taste of squash. “It just kind of came to me right when I started playing it. I was like, ‘this is my sport.’” While his love of the game might have come at first sight, like any great relationship, it’s required years of intentional effort and a willingness to embrace change. “Working hard can really have an impact on the future,” he says. “I’ve kind of always known that, but now I’ve really experienced it — working hard and seeing what the outcome is.” The outcome that Alec references was being ranked No. 1 in the country in the under 13 category. Now age 16, Spiro’s eyes practically ignite with the fire of competitive drive. He clearly wants to achieve a similar standing within his new age bracket of under 17. MAC’s coaching staff is there to help him, and Spiro freely admits that he looks up to both Illingworth and Read. Of the latter, he says, “He has a lot of experience with the game, and he’s a very good coach. We have a really good relationship. Like six months after he joined the MAC, he and I just clicked.” “I’ve probably worked more closely with Alec than anybody else here in my time,” Read says. “I think he’s easily on track to play in college if that’s what he wants.” Whether or not Alec decides to pursue squash at his next school, his dad says that it’s already given him an abundance of life experience. “He’s had all these opportunities to travel, meet all these really cool coaches, meet and become friends with kids from other cities,” David says. “I mean, when Alec shows up at a tournament, he probably knows at least half the people that are playing.”

Vaughan Siker settles in on the East Coast. Regardless, the younger Spiro says, “I’m definitely planning on playing for a team in college. And the squash offers are such a great opportunity when it comes to going to college. Until then, I’m just focused on going to tournaments and working hard.”

Squash Success Story Vaughan Siker was recruited by the squash coach at Tufts University, but says that he didn’t get into squash because he thought it would help with college and didn’t choose Tufts just because of squash. “I just really enjoy the game. It’s really interesting and different from a lot of other sports. There are a lot of angles, a lot of different ways to play the game,” he says. “I think having it as part of a college application is really helpful and a nice convenience, but I definitely didn’t start because I wanted to get into college. I chose it as my sport before I even knew that it was helpful.” Similarly, while he can see how squash could be an amazing workout while training for other sports, Siker says that, for him, it’s always been a goal in and of itself. “I can definitely see how that would help with other athletic conditioning. Because a lot of squash’s back-and-forth agility movements, I think that’s really helpful for a lot of sports like soccer. I never really put it into use for another sport, but I can definitely see how it would have helped me.” In fact, Siker actually took up CrossFit specifically to improve his squash, and he points out that the game is the most

physically demanding he’s ever experienced. After getting into traveling to tournaments with the MAC program, he realized that his off-the-court habits needed to improve before his viability at a national level would follow suit. From eating healthier to running to making sure to warm up before games, it all came down to will power for him. One thing Siker says he appreciates about playing at Tufts is the proper recognition squash gets as a top-tier sport. In high school, he says the lack of awareness of squash could be frustrating because peers didn’t always view it with the respect it receives on the East Coast. “It takes a lot of work, and it also can be really rewarding and fun,” he says. “It has all the similar aspects of any other sport; it’s just not as widely played. I think it’s way more athletically demanding than racquetball or baseball. Tennis is definitely a hard sport because it lasts a long time, but I think squash is the most requiring of fitness because you have to move so much faster. It’s definitely hard.” “When you get to the highest level, you’re thinking two or three shots ahead,” Read says. “From a life lesson perspective, you’ve got to learn to handle hardships. A ‘problem,’ I call it. Every opponent is a ‘problem,’ and if you can solve it — the quicker you can solve it by finding their strengths and weaknesses and starting to exploit them, the better. It’s like that in life, you’re going to come across adversity and problems in life, and if you can figure them out, then you’re going to be okay.” WM

ATHLETICS KARATE

International Karate Judge Heads MAC Program Sensei Bill Plapinger has been MAC Karate’s head instructor since 2000, providing direction in all aspects of traditional Japanese karate, including kihon (basics), kata (forms used for instruction) and kumite (sparring). Plapinger, who has international standing as a judge and medaled at the USA Karate

