ON THE COVER MAC’s founders likely never could have dreamed of what a family-friendly place the club has become. With thousands of teens counting them-selves as members, The Winged M asks them what ameni-ties they would like

to see, and what they want their club to be like in the future, when they are in their parents’ shoes. Left to right, Katie Malueg, Caleb Spiro, Lily Graham and Tim Malueg. Photos by Tim Gunther.

but get to know your fellow members when you sit around at an all-day swim meet or volleyball tournament. Kids’ programs are important to members because they build lifetime habits, lifetime relationships, and a connection to the club. And, MAC’s junior program is one of the most-cited reasons lottery applicants give for wanting to join.

Benefits the club brings to juniorsThe club offers sports and activities for

kids not necessarily interested in or able to participate in club or school sports, as well as providing a safe place for kids to hang out, complete homework, eat with mom and dad, and spend time exercising together or just shooting hoops. The Winged M asked junior members, “What do you want the club to be when you grow up,” and almost every junior who responded wants to bring their kids here in the future.

There are not very many places that offer juniors the ability to interact with adults, where they see first-hand positive role models and the result of good lifestyle choices. Watching Bud Lewis interact with juniors in the late evenings in the Exercise and Conditioning Room is fabulous.

Can we improve the junior club experi-ence? Yes, and the club has several projects being considered and reviewed at this time, including:

• An ad hoc teen programming com-mittee, chaired by Board Secretary Gwen Farnham, has been charged with develop-ing recommendations detailing how we can better serve our teenage population.

• Reviewing rules pertaining to juniors, like the current limitations on evening use by teenagers.

• Exploring a better-dedicated space where juniors can study and socialize.

• Reviewing options to improve the Junior Weight Room.

• Looking for ways to include more juniors in social programs, Family Fridays and junior dances. Are there more opportu-nities to develop other activities, especially during non-peak hours?

• Improving information and access to personal trainers for juniors. We have great trainers ready to work with your kids, and they are open to creating small group programs.

• Exploring new ways to communicate with kids who do not read The Winged M or printed material. WM

A s you have noted that my last

column lacked any MAC Facts. Since this column is about junior members, let us start with some statistics:

• The club has 3,721 juniors (age 7 thru 17), which represent 21.6 percent of the resident membership. Of those juniors, 64 percent, or 2,394, are between the ages of 12 and 17.

• Juniors involved in MAC competitive sports teams (not recreational club sports): basketball, 120; dance, 25; gymnastics, 105; karate, 10; OAP/climbing, 24; ski, 95; squash, 15; swimming, 165; synchro, 50.

• We have hundreds of other juniors who participate in our recreational and club sports programs.

We are often asked what makes MAC successful. There are several factors, but many of us attribute it to our: athletic facili-ties and programs; broad offering of social facilities and programs; broad junior pro-gram, from competitive athletics to daycare; and the committee system.

MAC is one of very few clubs fortunate enough to have all four of those compo-nents. This generates a very strong demand to join and remain a member of the club.

What is the value in having robust junior programs?

Most junior member energy is positive and enthusiastic. The club has fewer disci-plinary issues with juniors than adults!

Junior use of the club is often during off-peak hours, late afternoons, evenings, weekends, and, of course, over the summer. This maximizes the use of the facility and staff. With the aforementioned junior com-petitive teams, we can afford to have high-quality coaches on staff, allowing senior members access to professionals that might not otherwise be available.

In order to maintain a thriving athletic program, the club must have and nourish a junior component. In my personal experi-ence, after my kids started skiing, I eventu-ally began participating on the adult team. Many parents begin to use the club more, both socially and athletically, while waiting for children to finish an activity.

Junior programs are a huge driver of adult member interaction. You cannot help

PRESIDENT’S COLUMN

Carl Burnham IIIPRESIDENT


At spring break I enjoyed time with

my family while on vacation, but the club was not far from my thoughts. Some of my best columns are writ-ten while on vacation.

Our vacation took us on a Caribbean cruise. Like our club, the ship was full of non-stop activities, with a lot of buzzing around by passengers. The staff was attentive, looking after more than 3,000 passengers around the clock, feeding everyone three meals a day or more. The nearly 1,000 staff looked professional in their dress whites and resort wear from nations around the world. It’s good to spend time away, learning what others do well and bringing new ideas home to the club. It’s also great to know our club has many great ideas that are well-executed and cannot be easily duplicated.

I heard a fellow passenger saying to another passenger that his family was making memories while on holiday. My family had the same wish. As we went about making memories one night, we met a couple from Canada who were an inspira-tion to our family. Michele and Adele were the cutest couple, and talked to our 18-year-old twins about their children and how they encouraged them to make good choices. They shared the story of how Michele almost died at age 30, spending months in a hospital and two years recovering. His doctor insisted he take disability for the rest of his life, which he fought so he could carry out his desire to not take the easy way out. I know our children had a memorable moment that will last a lifetime.

One interesting thing about a cruise is watching passengers getting comfortable with their starboard versus port and forward versus aft. Most impressive is watching passengers getting to know one another in seven short days. In some cases, long-lasting friendships are gained through getting to know one another in 113,000-ton ships.

