he Board of Trustees and club executive management are working together to finalize a strategic plan that will guide the club for the next five to 10 years. We believe MAC needs this strategic plan for a variety Robert Radler PRESIDENT of reasons, including increasing pressure on dues and the need for a consistent set of long-term club goals for the future health of the club. As you can imagine, the implementation of the strategic plan will impact members. Both the board and club management will be doing what we can to lessen the adverse impacts of the plan. MAC is facing both typical and atypical pressures on dues. Typical pressures include members wanting more programs and increasing member use of club facilities. Other typical pressures are such things as increasing costs associated with programming, maintenance of heavily used facilities, remodeling of our aging buildings and addressing our parking issues. Atypical pressures include the increasing minimum wage and the increased property taxes from the recently passed school bond. The minimum wage increases in steps from $9.25 an hour in 2016 to $14.75 an hour in 2022. MAC’s property tax bill will increase by $88,000 due to the school bond. The club historically has had strategic plans that were implemented to varying degrees. Currently, the club does not have a strategic plan that provides club governance and staff with clear long-term goals upon which they can act. Without those long-term, actionable goals, committees and board members naturally will have a tendency to select goals and make decisions based more upon each person’s well-intentioned perspectives at the moment. That type of goal setting and decision-making leaves staff with ever-shifting directions from the committees and the board. This obviously is not the best model for current operations and the future health of the club. Last year, the Strategic Planning Committee took the first steps in a longterm strategic plan by creating a first draft and identifying much of the data and data analysis needed for plan completion. The board and club executive management are

taking the next steps this year. We currently are in the process of additional data collection and analysis. We are looking at our assets, analyzing our business and identifying how to attract our future members. The analysis of our business will include not just a review of the costs of programs and projects in financial terms but also will bring the number of members impacted into the equation. We are acutely aware that MAC is NOT a for-profit business that looks for a financial return on investment. Rather, MAC gets its return on investment in the form of member satisfaction. The more members we satisfy and the more attractive MAC is to future members are significant benchmarks by which we measure club success. On the other hand, we realistically recognize that it costs money and resources to offer a multitude of programs with varying costs. We anticipate completing the strategic plan before early February 2018, which is when the current officers’ term ends and four new trustees begin their three-year terms of service. What does all this mean to you as a member and, perhaps, to a MAC program you may enjoy? Pending the strategic plan completion, the board and staff are going to do what we can to be net neutral on programs. At this point, we hope to keep up to date with current programs but if we add one we want to see a less popular or outdated one dropped. You probably will not see much of a day-today difference during this interim period, as staff always tries to keep programs fresh and enjoyable for members. What you may notice, pending the strategic plan completion, is that there likely will be little or no expansion into wholly new programs. Members will begin to see more significant changes when the strategic plan is completed. You will start noticing more or less emphasis in some areas of club facilities and programs. I expect the club will move forward in alignment with the strategic plan at a measured pace and in a disciplined and transparent fashion. We fully intend to be relatively gradual in ending most of the programs that committees and staff decide need to be terminated and anticipate these changes will be implemented over, in some cases, perhaps as long as five years. This is an exciting time for the club. Completion of a long-term strategic plan and implementation of that plan should help ensure that current and future generations of MAC members will enjoy the club well into the future.

y wife and I had the o p p o r t u n i t y, l i k e many other families, to spend time outside of Portland this summer. We visited the East Coast, spent time in northern Michigan en route Norm Rich to Chicago, and spent GENERAL MANAGER a day in Houston before returning home. We were chasing our son Max’s dream as he was competing for a spot on the roster with the New England Patriots. Seeing our son competing at this level is extremely satisfying, worrisome and rewarding. Spending time away from our home city is always meaningful. We saw close friends, watched our son perform at the NFL level, and watched gifted athletes making careers for themselves. I am not sure where it will all end up, but at press time, we got the opportunity to watch our son get his share of time on the field playing in the sport he loves, fulfilling a goal he set for himself in high school. We also had the opportunity to spend a week with lifelong friends on a lake in northeast Michigan. We saw way too many University of Michigan T-shirts for a boy and girl who grew up in Ohio rooting for their big local team. We spent quality time with our close friends and their extended families, all of whom have been escaping to a lake in northern Michigan since they were children. Memories are created and relived there every summer. It reminded me of how important family time is; making memories builds a foundation we can carry forward for generations. Our friends’ parents were from modest means, and we saw where their tiny lake home still resides today. It has been uninhabited for nearly 30 years. Their children sought out a long-term plan to preserve the home to bring it back to something special and to honor their parents, their lives and routines. They also found their father’s vintage wooden boat, and one of the brothers is restoring it. These deeds by our friends’ family became so important to Valerie and I,

and made us want to re-dedicate our efforts to making more meaningful memories for our own family. Over the past few months, leadership staff and the Board of Trustees have been partnering together on a strategic planning process that will set a roadmap for the future of our club. This process will be similar to the process stated above. We will incorporate new ideas as we preserve our best memories and the finest elements of our past. We want to establish the roadmap for our future and set a game plan that takes us beyond our nearly 127 years. Times are changing; as is the need to service our current membership and future members for our long-term future. Younger members and the economy are shrinking current floor plans of newer homes, which will ultimately bring in members to use more parts of our

We want to establish a roadmap for our future and set a game plan that takes us beyond our nearly 127 years. club more often. Summer memories are often great prescriptions for the approaching fall and winter months and make us want to repeat old memories and create some new ones. Our strategic plan will take several months to finalize with the help of trustees, consultants and members. Good memories, new ideas and tradition will certainly be part of our long-term strategic plan. September will be a busy month around the club with the return of fall and routine, the beginning of school, recreational and competitive athletics, junior dances and a bit of chill in the air. We honor the memory of the 2,996 lives lost on Sept. 11, and go on reminding ourselves of their promise and their loss. Our club offers a respite from much of the outside world and embodies the true meaning of a home away from home. We will do our best to make it even more meaningful as we embark on our strategic plan. I wish you a fall full of promise and a return to summer memories in the not too distant future.

hile summer in Oregon is magical, I cannot help but be excited for fall. The coming months provide an amazing menu for sports enthusiasts: NFL and NCAA football, MLB baseball and the Phil Galvin ATHLETIC AND beginning of the NBA WELLNESS DIRECTOR season. As a Bay Area native, my attention tends to be on the teams from that neck of the woods. However, make no mistake about it, the Civil War rivalry game between Oregon and Oregon State is absolutely circled on my calendar (Nov. 25 in Eugene).

Equipment in the E&C I want to take this opportunity to mention a very important item for those of you that use the equipment in the Exercise and Conditioning Room, Small Weight Room and Ledge. As a starting point, I want everyone to know that I have a very high expectation for the condition of the equipment in these areas. As a member of MAC, you should also have a high expectation. While I am working with our current staff on cleaning schedules, the regular checking of equipment, and timeliness of fixing broken items, you can also be a valuable ally to us in our efforts. If you are using a piece of equipment and it is broken in any way, please take the time to report it to any member of our staff. Do not simply move to another machine and assume that the team is aware of the problem you just encountered. After all, the main challenge with communication is the assumption that it took place. Together, we can absolutely maintain a higher standard in all areas of the club.