National competitions, uses his high level of achievement, detailed knowledge and keen observational skills to the benefit of his students at MAC. Plapinger began his karate training in 1971 in a community college P.E. class, and continued to train in college and beyond. He moved to Portland in 1980, and joined the Oregon Martial Arts Center, where he studied the JKA Shotokan style of karate and received his first Shodan rank (firstdegree black belt). In 1990, he began training with the Japan Karate Federation NW (JKFNW – Ryobu-kai) and worked his way to his current rank of Yandan (fourth-degree black belt). Plapinger began his role as a karate judge with a league license in 2000, followed by regional and national licenses. In 2015, he became a Pan American Karate Federation (PKF) judge at the 2015 Toronto Senior PKF Championship and at the 2017 Curacao Senior PKF Championship. As an

internationally licensed judge, Plapinger sees the best of the best and brings this experience back to benefit his students at MAC. Many of them are preparing for national level competitions. Earlier this year, at the USA National Karate Championships in Reno, Nevada, Plapinger was honored to be selected to judge elite final events — the qualifying matches for the U.S. National team. “Karate will be an Olympic event for the first time at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo,” he said. “We want the best athletes to be selected to the team, so the pressure to select the correct winner is far greater.” His active participation as an international referee brings well-deserved national attention to the MAC Karate program. u MAC offers beginner’s class every two months for all levels (First Tuesday in November and January). MAC’s program may be able to accommodate beginning adults on an individual basis. Contact Plapinger to discuss.

ATHLETICS TENNIS

All in the Family Multiple generations bond on the court Now in its second year, the Parent/ Grandparent and Child Tennis Tournament is designed to introduce youngsters to tournament competition in a comfortable, lowpressure setting. Additionally, parents get the rare opportunity to be their child’s teammate. At this year’s event, held in September, competitors were grouped according to each child’s age in either the Red Ball (ages 8 and younger) or Orange Ball (ages 10 and under) division. The eight teams on the Red Ball court played sideways across half a regular tennis court and used red dot tennis balls, which move at 25 percent the speed of a regular ball. The competition was spirited and some of the points lasted 12 or more shots. Many of the kids did overhead serves, but parents were required to only do drop serves.

NOVEMBER 2018

The final featured Tammy and Alex Cofield against Chris and Oliver Thoman. It was a great match, with the Thomans coming out on top to defend the title they claimed a year ago. Look for a possible new Orange Ball champion team next year — Oliver will be 9 years old and moving up from the Red Ball group. The Orange Ball teams played on a 60-foot court. The orange balls travel at 50 percent the speed of a regular tennis ball. The four participating teams played in a round robin with two no-ad sets to four, as players do in regular JTT (Junior Tennis Team) competitions. Lynn and Quinn Brown came out on top with a total of 24 out of a possible 24 games won. The closest match of the day was the second-place finish: Rachel and Stu Young edged out Dana and Owen Reber in a tiebreaker that was decided by only one game!

TRI-RUN

Hood to Coast a Run-Away Success Twelve MAC runners took off from Timberline Lodge on Aug. 24, and crossed the finish line at Seaside Beach on Aug. 26. MAC’s inaugural Hood to Coast relay team, led by captain Allana Strader, clocked in 32nd in their division, out of 200, and 233rd overall, out of a field of 1,200. New friendships were fostered, and the team hopes MAC continues to support a Hood to Coast team in the future. NOVEMBER 2018

ATHLETICS Gilgamesh Continued from page 25 “Hazy IPAs sell really well at MAC,” she says. “They’re easy drinking, and there’s nothing overtly esoteric about them.” Before she can continue, Harley is back to grab us. It’s hop time.