Our club has 21,000 members and our staff is international. Our members join the club to exercise, condition and to stay in ship shape. Members want to make memo-ries for their well-being, and families grow closer through the activities that we strive

to offer for everyone’s enjoyment. Our club had, on average, more than 3,300 members transverse the facilities daily during the first quarter of this year, growing year over year by approximately three percent. Our club is diverse in activities too numerous to recite without taking up the rest of my column. Our new members and many long-term members struggle to learn their way around our 610,000 square feet of club. But the most impressive part of our club is the meaningful lifelong friendships established while participating in events here.

I have challenged our directors and they have challenged me to always be at our best. Our job is complex and our ship is large and difficult to turn; however, we strive to make the changes you want as members, and that we as staff know make our club a better place. While we have avoided rough seas in recent years, smooth sailing is never a given. We plan for the future to ensure our membership remains engaged, com-mitted, involved and passionate about their club. We have our strengths and work on our weaknesses.

We have listened to our members and received extra funding to add classes to a very busy studio schedule. We have added spinning classes and weekend and evening Zumba classes with more classes added after Labor Day. The Athletic Excellence sub-committee has surveyed our membership and is working with the Athletic Committee and management to set a baseline whereby we can improve upon our athletic programs where necessary and enhance facilities, staff-ing and programming as soon as we can.

This month truly begins summer in Oregon. I am hopeful you and your family can find time to make long-lasting and meaningful memories. The summer is a great time to watch the family grow and to enrich friendships or make new ones with fellow members and guests. Enjoy time together. At the club we have more activities than ever before, opportunities to become quicker, more agile, faster and stronger; learn a new sport or become better in a sport.

Make memories all summer long!And finally, I’d like to say thanks

executive assistant Julie Yocum for all her memorable work. We wish her well as she leaves MAC to join the Oregon Zoo as executive assistant to the zoo director. WM

A t the time this edition of The

Winged M arrives at your door, I will be finishing a family vacation away from the club. Summer is typically a time of vacation for many of us. Vacation can be defined in many ways. One way is as a period of time devoted to rest or recreation. In that sense, just about any time at MAC could be a vacation, as you can focus on athletics and recreation here on a regular basis. Another definition for vacation is a respite or time of respite from something. Given that perspective, you may take a respite from the club and travel or explore other activities as your vacation; or you may choose a combination of the two by taking some time away from the club and exploring something new at the club the rest of that time. Whichever way you choose to define and experience it, I hope you enjoy your summer vacation(s), and want you to know we are still here for you, whether it is your vacation or your return from vacation.

For member grandparents and non-family club members with children who might like to have their non-member grandchild or child spend some of their vacation time at MAC this summer, the House Committee and Board of Trustees have approved a pilot program to allow just that through August. You may now register a non-member child or grand-child for a camp or class at MAC. There is a non-member surcharge and you may only register them after members have had the opportunity to register for at least one week. Should you have any questions, please call the admin in the department hosting the camp or class in which you are interested.

I look forward to seeing you around the club this month, unless you choose to take some time off or change your routine as part of your vacation this summer. WM

MAC tennis players dominated the Oregon State Athletics Association Tennis Championships in May. The 6A girls finals bracket was made up entirely of MAC members, with Jesuit senior Erin Larner win-ning her second consecutive championship, beating member

Bess Waldrum in the final. Members Cam Kincaid

and Arianna

Fardanesh finished third and fourth, respectively.

The 6A boys were nearly as dominant, with MAC scholar ath-lete and Lincoln High sophomore Goutham Sundaram winning his second consecutive state title. Jesuit sophomore Connor Leahy, who won a doubles title last year, finished second, while Avi Vemuri was third. MAC’s 6A boys mem-bers were also represented in the doubles category, with Sunset senior Brian McKittrick and

his partner winning a title, and member Tommy

Mulflur and part-ner finishing second.

MAC boys were also dominant at the 4A level. Oregon

Episocpal School’s Matt Sipowicz won a title, while member MacGregor Beatty was second. In 4A doubles, members Kevin Haugh and Josh Yuan won a state title, while member Evan Hallmark and partner took second.

Among 4A girls, Cassy Lematta and her partner won a state doubles title.

Other MAC members who fared well at state include Darby Rosette and Sarah Murphy, who were second in the 6A girls dou-bles bracket; Dylan King, who won the 6A consolation bracket; Sarah Shattuck, who took fourth in girls doubles at the 6A level; Rachel Nedrow, who took fourth at the 4A level; and Jennifer Rubinstein, who won 4A consola-tion doubles with her partner.

Rock Climbing Wall Highlights Summer Construction

The club undertakes several facility improvements this summer that may

cause temporary disruptions to some parts of the club.

The largest project is the renovation of the current Rock Climbing Wall and con-struction of a new bouldering wall in the East Gym. Both the climbing wall and East Gym close on Monday, July 22, and remain closed during the six- to eight-week project.

The East Athletic elevator (#2), located across from 26 Founders, also closes for modernization from mid-August through October. The other elevator remains open. The elevators were built in 1968 and significant repairs have taken them out of service periodically in recent years.