Gym temperature The Winged M relies upon individuals and committees to submit event results for the Club Scoreboard. To submit an item: Fill out a Club Scoreboard form providing the athlete’s name, sport, event, date and standing (first, second or third place) and submit the form to Athletic Services. Forms are available in Athletic Services.

On a recent Saturday trip to the club, I could not help but notice all of the activities that occur in both the West and Main gyms. While riding a bike up on the track area, I witnessed members playing basketball, hitting volleyballs, running on the track, working out in the corners of the track and working out in the Fitzone. ​Several families simply

found their way to the Main Gym to let their toddlers run around in an open space. All of this was occurring while the Thorns played next door. It was a snapshot of how amazing it is to be a MAC member. Full disclosure: there was one small problem with this picture I was taking – it was remarkably HOT in both of the gyms. I’m happy to report that this problem will be fixed in early 2018. A new air-conditioning system will allow us to lower the temperatures of both gyms to a much more comfortable level. Exciting!

Strategic Plan As many of you are aware, the Board of Trustees and executive staff are working on a strategic plan for the club. A strategic plan sets our ship on a healthy course, working to ensure that the time-tested traditions and future relevance of the club are married into one dynamic set of objectives. Those involved are using many tools to create the plan, including internal and external data and trend information. Will there be changes to the current programming? Absolutely.

A new air conditioning system will allow us to lower the temperatues of both gyms. What are those changes? At this point, we do not know. We are -ooking at a wealth of information to evaluate threse decisions, and bringing in national experts to help us evaluate the club and its programming. We will continue to communicate with everyone as the process develops and remember: It’s important, as a club, to try to get all the good ideas. However, you can’t always use or do all of those good ideas. As the athletic and wellness director, I can assure you that the process will be comprehensive, accurate and will yield a much better MAC. ​ Please do not hesitate to reach out to me if I can help you in any way here at the club. It is my pleasure to assist you. I would also encourage you to stop and introduce yourself if you see me out and about. The strength of the club is in our members and it is very important that I hear your thoughts and ideas about MAC. WM

FACES IN THE CLUB MAC Synchro Head Coach Lucie Svrcinova won a silver medal during the FINA World Masters competition in Budapest, Hungary over the summer. Svrcinova competed in the 40-49 age group solo event against 29 other athletes from around the world, most of them being national level swimmers. She tied for first with a soloist from Russia after the technical event. In the free event, she took the silver medal with an inspiring performance. The MAC aquatics team is thrilled to have such a fearless leader for MAC Synchro as the program heads into another season. Read more on page 64.

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

MAC Alpine Ski Team recently hired former U.S. Ski Team serviceman Mike Hay as assistant junior coach and ski technician. Hay is a long-time Mt. Hood local who has worked for many years in the ski-racing industry as a brand representative for companies like Uvex, Fischer and Head, was the serviceman to Olympic athletes Laurenne Ross and Andrew Weibrecht, and spent many years as a U16/U19 Coach for the Meadows Race Team. Hay brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to ski tuning and full-equipment service. MAC’s travel team athletes at a race series will now be able to hand off their race skis to be prepared by Mike as soon as they come off the hill each day.

MAC swimmer Van Mathias recently competed at the Phillips 66 National Championships/ World Championship trials in Indianapolis. This was Mathias’s first time competing at this level of competition. Competing in the 18-and-under age group, he made the finals in every event. Mathias placed second in the 50, fourth in the 100 Fly, and eighth in the 200 Fly and 200 IM, with all personal best times. He was one of only a few 16-year-olds at the meet, and one of two in the finals. His times in the 100 Fly were 13th fastest in all-time top 100 for U.S. 15- and 16-yearold boys, and 33rd in the 200 Fly. Mathias was also ranked No. 1 in the country in his age group in the 100-meter butterfly.

MAC swimmer Brynne O’Shea recently competed at the Phillips 66 National Championships/ World Championship trials in Indianapolis. The venerable venue was home to the Olympic Trials in 1984, 1988, 1992, 1996 and 2000 Olympic Trials. O’Shea swam a personal best in the 50 backstroke and was just 0.2 off her best in 100 backstroke. She gained invaluable experience competing at the highest level and was excited about the upcoming Junior National Tournament, held in Long Island, New York, after The Winged M went to press. Earlier this season, O’Shea also set the Open Oregon record in the 200 backstroke.

Austin Brown, Chase Mosier and Michael Gale won the 2017 MAC Outdoor 3-on-3 Basketball Tournament at Strohecker’s Park (you may know it as Portland Heights) in August. This was the 34th time the annual event took place, and as usual, it provided spirited competition. For more photos from the event, see page 46.

James Beard Award-winning Chef Philippe Boulot’s take on approachable fine dining features a seasonal menu.

Honoring the Past, Celebrating the Future in 1891 1

891, it’s both a significant date in MAC history and the premier dining experience at the club. James Beard Award-winning Chef Philippe Boulot’s take on approachable fine dining features a seasonal menu. Philippe’s longstanding relationships with local farmers, ranchers, fishermen and foragers gives the kitchen team the finest and freshest ingredients. The result is unpretentious, expertly crafted dishes reflecting his culinary pedigree and down-to-earth personality. Each September we look forward to members returning from summer holidays and adventures; coming back to the club and getting into a routine that we hope

includes discovering what’s new in 1891. Our team looks at September as a reopening of sorts. We work to improve on our successes and make advances in areas that need development. While innovative menus and a classic cocktail program are the backbone of 1891, member input is a guiding source for us to implement new programs and perform at the highest level. This fall, chef and his team will continue to focus on sustainably sourced products including seafood, meat and the freshest produce available.

The MACtinis favorite, the MTL Burger, will remain a core item in the seasonally evolving menus. On Tuesday, Sept. 12, 1891 and MACtinis will return to regular hours of operation. The team in 1891 would also like to congratulate the Balladeers and MelloMACs on their invitation to sing at Carnegie Hall in the coming year. Carnegie Hall opened in New York in 1891, with Tchaikovsky as the guest conductor. We honor that great year everyday in 1891, and hope members will continue to celebrate the hospitality and camaraderie MAC has epitomized for over 125 years. WM

Supper Club Features Wild Mushrooms With its cool, damp climate and forested landscape, the Pacific Northwest is one of the best places in America to find wild mushrooms. Putting them in a soup is a great way to use different varieties. And let’s face it, once the rain starts, what’s better than a hearty stew.

1 Tbsp. fresh rosemary, finely chopped

1891 features wild mushrooms during Supper Club on Saturday, Sept. 16. If you need your fix earlier, try this recipe from Sports Pub Chef Deanna Bascom.

1. Cook mushrooms with olive oil, salt and pepper, brown slightly and cook over medium heat until all the liquid has evaporated from mushrooms. Set mushrooms aside.

1 head garlic, roasted (see instructions below) 1 cup white wine 4 cup vegetable or chicken stock

Wild Mushroom and White Bean Stew

2. Take head of garlic and slice off the top to just expose the cloves. In an ovenproof dish, drizzle with olive oil and cover with foil. Roast until lightly browned in a 325-degree oven. Let cool, remove garlic cloves and mash into paste. Set aside.