Jupiter and Beyond Forget lava lamps. If you really want to be transfixed, try staring into a whirlpool full of embryonic hazy IPA. Molten hues of yellow, orange, brown and gold swirl together, resembling nothing so much as the “eye of Jupiter,” or its “great red spot.” Adding hops to such a perfect storm requires precise timing. The longer hops mix with the wort, the more they’ll add a deeply bitter flavor to the final product. Matt emphasizes they’re all about avoiding that palate-killing arms race that has consumed many Portland breweries. Hops added later in the process are more about creating subtle surface flavors, such as botanicals, as well as shaping the aroma. Deanna adds the last of the hops to the swirling potion, and then we wait patiently for the hop break, when the surface becomes glassy, showing the percolation still taking place just beneath it. From here, the liquid will run through a heat exchanger, using the low temperature of incoming water to cool the wort to 66 degrees on its way to the fermentation tank. Yeast is added inline, as well, kicking off the process by which the wort becomes beer. After two weeks, it will be ready to drink. I leave Deanna to put the finishing touches on her creation, and walk out between an automated canning system and towers of empty aluminum vessels, waiting to be filled with Fresh Prince. For a family business that started in a wood shop, the journey to this cutting-edge warehouse and posh pub has been an impressive one. In less than a month, the No Sleep Till Portland IPA makes the last leg of its journey to MAC, where its mission will come to fruition in the form of satisfied members. The beer dinner and tap takeover are set for 5-9 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 15, in the Sports Pub. As you take your first sip, remember that all that taste started out as a sack of dry wheat grains, and just try not to describe its transformation as epic. WM

Breaking Ground M

AC President Edward H. Look (left) and Portland Art Commission Chairman Robert O. Lee pose during the planting of a scarlet oak tree in November 1966. This tree was one of 26 (in honor of MAC’s 26 founders) planted by the club, along with shrubs and ground cover at its two parking lots at SW 19th Avenue and Salmon Street in order to beautify the grounds. During that same month, Portland voters approved a ballot measure for the city to purchase Multnomah Stadium from the club, allowing the Board of Trustees and Property Committee to move forward with designing plans for Phase II of clubhouse construction. Phase II was the construction of a new west wing/main clubhouse, necessitating the demolition of the 1912 Salmon Street Clubhouse, which closed on July 10, 1971. Construction began on Jan. 13, 1972, and the new facility opened in early February 1974. While work was ongoing, all activities were crowded into the east wing. —Luke Sprunger, club archivist

Where did you grow up? New York state

Why Providence? Providence provided me with a unique opportunity to create a patient-centered epilepsy program, making the most advanced, cutting-edge seizure therapies accessible to all patients.

What’s your dream for Providence? Foremost, it’s to create a state-of-the-art interdisciplinary epilepsy program that addresses the unique medical, social and psychological challenges facing patients with seizure disorders. We also work to increase epilepsy awareness among patients, caregivers and the general public, with a goal of de-stigmatizing this common disease that often is misunderstood.

What are your hobbies? Traveling, knitting, and spending time with friends and family.

What are some major achievements at Providence? Our epilepsy program has grown from a single doctor to a proficient team of epileptologists, nurses, psychologists and surgeons. Through collaborative efforts, we’re able to offer innovative treatments to

patients with disabling seizure disorders, improving their quality of life and in some instances even rendering them seizure free. Our center is now one of only two nationally accredited epilepsy centers in Oregon. As our program continues to grow, we can extend our services to even more patients in need.

Who were your mentors? Though not neurologists, my own physicians who cared for me as a child motivated me to pursue medicine as an adult. Today as a practicing physician, I’m inspired by my patients, their families and my colleagues.

Why does philanthropy matter to your work? Philanthropy allows us to create a truly patient-centric program where we can develop services tailored to patients’ needs. The unpredictable nature of epileptic seizures makes it difficult for patients to be gainfully employed. They often struggle with cognitive limitations and mental health challenges, which create additional socioeconomic barriers. Our generous donors make it possible to provide exceptional care to ALL patients, providing them with hope for a brighter future.