During August, MAC begins a project to relocate the Junior Sports Offices to the West Gym; OAP offices remain in the same spot. The resurfacing of the Indoor Track also takes place starting the second week in August. The project is expected to last for four weeks, and the track remains closed during that time. WM

How MAF Can Help Members

There is no question that MAC mem-bers provide tremendous support

to the Multnomah Athletic Foundation through the annual request for a $15 con-tribution in your billing statement.

How can we provide a service or oppor-tunity for you? Here are some ideas:

Be a connector. Let us know about your favorite nonprofit, perhaps it fits in our funding guidelines. We want to be proactive in find-ing community non-profits in order to provide funding support. visit theMAF.org for guidelines and a list of recently supported non-profits. www.themaf.com.

Participate in a foundation event. We have an increasing number of events that raise funds and/or increase awareness of MAF. A fun opportunity for the entire family is the Portland Marathon on Sunday, Oct. 6. MAF has a water station along the route.

Celebrate a life, note an important mile-stone, or provide a memorial. We can assist you with this. Contact Lisa Bendt at [email protected]

Donate stock or assets or include MAF in your will. We can provide assistance.

Contribute to an existing endowment fund. Just let us know, we’re happy to help.

Create a new endowment fund with MAF directly or through the Oregon Community Foundation to help support your favorite ath-letic activity at MAC. We encourage you to consider this option and can assist you in making it a reality. An endowment in your name or that of another athlete will enrich that sport in perpetuity.

We look forward to finding out how we can help you. We want the emails to ping and the phones to ring.

Nonresident family member William A. Barber died April 6, 2013. He

was 78. He joined MAC in 1972.Senior family member Dr. Michael

Toner Hope Brodeur died April 25 after a battle with cancer. He was 83.

Physician, runner, sailor, avid bird watcher, ice and mountain climber, family man and devoted husband, Michael was born in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, Dec. 8, 1929, and never sat down. As the oldest of four brothers, he was a leader and risk taker. Michael attended Trinity College School in Ontario, Canada, where his competitive juices flourished as both an accomplished squash player and scholar (except Latin!). He graduated from McGill University and McGill Medical School.

He moved his family from Montreal to Sherbrooke, Quebec, and from Sherbrooke to Portland in pursuit of his passion for medicine, in particular, cardi-ology. Sight unseen, the move to Portland in 1963 was a one-year commitment that lasted the rest of his life. As an avid golfer and tennis player, he belonged to Waverly Country Club and MAC. While in private practice at Marquam Medical Clinic, he became chairman of the medi-cal staff at St. Vincent’s, City of Roses and Holladay Park hospitals. After decades of private practice, he retired for two weeks, and then against all advice, he opened Sellwood Medical Clinic in January 2003. Housed in the historic Sellwood build-ing, his medical clinic is thriving, and his legacy lives on through compassionate care of the community at the clinic for generations to come.

Michael is survived by his beauti-ful wife, Ruth; daughters, Penelope and husband David Hannegan, Mimi and husband Richard S. Legro, and Lisa and husband Michael Whitlock; and eight grandchildren.

He was preceded in death by his mother, Nora Belle Hope; and father, Alphonse Toner Hope Brodeur.

Contributions in Michael’s memory may be made to the Providence/St. Vincent Medical Foundation, 9205 S.W. Barnes Rd., Portland, OR 97235.

Senior family preferred member Joyle Cochran Dahl died with his family by his side on April 29 in Los Angeles following a two-month illness. He was 77.

Joyle Cochran Dahl was born in Oakland, Calif. on Oct. 5, 1935 to Judge Carl A. Dahl and Jane V. Dahl. He moved to Portland as an infant and attended Alameda Elementary and Grant High Schools. He graduated from the University of Oregon and received a bach-elor of law degree from the University of Oregon School of Law in 1959. He went to work for the Department of Justice in Washington, D.C., then returned to school, earning a master of laws degree from New York University.

He returned to Portland in 1964 and practiced with several law firms. In 1984, he joined Scwabe, Williamson and Wyatt, where he remained until his retirement in 2011. Joyle was an avid athlete and excelled at many sports, including hand-ball, softball, baseball and golf. He was also an ardent follower of his beloved Oregon Ducks. He was a member of the MAC, Waverley Country Club, Astoria Golf Club, Oregon Golf Club and Thunderbird Country Club in Rancho Mirage, Calif. A talented musician, he excelled on piano and loved to entertain family and friends. In 1959, he married his high school sweetheart, Dawn Adele Wood, to whom he was married for 54 years. They have two children, Brenda Dahl (husband, Robert Flatland) of San Rafael, Calif., and Peter Dahl of Portland. He is also survived by a sister, Kathleen Scanlan of Walnut Creek, Calif.

The family suggests remembrances to the Providence St. Vincent Medical Foundation Heart and Vascular Program; the University of Oregon School of Law; Friends of the Children, Portland; and Self Enhancement, Inc. of Portland.

Senior family member Robert W. Gibson was born on November 8, 1945 and passed away on Sunday, May 5. He was 67.

Senior preferred member Margaret Ruth Groening died peacefully in her sleep on April 22 in Portland. She was 94.