Serves: 6 This stew may be made a day ahead, and is best served with crusty French baguette or garlic bread.

3. In a stock pot, saute leeks, onions, celery and carrot in olive oil over medium heat until translucent. Season with salt and pepper. Deglaze with white wine and cook until liquid is almost evaporated.

Ingredients: ½ lb. dried, small white beans (soaked overnight) ½ lb. mixed, wild mushrooms (chanterelles, lobster, matsutake, porcini), cleaned and chopped 1 leek, white and pale green parts only, cleaned and sliced thin 1 yellow onion, small dice 2 celery stalks, thin sliced 1 carrot, peeled, small dice 2 tomatoes, diced ½-inch 1 Tbsp. fresh thyme, finely chopped

Method:

4. Add tomatoes, mushrooms, roasted garlic paste, herbs, beans and stock. Keep uncovered and bring to a boil, then reduce to simmer until beans are tender and liquid is almost gone. If the beans are not tender and liquid is almost gone, add water and cook until beans are tender. 5. Season to taste with salt and pepper. At this point, stew can be served immediately or cooled down to reheat the next day. WM

H

arvest in the Willamette Valley is right around the corner, and you know what that means; it is time for Winestock at MAC! This year, the team at Southern Glazer’s Wine and Spirits will deliver another stellar selection of wines from Oregon, Washington, California and beyond beginning at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 5. Come in and taste through dozens of wines so you can stock your cellar. Featured wineries include: Archery Summit, one of Oregon’s premier producers; Sleight of Hand Cellars, a cult classic from Walla Walla; and Quintessa, one of the most highly touted wines out of Napa Valley. And of course there will be some bubbles from our French friends, with selections from Veuve Clicquot and Moët. Chef Philippe Boulot and his team

will have an array of wonderful appetizers to nosh on while you taste. Come hungry, come thirsty and come ready to fill that cellar with wines specially priced for you. The cost is $18 for members and $20 for guests. FB691

1891 Pinot by Lange We are also excited to be pouring our very own collaborative wine from Lange Estate Winery. We have selected and bottled 1891’s very own 2016 Pinot Noir, made by Jesse Lange in concert with Food and Beverage Director, Cameron McMurry, and Catering Operations Manager, Matt Carter.

Wine Dinner Wine dinners in 1891 return this fall with Crowley Wines on Thursday, Sept. 28. Crowley Wines was founded in 2005 and focuses on vineyards in the Willamette Valley that showcase the diverse soil types and vineyard situations while maintaining a sense of terroir. Having established relationships with family-owned vineyards they prefer to work with classic clones of pinot noir and chardonnay such as Wente, Wadenswil and Pommard. These clones are slower to ripen – especially in the cooler, high elevation sites they prefer – resulting in wines of balance with crisp acidity, developed structure and concentrated but elegant texture. Enjoy a four-course meal that includes wild salmon tartare, roasted duck, braised short rib and more, with each course paired with a Crowley wine, at 6 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 28, in 1891 East. The cost is $75. The October wine dinner features Elk Cove Vineyards. See the October issue of The Winged M or join the Food and Beverage email group at theMAC.com for more information. WM

eer dinners at the Sports Pub return for their fifth season this fall. These special Thursday evenings have become a crowd favorite, and a chance for Sous Chef Deanna Bascom to develop dishes to pair with some of the region’s best beers. The season kicks off with Northeast Portland’s Ecliptic Brewing on Thursday, Sept. 21. The celestial-themed brewery is the brainchild of John Harris. Chances are, even if you’ve never had an Ecliptic, you’ve had one of Harris’s beers. The brewing pioneer spent decades working for McMenamins, Deschutes and Full Sail, developing iconic Oregon beers like Mirror Pond and Black Butte porter, before striking out on his own in 2013. Celebrate the fall harvest in October with a cider-themed beer dinner on Thursday, Oct. 19. Compare ciders from the region’s growing list of award-winning cideries against classics from Europe.

William J. Brady Jan. 9, 1932-May 10, 2017 Dr. William J. Brady died peacefully at home on May 10, 2017, after a long battle with multiple myeloma and complications associated with that cancer. He was 85 years old. Bill’s parents gave him a MAC membership while he was a high school student at Central Catholic, and he loved using the club facilities and social programs. He brought his wife, Mary Lou, and all five daughters in as members, and was proud and pleased that they all participated in many of the activities and groups that the MAC offered. Bill brought the family down for Sunday night prime rib dinners and the annual Father Daughter Dinner Dance for many years, and he participated in Joe Loprinizi’s weekly workout classes for most of his adult life. He was always proud and excited to compete in the annual decathlon, bringing an energetic and enthusiastic sense of fun to the competition in every age category in which he

took part. He was a lifelong member of the Trumpeters and of the Toastmasters group that met on Friday mornings, and he made many professional and personal friendships through the groups. He continued to use the club facilities throughout his later life, participating in the balance class and personal training in the last few years, helping his longevity and energy. He is missed by many.

Photos and Theft in the Locker Rooms Several thefts have been reported recently in club locker rooms. The club recommends that you lock your personal belongings in a rented or day-use locker when you are using the facilities. This includes when you leave your locker to shower or use the spa amenities. Leaving your gym bag underneath a bench while you are elsewhere in the building puts your property at a higher risk of theft. Though not necessarily as obvious, leaving your belongings in an unlocked locker increases the likelihood your belongings could be stolen. The club is not responsible for loss of property from any part of the clubhouse.

The campaign was a success! Many members became aware of the Club Rules that were approved by the board in March 2015. Once more members became aware, the club received sounding board complaints regarding the photography aspect of the rule. In considering the opinions expressed by members the board acted to revise Club Rules, to further restrict photography and video recording in certain areas of the club. Photography and video recording is now prohibited in the following areas: locker rooms, changing/shower rooms, restrooms, steam rooms, saunas, hot/warm room, and whirlpools.

During game days, TriMet and MAC provide an incentive for members and guests to use Portland’s convenient public transportation system when commuting to the club. On any day of the week, At Your Service exchanges a TriMet ticket or transfer for a free return ticket on the same day. On major congestion days, including Timbers game days, members receive two tickets per receipt. Exchanges are limited to the date on the original ticket or transfer.

How Does the Club Select New Art? By Committee H

ave you ever turned a corner in Multnomah Athletic Club and noticed the artwork on the wall? Have you ever wondered how that particular artwork got there? The placement and curation of the club’s art collection is the responsibility of the Arts Subcommittee, a subcommittee of the Property Committee, which works with the Facilities Department. The subcommittee recommends the placement of the artworks to the general manager and oversees the condition of the existing art collection. New acquisitions and divestments are researched and decided by the sub-committee. From the installation of Devin Field’s Hybrid Mobius stainless steel sculpture that was purchased to commemorate the Club’s 125th Anniversary in 2015 to the recent procurement and hanging of the two new artworks in the Women’s Locker Room, the Arts Subcommittee works year round to procure new pieces of art as well as maintain and curate our large collection. You may have noticed the temporary stanchion around the Henk Pander painting in the lobby last year. The most recent purchase of the Anne Siems piece, Moth Girl, and the piece by Gwen Davidson, Inlet, were installed last month after months of gallery visits and discussion with members on the committee. The charge for acquiring these pieces comes from the architect and designers who do the project for the club. We are able to view the design specifications, color ways and layout of the

project. We also have a wish list of artists to be included in the collection compiled by previous sub-committee members. Though works by local and regional artists are the general focus of the collection, the Club also acquires collectable items of high artistic merit. Who is on the Arts Subcommittee? At any given time, you will find designers, art dealers, collectors, artists, museum administrators, commercial collection managers and art devotees peppering the committee. Every member is interested in developing interest in the arts and our collection. One of the activities we are involved in is presenting the “Art at the MAC” event which is a showcase for professional artists three times a year for the benefit of the members. These can be a talk by an arts professional, like the most recent event featuring Elizabeth Leach discussing how to begin collecting art, or a show in the Reading Lounge, sometimes with a presentation from the artist. As with any committee at the Multnomah Club, members are encouraged to apply for positions on the sub-committee at the end of the year. The term of service is three years. WM MONTH 2017

emember your favorite superhero? Filmmaker Brett Culp does, and he’s using that as an agent for change with his new feature-length not-for-profit documentary film Look to the Sky. The film makes its Portland premiere during a special fundraiser for the Multnomah Athletic Foundation at MAC. “When I was a kid the most popular hero was Superman. He’s a symbol of hope and belief in tomorrow,” Culp says. In his most recent documentary, the director takes those themes and weaves together

heartening stories of young people who have demonstrated the spirit of Superman to encourage viewers to find the everyday superhero within themselves. “As we grow up, many of us lose our faith that the world can be different, and that we have the power to create real change,” he says. “My goal as a filmmaker is to help people return to that childlike sense of possibility for their own lives and for the world,” he says. It’s a cinematic philosophy that Culp pioneered and has led to an expertise in creating ‘mini-movements,’ where his films work to bring together

diverse groups for meaningful conversation and transformative community building. In addition to growing hope, his films stand as a testament to what Culp strongly believes: “The world is filled with good people and beautiful stories are everywhere.” With his previous film, Legends of the Knight, he launched a free initiative allowing individuals and organizations to request a screening of the movie in their community with the proceeds benefiting the charity of their choice. “People responded in such a beautiful way, and

the film ultimately screened in 110 cities around the world, raising $100,000 for charity,” says Culp. “It showed me how filmmaking – and art of any type – can inspire community spirit and positive change.” Since then, he and his wife Tricia Culp founded a 501c3 not-for-profit called The Rising Heroes Project, and their films are now produced through this organization, allowing them to be available for charitable and educational purposes. “We are excited to be continuing this initiative with our new film Look to the Sky,” he adds. The film will be used all around the world to raise money for charities, build communities, and help educators share hope-filled messages. One of the first screenings on the West Coast will be held Sunday, Oct. 8, by the Multnomah Athletic Foundation and the MAC Events and Catering Department. “This film is an incredible catalyst for spreading the message of hope, and we are grabbing a hold of it with both hands and our hearts,” says Lisa Bendt, executive director of the Multnomah Athletic Foundation. “We hope to the film attracts members of all ages. We want people to bring co-workers, friends, teammates and families to share the experience.” The premiere event includes a screening of Look to the Sky, thematic activities for all ages, and a chance to meet Culp, who will attend.“It is a fundraiser, but more importantly, we want it to engage the

community inside the building, and outside the building,” says Bendt. “Ultimately, we want people to realize that they have the opportunity in today’s culture to offer hope. There are a lot of things we can’t do anything about. But we can choose to be an everyday hero and make a difference in someone’s life.”

Multnomah Athletic Foundation Established in 1991, Multnomah Athletic Foundation provides confidence and character-building opportunities

with an emphasis on athletic participation for youth in under-served communities. Thousands of the region’s youth have benefitted from funding and support. The Foundation provides financial resources of $100,000 annually in community grants to nonprofit organizations and $100,000 annually in scholarships to student athletes.

Rodriguez, M.D. Program director (retired) Providence Milwaukie Family Medicine Residency Board member, Providence Milwaukie Hospital Foundation Education/training/service: • Stanford University • Case Western Reserve School of Medicine • Family Medicine Residency, Group Health Cooperative, Seattle • Indian Health Service, Navajo Nation, New Mexico

Where did you grow up? I spent my youth in Madras, Ore., – a great place to grow up in the 1950s and ‘60s. My father was an attorney for 40 years in Madras, and my mom the first dietitian at the Madras hospital.

What were early influences in your career?

Your dream for Providence? To shape the future of health care by applying Providence’s core values of compassion, respect, excellence, justice and stewardship whenever we educate future physicians.

What are your hobbies? I enjoy running, biking, gardening and backpacking. The last few years I’ve grown to love poetry. Before my mother died, I spent many hours reading poetry aloud to her.

How does philanthropy help support future doctors?

Four years serving the people of the Navajo Nation was a formative experience. It set the stage for my career of building robust primary care models to serve vulnerable patients and communities.

My wife Molly and I support the family medicine endowment at Providence Milwaukie. We’ve seen first-hand what it means for communities to have access to quality primary care.

Why Providence?

What’s a great Providence memory?

Throughout my 20-year career at Providence, I was grateful for the commitment of the Sisters of Providence “to reveal God’s love for all, especially the poor and vulnerable, through our compassionate service.”

To learn more, visit: www.providencefoundations.org/milwaukie

One of my first patients was an older woman named Edna Key. She had some complex medical issues and gave very helpful feedback about her care. At my request, she even gave a presentation to Providence leaders about her experiences. Edna was the authentic voice of those we serve.


at mac DO YOU KNOW AN EVERYDAY HERO? We’re on the hunt for amazing stories about MAC members and employees who make our community a better place. Do you know a member who has done something extraordinary for someone in need? Is there an employee who is a supervolunteer for a local organization? If you know someone who fits the bill, send an email describing your hero’s efforts to flevinsohn@themac.com. Please keep the description to 150 words and use the subject line “MAC Everday Hero.” A selection of the most incredible stories will be shared at this club-wide event and included in The Winged M. Need some inspiration? Here is a look at some of the everyday heroes we have featured in The Winged M over the past couple of years.

EMPOWERING GIRLS WORLDWIDE

Al Tauscher Award winners Nicole Marchesi and Anna Rumaner are ace student athletes at Lincoln High School who have spent their young lives involved in sports at MAC and beyond. But what really sets them apart is their commitment to service. The duo co-sponsored a fundraising event/benefit concert for Days for Girls International, an organization dedicated to empowering girls worldwide with dignity, health and safety. This event not only raised awareness of the organization, it spotlighted two emerging female county music artists who performed at the event. Nicole and her partner for the event secured the location, catering, donations and online marketing, for an evening that netted an unexpected $12,000.