She was born Margaret Wiggum on March 23, 1919, in Chisolm, Minn., to Matt and Ingeborg Wiggum, who met on the boat coming to America from Norway. They settled in Everett, Wash., where the paper mill “smelled like money,” and Matt worked as a machinist. As high school valedictorian and Miss Everett, Margaret’s highest honor was being named May Queen of Linfield College. She graduated from Linfield in 1941 and married class-mate Homer Groening, whom she chose because he made her laugh the most.

Margaret taught high school English before starting a family, and her love of language was apparent in the many Double-Crostics she completed (in ink). Margaret and Homer supported the Oregon Symphony, the Portland Trail Blazers and many local yarn shops (Margaret was a talented needlework artist).

Besides Homer, Margaret was pre-ceded in death by her oldest daughter, Patty, who died in January 2013.

She is survived by her brother, Arnold; her children, Mark, Matt, Lisa and Maggie; eight grandchildren; and two great-grandchildren.

The family thanks the wonderful caregivers from Visiting Angels and the hospice nurses from Housecall Providers. Special appreciation also goes to loyal friend, Grace Clark.

Senior family member Frank J. Kurz died May 15 at Emanuel Hospital after experiencing a brain aneurysm. He was 61.

He was born on Jan. 17, 1952 in Oakland, Calif., to Stan and Anne Kurz. He graduated from Skyline High School (Oakland, Calif.) in 1969, completed his engineering degree at the University of California, Berkeley in 1973, married Mary Catherine Wilcox in 1974, gradu-ated from Baylor College of Medicine (Houston, Texas) in 1977, and completed his residency in Internal Medicine at OHSU (Portland, Oregon) in 1981. They have lived in Portland since his residency.

Frank started private practice in 1981 and helped form Cascade Physicians in

1992. He acted as president while enjoy-ing a full and rich practice. Frank had a zest for life. He met Mary on a high school ski team, which was the start-ing point of many shared activities and adventures, including traveling, cycling, windsurfing, kiteboarding, skiing and snowboarding. Frank and Mary shared a faith journey that brought joy and depth to their relationship and family. Frank loved his family, friends, colleagues and the many patients with whom he came into contact.

He is survived by his wife, Mary; his daughter and son-in-law, Catherine and Jacob Smith; his son, Michael Kurz; his sister, Jean Quirk; his brother, Edward Kurz; his sister, Karen Salm; and his 22 nieces and nephews.

Nonresident member Lawrence ‘Larry’ Meyers, passed away unexpectedly, on May 17, at home in Gearhart. He was 71.

Larry was born in Portland on Dec. 13, 1941, to Rosalie and Foster Meyers. He grew up in Portland and graduated from Cleveland High School in 1959, where he was a member of the National Honor Society and an outstanding sprinter on the school track team.

He attended Oregon State University, where he affiliated with Sigma Chi frater-nity, and graduated from the University of Oregon with a degree in education. After college, Larry served stateside as a lieutenant in the U.S. Army Military Police Corp. Larry began his career in the automotive industry by working at Riviera Motors in Beaverton, rising to vice presi-dent/general manager at the dealership. In 1980, he moved on to become presi-dent/general manager of Larry Meyers Porsche-Audi Inc.

During this time, Larry was appointed president of the Metro Portland Auto Dealers Association and elected president of the Portland Metropolitan Business Association. In 1989, Larry moved to Gearhart and recently retired from the State of Oregon Department of Transportation.

Larry also devoted his time and energy to a variety of civic and volunteer

activities, including his participation as board member/sponsor of the LPGA Portland Golf Tournament and appoint-ment as chairman of the March of Dimes Oregon Chapter. He particularly enjoyed his work with youth athletic programs at Boys Club of Portland Metropolitan Area and West Sylvan Grade School. Recently, his love of animals drew him to volunteer at Clatsop County Animal Shelter.

An avid tennis player, Larry was a member of The Racquet Club of Portland, where he won numerous tennis awards and championships. Larry enjoyed a huge following of friends from all walks of life and possessed a smile that drew people to him like a magnet. Those close to him will always remember his humor, generous spirit and humility. Larry was a real people person.

Larry is survived by his wife, Mary Donnelly Meyers; daughter, Kristina Geary and husband Frank; grandchildren, Knute and Hannah Geary; stepdaughters, Kirsten Larsen and Stephanie Allenbaugh and their families; and sister, Janet Terpstra and husband John.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to Clatsop County Animal Control and Shelter, 1315 SE 29th St, Warrenton, OR 97156.

Senior family member Patricia “Patty” Wogen Wathey experienced a peaceful death on April 30, surrounded by her family at home. She was 62.

She was born in Ames, Iowa on Sept. 17, 1950 to Joseph and Leone (Boyer) Wogen.

Patty graduated with a bachelors degree from the University of Oregon in 1972, where she was a Pi Beta Phi member and a cheerleader. On December 17, 1974 she married James Wathey in Redlands, Calif.; earlier that same year she graduated with a master’s degree in health education from Portland State University.