ONE HOUSEHOLD, TWO HEROES

Husband and wife team Steve Yarosh and Irma Valdez lead busy lives. A typical day may find Valdez meeting with youth immigrants through DACA - Different Action for Childhood Arrivals. Formerly with the Federal Department of Justice, she has taught the U.S. judicial system to attorneys and judges of other nations. And Yarosh? He has spent hours with Portland’s Police Review Board, serving as the sole voting civilian member during review of complaints filed against officers. A former federal prosecutor, Steve has the background, skills and interest needed to take on this complex volunteer role. At the end of a frantic work day, these devoted parents of a lucky sixth-grade son also relax, exercise, and yes, volunteer at Multnomah Athletic Club. We can laugh, sweat and work beside this duo… and benefit from each and every encounter.

HELP ON MANY FRONTS

Jenny Kim’s civic engagement extends from support of Oregon’s first-ever North Korean refugee to providing pro bono business strategy and project management skills to small non-profits. But it doesn’t stop there. Kim is particularly passionate about international adoption issues. She works on the rights of adoptees from South and Central America, Russia, Vietnam and China who came through Eugene’s Holt International. In addition, Portland’s World Affairs Council and Wilsonville’s Korean War Memorial Association benefit from Kim’s sensitivity and ability to host dignitaries from far corners. Kim is also a council member on the International Unification Advisory Council, which focuses on the galvanizing issues in North Korea. Did we mention she does all of that while raising her 8- and 10-year-old daughters? Continued u SEPTEMBER 2017

CULTURE AND STYLE

Discover Portland’s Iconic Arts and Crafts Architect N

ative Oregonian Wade Pipes, the iconic Arts and Crafts architect of the 1930s, designed 70 residences in his 50-year career. Stately, large custom homes and English beach cottages dot Portland’s historic landscape, and at least 15 of them are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Pipes, who spent his entire life in Portland except during his study in England, was considered the “foremost exponent of English Cottage architecture in the state.” Enjoy a Culture and Style luncheon with Eric Wheeler, owner of Positively Portland Walking Tours from 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 26. Wheeler shares an engaging presentation about Pipes’ style and some of his classic Portland homes. Wheeler, an architectural historian with a deep fondness for Portland’s neighborhoods, leads hikes regularly with Walking and Hiking, and is well-versed in Pipes’ life, professional profile, and influence on local architecture. The cost is $25 for members and $28 for guests.

Fieldwork Flowers presents an interactive holiday wreath workshop on Tuesday, Nov. 28.

Pink-Collar Crime Join the Culture and Style committee from 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m. Monday, Oct. 16, for a luncheon of intrigue as crime expert Kelly Paxton shares tips you can use to identify a pink-collar criminal. Coined by Kathleen Daly in the 1980s, the term “pink-collar crime” describes embezzlement-type crimes typically committed by females based on limited opportunity. In this context, women were more likely to have committed low-level crimes such as check kiting and bookkeeping fraud. Tom Brokaw has declared the 21st century as the Century of Women. With 40 percent of women identified as primary breadwinners, most people wouldn’t think that with this progress comes other unfortunate statistics, such as the increase in female embezzlers. In a 10-year period, women embezzlement arrests rose over 40 percent, while male embezzlement arrests increased only 2 percent. Paxton talks about what to look for in your business to make sure your most trusted employee is not a pinkcollar criminal. The cost is $26 for members and $29 for guests. MEV675 WM

MAC has great opportunities for members to volunteer for social, athletic and service-oriented projects.

It takes many helping hands to successfully carry out some of the large MAC events throughout the calendar year. MACorps Volunteers is a group of club members motivated to engage with and on behalf of MAC in the spirit of community through service. This group is not a committee, but volunteers receive periodic emails about opportunities to help with a one-day project or just for a few hours when their calendar permits. During this event, we thank our active MACorps volunteers and sign up new volunteer members. Light refreshments are served. Register online at theMAC.com or call At Your Service 503-517-7235.

Evening Readers Discuss Commonwealth Join the Evening Literary Group to discuss Ann Patchett’s Commonwealth at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 26. One Sunday afternoon in Southern California, Bert Cousins shows up at Franny Keating’s christening party uninvited. Before evening falls he has kissed Franny’s mother, Beverly, thus setting in motion the dissolution of their marriages and the joining of two families. Told with equal measures of humor and heartbreak, Commonwealth is a meditation on inspiration, interpretation and the ownership of stories. It’s a great read. – Gary Lindberg

Keep Portland Healthy: How Public Health Impacts You 6:30-8 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 24 Oregon has many significant health issues ranging from substance abuse, homelessness and mental health to obesity, cardiovascular disease and cancer. Challenges related to health access, education, background and economic opportunity further impact these issues creating public health epidemics. And, while it may seem these challenges only impact a select few, in reality, public health directly impacts the well-being of all residents in Portland, across Oregon, and beyond. Portland native and Lincoln High School graduate Dr. David Bangsberg, the founding dean of the new OHSU-PSU School of Public Health, defines the social determinants of health and explains how they impact various lifestyles. Drawing on his previous work at the Johns Hopkins Medical School in drug- and crime-ridden East Baltimore, Bangsberg became determined to end public health disparities worldwide, beginning here, in Oregon.

Welcome to the Club.

The MelloMacs are a social club, too, with an annual holiday party and a summer picnic at the lakefront home of one of the members where boating and swimming are a must. Each week, the group meets before rehearsal or after a concert for a little food and drink and to get to know one another better. Some MelloMac members have been around since the 1960s, and others joined just last year. What better way to make new friends than to sing one another to make people happy?

An Octoroon is a raucously irreverent riff off a 19th Century hit melodrama set on a Louisiana plantation. Branden Jacobs-Jenkins offers a brazen and metatheatrical experience that twists a world of larger-than-life stereotypes into blistering social commentary. It’s a hilarious and gasp-inducing satire from one of America’s most thrilling writers.

ATHLETICS

Exercise Your Brain Health-conscious people spend a lot of time taking care of their bodies. At any athletic club, you can take classes that will strengthen your core, tone your legs, build muscle and increase flexibility. That’s great for improving your fitness – but what about your brain? For all of its importance, brain health is something we don’t often discuss until someone suffers an injury. This month, MAC’s wellness team is looking to change that with a host of events, activities and classes on the topic.

Savor a Sunset, Create a Healthier Brain

W

hen was the last time you looked at a sunset? That’s an easyto-answer question that would not generate much brain activity. But with the change of a single word, the same question will make your brain a smidgen healthier: When was the last time you savored a sunset? Take some time before you answer because we don’t really savor every sunset, at least not as a new sub-field of neuroscience, applied brain science, defines it. “Savoring” is a wonderful concept and is also an emerging branch of brain research. The scientific term was coined a decade ago by Dr. Fred Bryant from Loyola University in Chicago, whose groundbreaking work led to a steady stream of studies that can inform us how to prolong and leverage the brain-healthy benefits of certain types of memories. Bryant offers this definition of savoring: Savoring is the capacity to attend to the joys, pleasures, and other positive feelings that we experience in our lives. “To attend,” as in pay attention. As in put down the iPhone. Or, as you might say to your distractible puppy: “Sit! Stay!” When memories are truly savored, they are stored and remain wired in your brain for the rest of your life. “Doses” of brainhealthy neurochemicals are expressed and flow during that sunset as multiple memories are permanently encoded in your brain. As

you invest those leisurely yet focused moments, minutes, or maybe even hours of your time, your brain’s neurochemical laboratory will be delivering valuable compounds that cascade through your brain and body. The glow from those sunset-triggered chemicals then linger in your system after the actual experience ends through what is called the neurochemical cascade effect. Whenever you retrieve that stored memory, the same chemicals flow again! There’s even more good news from Dr. Richard Davidson and his team at the University of Wisconsin. They were looking at how much emotion was involved in savoring something enjoyable and how long those emotions endure. Research revealed that protracted activation of a brain region called the ventral striatum is directly linked to sustaining positive emotions and reward. And what did Davidson’s team select as their “something enjoyable” that they would test? Sunsets! They used the viewing of beautiful sunsets to

Savor the marvelous, oh-so-gradual color changes the next time you stop your life to behold a sunset and create a brain-healthy moment. link the igniting and sustaining of those feelings and perhaps directly cause the flow of those positive, brain-healthy neurochemicals to be expressed. Their conclusion: You generate those beneficial chemicals when you really focus on that sunset and extend those benefits when you linger. Even a focused investment of a “smidgen” of your time counts as one of those positive, brain-healthy moments. Savoring cannot be outsourced. It’s a D.I.Y. investment that that will, if done properly, pay dividends throughout your life. But savoring can be learned, practiced, and even mastered. Martin Seligman, author of Flourish: A Visionary New Understanding of Happiness and Well-Being, advises that “practicing the technique of savoring intensifies and lengthens positive emotion. That makes for wonderful days and afterglows.” One of my own “sunset afterglows” began in June of 2003. As part of a clinical trial, I savored a summer solstice with 15 wonderful mature minds. A newspaper photo captured and shared the

final moment that the sun’s direct rays disappeared over the Coast Range. As ladies lined up facing west began looking back at me, as if to ask, “OK. Now what?” I smiled and said, “What are you looking at? The sunset is that way. It just began and now you don’t even have to squint.” For nearly an hour, we sat in the Ankeny Game Refuge savoring the marvelous, oh-so-gradual color changes. Then I learned a new term that I added to my Neurolexicon. Georgia pointed out a part of the sky and said, “That’s a perfect blue-sky pink.” “A perfect what?” I asked. She explained that her family would often stop whatever they were doing and “just sit” together to enjoy a sunset. As the evening sky’s palette gently colored the clouds, the kids would search and search until one of them saw that first swath of blue-sky pink. I suddenly realized as I looked up that blue sky pink is like no other color. Since the evening, I’ve never savored a sunset without searching for a glimpse of Georgia’s blue-sky pink. So, the next time you stop your life to behold a sunset, wait for it. You’ll know it when you see it and your mind will react with a loud and clear “a-ha!” Final question: What is your favorite sunset…of your entire life…so far? If you have more than one, please continue thinking until you narrow it down to that one, maybe with that one person. Is it a view from a tropical island beach? From the Oregon Coast? Don’t rush your answer! Is it from Timberline Lodge or while camping in the Cascades? Once you’ve got it, those golden memories are ready to be mined. The digging begins with the re-activation of your ventral striatum by focusing, really focusing on that single sunset. If you were in an imaging machine right now, we’d see your brain lighting up as it reconnects with those gold-plated moments you encoded years or decades ago. Or as Dr. Bryant offers, “Time is less likely to fly when one is aware that one is having fun, that is, when one is savoring.” Happy brain-healthy savoring! –Roger Anunsen WM

MELT For Your Brain We hear a lot these days about mind/body exercise, but what does this really mean, and how can you help your mind and body connect to each other? The MELT Method® (MELT®) is a simple self-treatment that reduces chronic pain and helps you make the connection between your body and your brain. New research has revealed the missing link to pain-free living is a balanced nervous system and healthy connective tissue. These two components work together to provide your body with support and optimal mindbody communication. Improving the communication between our sensory nerves and our conscious brain will improve health in a number of ways including improving balance, improving awareness of alignment, and helping to prevent injury. Spend an hour with MELT Method at 3 p.m. Monday, Sept. 11 or Tuesday, Sept. 26 to learn how to stimulate and rehydrate your connective tissue system and improve the mind/body connection with instructors Sandy McQueen and Jean Leavenworth. The cost is $32. Both sessions cover the same material. WE911 (Sept. 11) WE926 (Sept. 26) WM SEPTEMBER 2017

WELLNESS

Brain and Body Connection: Using Rhythm and Movement B

rain & Body Connection is a rhythm class that’s a little like a meditation, but with movement, laughter, flow and even some chaos mixed in. A drummer keeps a slow beat, and a leader invites the participants to speak syllables with the rhythm, to add steps, then claps and, eventually, call and response. The call and response is sometimes on the beat, sometimes off. So it’s a juggling act between the brain and the body to keep everything straight. All the while, each “journey” revolves around a life question, such as, What does it mean to embody rhythm? How do we experience space? Can we feel confusion and order at the same time? Mary Kogen has been leading these workshops for almost 20 years, working with all kinds of people, including seniors, choirs, music educators, students and even prisoners. Join Kogen at 6 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 28, for a presentation on how using rhythm and movement creates an instant connection to our brain, enhancing cognitive function and coordination. Then, join Kogen again at 11 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 30 for the Brain & Body Connection class. Both are free. Brain & Body Connection is no stranger at MAC. Kogen most recently worked with a group of teens in MAC’s Dance program. One teen had done it before, and suggested to the others: “Focus

on what you’re doing, but don’t be mad when you mess up, because you will.” Participants get a new sense of what embodied rhythm is, a new experiencing of balance, and also a deepened sense of self-acceptance. “This brought out emotions I didn’t even know were there,” one senior said. Another man said, “I got to see in myself what are the impulses, resistances and agreements that arise in me.” There also is a sense of community and sharing that comes from making mistakes together: “I had the support of the group. When I was lost, the others showed me the way.” “There’s something very soothing. It brought an ancient memory of connection,” one participant said. “The feeling it created was of joining in on a vibration that was very healing.” Another Brain & Body Connection participant stated: “For me, it was a new idea that chaos could be welcomed. Not only welcomed, but celebrated. That for me is transformative.” If you like the idea of meditation for your mind and want a way to use your body plus have fun as well, try Brain & Body Connection.

A Brain-Boosting Supplement

I

n the past, I’ve written several articles on brain health, but I’ve never written about ginkgo biloba, a supplement that is being considered as a possible treatment for cognitive decline. The complimentary and integrative health field is growing in popularity and, therefore, the use of supplements for treating disease or improving overall health has increased. Interestingly, in the United States, supplements are out of the jurisdiction of the Food and Drug Administration, which means there is no standardized dosing nor universal understanding of efficacy. In addition, the FDA issues no opinions on claims of validity or potential side effects. However, ginkgo has a very long history in medicinal use in China and Japan. And in Europe, ginkgo is a medicine available by prescription. Regardless of how it is used around the globe, over the past 20 years in the United States and elsewhere, research has suggested that, at the very least, ginkgo may have an important role in the treatment of cognitive decline. Animal studies and preclinical research on its use have shown improved blood flow and brain glucose concentrations (brain fuel). These properties may protect the brain against

2. In a mixing bowl, combine tomato sauce and browned meat. In a separate mixing bowl, combine ricotta or cottage cheese and 2 tablespoons mozzarella. Set both aside.