Patty taught at Mountain View Junior High School in Beaverton from 1974 to 1982. From 1982 on she was primarily a mother and a homemaker, yet she still found the time to author the book Mail Order Shopping in 1983. Patty loved quilts: making them, being a part of quilting groups – anything that was associated with them. In fact, she loved all kinds of

TWEENS AND TEENS CARE ONLY ABOUT THEMSELVES. RIGHT?

Some adults might think that way about MAC’s junior members, ages 11 to 19. Heck, many parents likely feel that way about their own teenagers.

But, talk to some junior members of the club, and it may be high time the adults get an attitude adjustment, instead of the other way around (cue the eye roll).

When asked at a recent Junior Events Committee meeting, “What do you want the club to be when you grow up?” sixth-grader Lily Graham of East Sylvan Middle School says, “I want to bring my kids and have dinner with friends.”

Emily Buchholz, a Cathedral School sixth grader, says: “I want it to be a good place to have fun with my kids.”

And Cloe Butler, a seventh-grader also at Cathe-dral, thinks similarly. “I want the club to be the place where, when I have a family, they go to work out and participate in activities.”

That’s some impressively long-term and unselfish thinking for middle schoolers. And the club’s decision-makers (some of them tweens and teens themselves) are trying to think equally long-term.

In addition to the already great opportunities for this demographic at MAC, updates and upgrades are afoot to keep the juniors as happy and involved as possible – now and into the future – when their kids will be in the shoes they’re wearing today.

ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENTJunior life at the club “is a huge passion for me,”

says MAC General Manager Norm Rich, currently in his sixth year at the helm. Reflecting on his own three kids, all of whom will be college students come fall, he adds, “When my juniors came to the club, they didn’t have as many facilities [as the kids do now].”

His son Max, who will play for the Harvard Crimson’s football team this fall, did not fit into the junior workout room’s contraptions six years ago, before he reached the minimum age to use the Exercise and Conditioning Room. “The equipment was smaller than his frame,” his dad says.

About five years ago, MAC President Carl Burnham III’s daughter found herself in a similar situation. Age 11 at the time, she blew out her knee during a club

MAC JUNIORS


ski team practice. Needing to take a break from the slopes and maintain her strength, she went to work out in the junior weight room, but it didn’t meet her needs. Barred from the E&C Room, her fitness options were limited, Burnham explains.

Years later, some related limitations still exist. Take, for instance, the dearth of recreation- or club-level sports, like basketball, soccer and gymnastics. Some MAC juniors say they’d like the option to participate on teams whose competitive level is less cut-throat than the clubs’. Or on those that don’t exist at MAC in the first place, such as club soccer or track and field.

“We want to stay relevant and be top-of-mind so that folks don’t go elsewhere” where such options exist, like 24-Hour Fitness, the Sunset Athletic Clubor Club Sport, Rich says.

And, he adds, space dedicated just for juniors at MAC is inadequate.

“Juniors are so important to me,” Rich says. “We need to serve that demographic better.”

CHANGES AFOOTAnd so revisions are in the offing.The Facilities Master Plan took into consideration

juniors’ needs, and many were met, such as turning the outdated MAC Snacks into the more-enticing and brightly lit Joe’s and overhauling the Junior Weight Room to provide better options for juniors.

Another Master Plan item, slated for completion this summer, is the addition of a bouldering wall in the East Gym and an expansion of the existing climbing wall, installed in 2003 and detailed in the June Winged M. This expanded facility offers more space for social-izing, and more options for MAC’s competitive climb-ing program, a group of juniors that won two regional championships this year.

It doesn’t take a child psychologist to tell you that the tween and teen set needs its space away from home to exercise its budding social selves and a safe environment in which to do so.

In that arena, too, MAC is one step ahead.“We try to incorporate the social angle into what

we do,” says Ed Stoner, the club’s director of athletics who, despite his title, is also committed to the social scene at MAC. His kids are in fourth and seventh grades and have tried their hands – and feet – at nearly every recreation class offered at MAC, including tennis, swimming, squash and gymnastics.

To that end, the club is working on creating a dedi-

MAC JUNIORS: WHAT DO YOU WANT YOUR CLUB TO BE?

cated space for juniors to socialize. And the efforts don’t end here. Indeed, explains Rich, “We’re looking at ways to put in more junior facilities generally.”

That’ll be music to the ears of many club juniors, including siblings Tim and Katie Malueg, Oregon Epis-copal School eighth- and 11th-graders, respectively. Fifth-generation club members, Tim and Katie have grown up at the club experiencing many athletic, so-cial and volunteer opportunities. From their start in Tiny Tots to their current athletic pursuits, they believe their time spent at MAC exposed them to a variety of sports enabling them to choose what they love to do.

Approaching her ninth year of competitive volleyball, Katie credits the club for igniting her interest. “I am grateful for MAC’s volleyball program and 12s teams, where I discovered my passion for the sport by learning the basics while having fun,” she says.

A multisport athlete, Tim can be found working out at MAC on a regular basis. This summer he’s partici-pating in several track and field meets, specializing in sprints and discus, as an unattached USATF athlete. Tim says, “I think it would be great if MAC established a recognized track and field club for all ages.”