Learn how to cook a brain boosting meal for one. The main macronutrient that fuels the brain is glucose. Among glucose, many different micronutrients are great for brain health as well. But more importantly with brain health and nutrition is that when we eat for one we tend to not eat as healthy because many recipes are not made to fuel just one body. Since zucchini is in season in Oregon, from June through October, and is a great source of micronutrients like Vitamin A and C, I have included a zucchini lasagna recipe for one. The glucose in the tomato sauce also helps fuel the brain.

dementia caused from ischemia or low blood flow to the brain. Additional studies have shown that the chemical constituents of ginkgo have inhibited platelet aggregation and have improved blood flow. In addition, bilobalide, which is one of the chemical compounds in ginkgo, appears to show the greatest potential for neuroprotection. Another randomized, controlled trial of 404 outpatients with some form of dementia or cognitive decline found that (after 24 weeks of a daily dosage of 240 mg of ginkgo extract) there was a significant improvement in cognitive functioning and neuropsychiatric symptoms in mild to moderate dementia. Finally, research has shown that ginkgo biloba has minimal toxicity risk and is generally well tolerated. However, it is important to note that no research has shown reversal of dementia or Alzheimer’s disease with its use. I would recommend that anyone with concerns about their brain health discuss the use of ginkgo, as an adjunct to therapy, with their doctor. Questions, concerns, suggestions can be directed my way at lnelson@themac.com –Dr. Lindsey Nelson WM

he MAC Climbing Team reached new heights in competition this year, capping off its season by sending three athletes to the 2017 Youth World Championships in Innsbruck, Austria. It has been a stellar year for the team at all levels of competition, says MAC Climbing Head Coach Drew White. “It’s really rewarding as a coach to see those kids get the opportunity to represent MAC at the national level and compete and climb against the best kids in the country,” he said. “For some of our kids to be able to compete against the best in the world, it’s pretty amazing.” At the end of August, MAC climbers Sonja Johanson, 17, Emma Wetsel, 14, and Brett Walker, 18, flew to Innsbruck, a city in the Austrian Alps best known for hosting the 1964 and 1976 Winter Olympics. The Youth World Championships kicked off on Aug. 30 and continues through Sept. 10. This is the third straight year MAC has sent climbers to the world championships. Walker, who also competed in the world championships in China last year, said he is more excited than nervous. “Everybody is on the same playing field, and there’s higher pressure in some ways because there are so many athletes from different Continued on page 56

The MAC Climbing team traveled to Atlanta, Georgia for the Sport and Speed Youth National Championships in July.

Climbing Continued from page 54 places,” he says. “It’s always fun meeting people and seeing so many great athletes in one place.” The team kicked off its season at the regional championships on May 13 in Bend, where MAC climbers won the team competition in sport and speed climbing. This is the sixth year in a row the team has taken the top spot in these disciplines. In June, 28 MAC climbers competed at the divisional championships in Anchorage, Alaska, and 14 earned invites to nationals by placing in the top six in their division. The divisional competition featured more than 20 youth climbing teams from Oregon, Washington and Alaska. The MAC Climbing Team placed second overall. Team captain Tori Siegel says one of the highlights of her season was achieving her long-term goal of winning a divisional championship in sport climbing. She said one of the best feelings is being cheered on by her teammates while topping a difficult route. “I love the team dynamic,” she said. “It feels like a big family.” Next, it was off to Atlanta, Georgia, for the Sport and Speed Youth National Championships in July. Of the 14 MAC climbers who traveled to Atlanta (16 qualified but two could not make the trip), seven advanced to the semifinals in speed climbing, and two competed in finals. Anyi Guerreiro placed seventh in the country in speed climbing and Wetsel took fourth in the nation and made the U.S. National Climbing Team. In sport climbing, six of 10 MAC climbers advanced to the semifinals, and Walker made it to the finals. Seigel placed 13th overall in

sport, and Walker took fifth in competition and made the national team in sport climbing for the first time. Walker finished a route that only two other climbers completed, and was tied for first place going into the semifinals. “That weekend, as a whole, was some of the best climbing I’ve ever had,” he said. In the Male C category, which consists of 11- and 12-year-olds, MAC climbers Caden Reedy, Jack Urness and Aidan Schenk each finished in the top 15 in sport climbing. White added that multiple MAC speed climbers broke their personal best times at nationals. Overall, the MAC Climbing Team finished the competition ranked 14th in the nation. “In terms of success, we’ve put more people in semifinals than we have ever before,” White said. “We also had more top-10 placements than ever before.” Adding to the team’s accolades, Johanson competed in the Canadian Youth Championships in Montreal, Quebec. Johanson, who holds a dual citizenship, placed first in speed climbing, posting the fastest time at the competition. Although this year is one of the most successful in memory, fifth-year coach White said the sky is the limit regarding the team’s potential. “We had multiple younger climbers who overachieved and put themselves in a good position to potentially be among the best in the country next year,” he said. “I feel like we’re just scratching the surface of our potential. We really appreciate the club supporting our athletes and coaches as we represent the MAC both regionally and nationally.” –Kevin Gaboury WM

PERSONAL TRAINING Having a personal trainer oversee your program, monitor your progress and make regular updates is an investment in your health and wellness worth making!

Want Results? Mix Up Your Routine H

ave you been performing the same strength and conditioning program for a while now? Is your current program getting dull? It’s time to mix it up! There are many different types of workouts, but to create the perfect resistance training program, you need variety. A program may be perfect today, may be perfect today, but in four to eight weeks, will be less effective. This is due to the overload principle – a training principle that you must understand in order to experience ongoing results. When you first begin exercising, your body is exposed to a stimulus that it’s not accustom to and be forced to respond in a positive fashion with an improvement in your fitness level. This is called a physical adaptation, which means that your body has structurally, biomechanically and physiologically improved. But simultaneous with the physical adaptation is a physical plateau that many people experience. In order to experience ongoing results, the body must be stressed or stimulated to a greater degree or with at least a different fashion. We know that the body needs to be challenged in order to progress. This overload principle can be adhered to by changing your program in a variety of different ways. For example, you could: • Increase the resistance (with proper form!) • Increase the number of sets you perform

60 | The Wınged M |

SEPTEMBER 2017

• Increase the number of days of strength training • Add variety in your exercises • Adjust the sequence of exercises • Increase your volume of training • Adjust the amount of recovery time you take between exercises. • Use a different resistance training technique, for example, superset training, pyramid training, pre-exhaust training, circuit training, etc. This is where investing in a personal trainer will save you time and help you achieve your fitness goals! Some people see their trainer one or two times per week, but even once a month or once every other month can make a difference. It will help you stay in the flow of working out and your trainer will make the necessary changes required for you to see continued results. According to the International Health and Fitness Association, only 25 percent of people working out in a gym get the results they want. But out of the 25 percent of people getting results, 90 percent of them are working with a personal trainer. Having a personal trainer oversee your program, monitor your progress and make regular updates is an investment in your health and wellness worth making!

WALKING AND HIKING View of Oregon Coast Range from Saddle Mountain, one of the featured hikes in James D. Thayers book, below.

Explore the Trails and Stories of the Oregon Coast Range T

he Walking and Hiking committee invites all to join Portland author James D. Thayer at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 12, as he tells of his seven-year effort to survey a walking route from Portland to the Pacific Coast. In his presentation, Thayer shares stories, legends and folklore from his new book, Hiking from Portland to the Coast – An Interpretive Guide to 30 Trails. It’s the first guidebook to explore many remote routes through Oregon’s North Coast mountains. Trails covered in this new guide range from easy-to-access loops to remote logging roads. Some of the most well-known are segments of the Salmonberry Trail, the Tillamook State Forest trail network, and even some private trails in Columbia County. Most, however, have never been covered by any trail guide. A few of the routes are amenable to mountain biking. The book and presentation are as much about stories as about hiking trails. In the book, each trail is accompanied by a local story that helps us understand the nature of the places through which our travels take us.

62 | The Wınged M |

SEPTEMBER 2017

In his evening presentation, Thayer presents a scholarly account of the region’s Chinookan culture, and the devastation wrought by the introduction of diseases by early trappers and traders. He also shares personal stories of pioneers who penetrated the Coast Range’s convoluted wilderness, and the exploits of loggers, bullwhackers and their railroading partners. The talk is accompanied by Thayer’s original photos taken during his multiyear trek. Join Thayer for a 2.35-mile, easy, interpretive hike in the Coast Range, at the Vedanta Retreat in Scappoose at 8 a.m. Tuesday, Sept. 12. Owned by the Vedanta Society of Portland, a school of Hindu philosophy, the trail’s wooden shrines are dedicated to many of the world’s major religions. See The Journey for details and registration information. Enlarged topographic maps can be purchased on Thayer’s website at www.foresthiker.com. Join MAC hikers for either or both of these entertaining and educational romps though the Coast Range. – Suzanne Zarling

SYNCHRO

Synchro Coaches Shine at International Competitions M

AC Synchro Head Coach Lucie Svrcinova won a silver medal at Masters World Championships in Budapest, Hungary, in August, one of three international tournaments MAC coaches attended over the summer. The first of these competitions started with the Synchro America Open held in East Meadow, New York, in June. This meet was one of seven competitions in the inaugural World Series of Synchronized Swimming. The other countries which hosted the World Series competitions this year included; France, China, Japan, Canada, Spain and Uzbekistan. More than 130 elite synchronized swimmers from 13 countries were in attendance at the Synchro America Open. King is an international FINA judge and attended as one of the U.S. representative judges. King said that it was a “great competition showing amazing athletes from around the world; including the 2016 Olympic duets from the USA, Spain and Canada. The USA Synchro organization put on a well-organized and friendly competition. For many of these countries this was the last chance to compete and get feedback from the judges prior to the FINA World Championships in August.” After New York, King flew to Bari, Italy to attend the 13-15 Italian Championships in early July.. King was selected as the U.S. representative judge to attend with the Walnut Creek Aquanuts, a club team from California. It was her responsibility to be

64 | The Wınged M |

the official from the USA to attend the judge’s meetings and represent the USA in the judging arena. King stated it was a “wonderful experience to see Italy’s 13-15 championships. I came away with great perspective on the younger swimmers and ideas for the MAC juniors in the future.” In August, Svrcinova traveled to FINA World Masters competition in Budapest, Hungary as an athlete and observer. She competed in the 40-49 solo event in a field of 29 solos representing 15 countries; many of whom were previous national team swimmers in their younger years. Svrcinova was tied for first with a soloist from Russia after the technical event. In the free event, Svrcinova pulled off a stellar performance, swimming to Skinny Love by Birdy to win a silver medal with a final score of 148.025. For Svrcinova who grew up in the Czech Republic, it was a chance to see many old friends and competitors from other European countries and she noted how the competition felt more relaxed than it did 20 years ago when she was swimming in the junior and senior categories. It was also a chance to talk to others about Portland and represent the MAC club. The competition was not all work and no play, Svrcinova had time to sightsee and attend social events with people from other countries. She stated that “Masters competitions have the whole package; hard work and good swimming combined with some fun. She feels that this helps to promote longevity and reduce burnout.”

SEPTEMBER 2017

Lucie Svrcinova

The MAC synchronized swimming program is a dedicated group of junior and masters swimmers. Both squads have competed internationally in the past, most recently, in April, the junior squad traveled to Toronto, Canada. Although the competition in the USA is fierce, it is always beneficial to see other countries compete. Svrcinova said, “it is really great to see other countries coaching and choreography styles.” The junior synchro program is getting ready for the 2017-2018 season. For information on the junior or masters synchro programs, contact head coach, Lucie Svrcinova at 503-517-7513. WM

Remembering Scott Baldwin This summer brought some sad news: Longtime squash superstar Scott Baldwin Smith, 53, died from lung cancer on July 22, at his home in Southeast Portland. Scott was a history professor at Linfield College and leaves behind his wife Lisa Hay, and their daughters Sarah, 24, and Hannah, 22. As Nigel Nicholson put it so eloquently in Reed Magazine, “Scott was a fixture in the Portland squash scene until injuries limited his playing and opened the way for cycling to take center stage in his sporting life. Everyone enjoyed playing with him, and in the close confines of a squash court, where the players continued on page 70

O’Shea swam a shy 0.2 off her best in 100 Backstroke, and swam a personal best in 50 Backstroke.

The 16- and 17-year-old team swimmers were Saffron Du, Phoebe Frank, Jamie Kojiro, Greta Miller, Andrea Percic, Ella Stone Feldman, and Nadia Vondeling. The incredible results didn’t stop there, though. The 11- and 12-year-old team and duet competitors also placed the highest they have ever placed before. The 11-12 team took eighth place for the team event and fifth for the duet. Although synchronized swimming began in the early 1900s, it didn’t get Olympic recognition until 1984 when the United States took home the gold. Since then, the sport’s popularity has skyrocketed. These swimmers have proven their determination, strength and ability to get as far as they have this year, and we couldn’t be more proud. Great job, swimmers.

WATER VOLLEYBALL

New Coed Water Volleyball Group Water volleyball is laughter, fun and exercise all rolled into one. The MerryMacs (ladies water volleyball) and the Polar Bears (men’s water volleyball) are now a coed water volleyball committee. Why water volleyball? “Because it’s aerobics without the routine. Because it’s one team against another in exhilarating competition. Because it leaves you upbeat instead of just beat. And because a one hour to 90 minutes in the pool makes aching muscles feel good again.” It’s easy to play, no experience is needed, and the water is never over your head. If you need exercise (we all do), like to have fun (we all do) and don’t have a great deal of athletic prowess (we all don’t), come to the West Pool. Play times for the fall are 10:30 a.m.-noon Mondays and Wednesdays and noon–1:30 p.m. Fridays in the West Pool. Everyone is welcome. Yearly activities include tournaments, summer picnic, holiday parties, and out of club competition. For more information, contact the Athletic Services at 503-517-7525. –Dinda Mills