During the summer months, both would like to see expanded Sun Deck Pool hours with the ability to invite guests to swim and hang out, playing ping pong under the Sun Deck Tent. Tim says, “I’d spend more time at the club during the summer if I could invite friends to the Sun Deck Pool without athletic guest restrictions.”

Caleb Spiro, another Al Tauscher Award winner who is heavily involved in the squash program, also sees room for improvement in the junior athletics arena. For the past four years, he has taken part in the Sunday family squash clinics, where experienced teens help out their younger or less-experienced counterparts. He would like to see that sort of peer-to-peer cooperation in other athletic arenas at MAC.

“Athletically, I think the club has a chance to be something really special, where a junior can walk in as a beginner and walk out of here as an elite athlete,” he says. “But I feel like kids really need support in athletics. The family clinics have significantly changed MAC squash. I feel like juniors do really well when they get the support of their peers. I’d like to see more programs like that.”

An ad hoc junior committee is also looking at ways to make the club better for young members, and has

Continued from page 23


made recommendations for a junior space that includes amenities like WiFi, lots of convenient power outlets, foosball, pool, air hockey, board games, cards, bowl-ing, pinball/arcade games, and a lot of snacks and beverages, and maybe desks, computers, TVs, video games and movies.

Both Tim Malueg and Spiro have suggested that a better place to do homework would be a bonus. They’re not allowed in the Library, but the Junior Lounge can be too noisy during peak hours.

“ I’d like a quieter spot to do homework,” Spiro says. “When I’m in the Junior Lounge, 80 percent of us are trying to do homework, but it can be loud.”

EXISTING AMENITIESWhile club administrators and involved members

are doing their best to make manifest such terrific – if not lofty – goals, there are already many amenities at MAC for its juniors.

Among the most popular is the teens’ chance to dress up and cut a rug together.

“I love the MAC dances,” says Graham, the East Sylvan student who competes on the synchronized swimming team and, outside MAC, plays soccer.

And Tully Bush, a seventh-grade Cathedral School student and MAC volleyball player, mirrors her fellow Junior Events Committee member. What does she like best about MAC? “Dances,” she says. And what’s been Bush’s favorite club moment? “The last dance of this school year.”

There’s a theme here. As there is among the club’s decision-makers. People like Member Events Manager Abby DenUyl recognize that today’s juniors are tomor-row’s senior members, one day bringing their own kids back to the place where they spent critical after-school and weekend time. And to keep members coming back, it’s critical to keep teens engaged.

“After eighth grade, we see a drop off in social activity with regards to teens,” DenUyl says. “We want to continue to engage this age group and are hopeful that with their help we will continue to create activities and events for them.”

It’s good to have goals; in the meantime the club is home to many happy juniors, such as Butler, the Cathedral School seventh grader and Junior Events Committee member. “The club is the constant place I can go to where I can find everything to do,” she says. WM

leyball program and 12s

teams, where I discovered my

Participants have a chance to win a trip to New York City

Journey around the world without leaving the club this summer, as MAC kicks off

a club-wide reading and activity program based on the novel Eighty Days, culminat-ing with a visit from the book’s author.

Matthew Goodman’s Eighty Days is a work of historical nonfiction that follows

the journeys of New York jour-nalists Nellie Bly and Elizabeth Bisland. In 1889, they set out in opposite directions – Bly on a steamboat and Bisland on a train – both in an attempt to circumnavigate the globe in 80 days. The dramatic race spanned 28,000 miles, capti-

vated the nation and changed their lives. Members may buy a hardcover copy of

the book for a reduced price of $10. Order the book by Friday, July 19. Members may pick up books in the lobby between 10 a.m.-7 p.m. on Wednesday, July 31, or in Member Services after that day.

Members who spend the month of August reading the book are rewarded with a host of events around the club that enrich the reading experience (see sidebar).

In conjunction with the event, Around the MAC passports are included in the August Winged M. Members get stamps for attending book-related events (members do not have to read the book to participate) and other activities around the club during August and September. Passport stamps are redeemed for tickets in a raffle, held on Sept. 26, when Goodman visits MAC. Members do not have to be present to win.

Prizes include the grand prize, a trip to New York City with a three-night stay at the New York Athletic Club and an $800 airline voucher; overnight stays at reciprocal clubs in North America; travel prizes; tickets to MAC social and athletic events/classes; wine dinners; Timbers/Thorns tickets; and

What Does the Arab Spring Mean for Israel and the Palestinians Today?Tuesday, July 23, 6:30-8 p.m.

For the past two years, political and social change have rocked the Arab world as democratic movements, protests, and in some cases, revolutions, have replaced longstanding authoritarian regimes. This presentation, by political scientist Mark Croatti, provides an update on which countries have seen the most recent turmoil and the greatest change. It also provides an analysis of how the unresolved status of the Palestinians has both affected the Arab Spring and been influenced by it. Croatti teaches comparative politics at George Washington University and is a visiting professor this spring at the University of Oregon.Quick Register ME340

For the last 10 years, ESM Group has been working with students and their families to unlock the myths that cloud college admis-sions with straight-talking, factual and timely information. ESM’s founder, Billy Downing, and a panel of college admis-sions experts address the trends in col-lege admissions and their effects on each student, the changing nature of athletic recruiting, and methods to stay ahead of the burgeoning costs of college.

K ia Ora... Welcome to legendary New Zealand’s extraordinary scenery and

vibrant culture. New Zealand, one of the greatest unspoiled frontiers, is blessed with perhaps the world’s largest concentra-tion of stunning natural wonders: soaring mountain ranges, brooding volcanoes, deep majestic fjords, bubbling geothermal pools, and wide sandy beaches. Discover the rich 1,000-year-old Maori culture that influences the Kiwi’s daily life. New Zealand is a food and wine lover’s paradise, where award-winning wines are produced throughout every region and chefs put playful local twists on fine cuisine. New Zealand, at the 45th parallel, is so similar, yet so different!

This exciting and exclusive 12-day, international travel program is custom-designed by GIG Travel Management Company specifically for the MAC. Our luxury, small group journey is limited to 20 to 30 guests; affording MAC members and their guests a unique opportunity to

explore the wonders of the New Zealand’s north and south islands.

On a few days, optional excursions are available at reasonable prices to further customize the experience. A detailed list with pricing is available on the registration website and in your travel documents.

Auckland – Our journey begins in the city of sails. An urban environment where everyone lives within half an hour of beautiful beaches, hiking trails and a dozen enchanted holiday islands. Add a sunny climate, a background rhythm of Polynesian culture and a passion for outstanding food, wine and shopping, and you’re beginning to get the picture. While in Auckland, the trip heads to Waiheke Island, one of the jewels

of the Hauraki Gulf. Just a 40-minute ferry ride from the hustle and bustle of downtown Auckland, members visit three exceptional vineyards featuring award-winning Bordeaux, pinot noir, malbec and sauvignon blanc.

Rotorua – Where one-quarter of the population are of Maori descent, Rotorua has one of the world’s most lively fields of geo-thermal activity, as it sits squarely on the Pacific Rim of Fire. A highlight is the boat trip through the world famous

Waitomo Glowworm Caves, an ancient underground labyrinth of limestone formations where thousands of tiny glow-worms create a starry wonderland.

Explore New Zealand’s Wine Country

Members who take advantage of the club’s New Zealand trip in November travel to Hawkes Bay, above, the country’s oldest wine region. November is the spring season in the island country. Below, New Zealand’s enchanting Glowworm Caves.

BORN TO OUTPACE EVERY EXPECTATION.

There is also an opportunity to experi-ence the real Middle Earth with a visit to the Hobbiton movie set, featured in The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit films. Set on a 1,250 acre picturesque sheep farm with spectacular views across to the Kaimai Ranges, it includes Bag End, where Frodo and Bilbo’s adventures began. Get lost among the hobbit holes and visit the Green Dragon Inn, the mill, and the Party Tree. Listen to spellbinding tales of how Hobbiton came to be.

Every visit to Rotorua is infused with the warmth of Maori culture. Offering genuine hospitality to visitors is a respon-sibility that local Maori take seriously, so sharing their culture, history, music, art, and language comes naturally. You’ll eat indigenous food, hear age-old stories, learn about ta moko (tattoo art), and see ancient dances from warriors in traditional dress.

Napier and Hawkes Bay – Hawke’s Bay is the oldest wine region in New Zealand and the country’s leading producer

of red wines. With almost 5,000 hectares planted and 91 wineries producing award-winning Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and rich, complex Chardonnays there is just about something for everyone

here. We’ve planned an amazing insider’s wine tasting and lunch at some of the most outstanding wineries in the region.

We’ve planned an interactive cook-ing class with celebrity chef Malcolm

Redmond. It’s a unique opportunity to be part of a cooking class using the freshest in local ingredients and learn culinary skills from this renowned chef. After the class, you sit down to eat together in the dining room, where Chef Malcolm provides a wine pairing for each of the three courses.

There is also time for travelers to explore Napier and the surrounding area on their own. Napier has some of the high-est concentrations of Art Deco architecture found anywhere in the world. Walk about, rent a bicycle or a vintage car, and get out and see the sights.

Queenstown – This alpine resort town is sophisticated and fantastically scenic. Situated on crystal-clear Lake Wakatipu and flanked by The Remarkables, an awe-inspiring craggy mountain range, Queenstown’s scenery is inspiring and revitalizing.

Queenstown is also the gateway to unbeatable adventure. It was named the extreme sports capital of the world, and a dizzying array of activities abound – bungee jumping was invented here! But, there is so much more than thrills to

behold. A highlight is Milford Sound. Described by Rudyard Kipling as the

“eighth wonder of the world,” it was carved by glaciers. The fjord’s cliffs rise vertically from the dark waters, mountain peaks scrape the sky, and waterfalls as high as 1,000 meters cascade downwards. When it rains in Milford Sound, those waterfalls multiply with magnificent effect.

Discover the rich history of Arrowtown, an old gold mining town, cruise Lake Wakatipu on the TSS Earnslaw steamship, see the Southern Cross, or experience the thrill of the world famous Shotover River either in a jet boat or on a whitewa-ter excursion. Nature walks with birding, horseback riding or a sampling of the best in Kiwi microbrews – these and so much more activities await you.

Program highlights include: • Nine nights of deluxe accommoda-

tions at four-star hotels• 18 meals• Private transportation throughout, per

the program itinerary• Napier to Queenstown economy-class

flight

• Entrance fees, wine tasting fees, per the program itinerary

• Extensive premium wine tasting on Waiheke Island and Hawke’s Bay with winery lunch

• Waitomo Glowworm Caves excursion• Maori Village Cultural Performance

and dinner• New Zealand cooking class, with

paired wine tasting• Choice of one Queenstown activ-

ity: Milford Sound day trip, four-wheel Skipper’s Canyon and Historic Arrowtown excursion, or jet boating on the Shotover River

• One onsite local guide and one MAC travel manager throughout the trip

Travelers must be age 18 or older, and 18-to-22 year-olds should be accompanied by an adult guardian or parent. The cost of the trip is $3,998 per person, based on double occupancy.

But the team also distinguished itself in the classroom this year. In fact, seven members were recognized by the USA Gymnastics Academic All-American Program – which honors male gymnasts for academic achievements – during the 2013 Junior Olympic National Championships in Portland.

MAC gymnasts Banks Hall, Patrick Casey, Parker Chiapuzio, Nicolai Apenes and Jacob Apenes earned spots on the 2013

USA Gymnastics Academic All-American First Team for maintaining a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.85.

Brock Luthi and Zach Ochsenschlager earned Honorable Mention USA Gymnastics Academic All-American status by maintaining a cumulative grade point average of 3.50 to 3.69.

This kind of scholastic success is typical of MAC gymnasts, according to Gymnastics Department Manager Meg Doxtator.

Many take advanced courses at demanding schools. Nearly all plan to go to college. And because everyone has to balance school with several hours in the gym each week – more than 20 at the highest levels – most are well organized.

“They waste less time because they don’t have a lot of time to waste,” said Doxtator. “They stay on task better.”

Plus, the training and discipline learned from gymnastics can help stu-dents develop good study habits.

“It teaches you to be focused,” said Banks Hall.

Watching gymnasts succeed both in and out of the gym is rewarding for MAC’s coaches, who have watched the young athletes work hard for years.

“I am very proud,” said boys gymnastics head coach Shuichi Goto.

MAC gymnast Banks Hall’s stellar senior season culminated with a national title in the parallel bars. He is attending the University of Washington next year.

MAC Banks First Boys Title in 20 Years

Multnomah Athletic Club has a proud gymnastics tradition, but over the

past two decades, one title has eluded the team – a boys national championship.

Senior Banks Hall ended the boys title drought at the Rose Garden in May, when he won a national championship on the parallel bars.

In addition to his gymnastics accolades, Hall graduated with salutatorian honors from Sunset High School, and was an Academic All-American all four years in high school.

Hall took a few moments from his busy schedule – he graduated in June – to discuss his championship, his time at MAC, and his future.

Winged M: Give us a little background about yourself and your junior gymnastics career.

Banks Hall: I started in the rec program here at MAC at age 4, I think. My twin brother and I climbed all over the house and jumped off of stuff, so my parents signed us up for gymnastics. I was invited to try out for the team when I was 6 or 7, so I have literally grown up in this gym.

At my first state meet at Level 4, I placed first in state on rings. I have always liked rings, parallel bars, vault, floor and pommel, and have won state and regional champion-ships in these events over the years. High bar is my least favorite event, but I placed first in state one year in that event too – I probably should not have (laughs).

I think the reason I won on parallel bars is because my routine was clean. Coach Shuichi Goto has always encouraged clean, controlled routines. The strength training that Coach Rob Saleski has implemented, and his college coaching experience, have been instrumental in helping me control my routines and win at meets.

WM: What were you thinking while you were competing at nationals?

BH: I had hurt my left ring finger almost two weeks before nationals, so I was mostly thinking about blocking that pain. My finger was taped up for some events but could not be on others. Last year at nation-als, I had the worst meet of my life and fell on every event; my goal was to prove to myself that I could do well enough to

advance to the second day of competition. I just wanted to do better than last year. Our team was well represented at Nationals

– MAC had a noticeable presence in the arena. It was awesome to be able to com-pete with so many of my MAC teammates, as well as other gymnasts in our region.

WM: Tell me what was going through your mind when you won. Did you know you were the first MAC male to win in two decades?

BH: I felt I was having a good meet but really had no idea of exactly what that would mean until the end. I was mostly concentrating on executing my routines the best I could.

After I won my awards I had no idea that I would be in this standing at MAC. I am really proud to be a MAC gymnast. We have a great team, great coaches and we support each other 100 percent. The awards our team members won are really for the entire MAC team.

WM: You, and many of your teammates, also excel in the classroom. Is there any secret to balancing your athletics and aca-demics so well?

BH: My mom is convinced that gym-nastics has helped me be a better student. I guess being in the gym so many hours makes you learn time management kind of naturally. It seems like I have always been able to be more focused in the classroom than some students, and that is prob-ably because of the focus that this sport demands.

WM: What are your future plans?BH: I was accepted to several col-

leges but decided on the University of Washington. University of Washington accepted me to pre-engineering and offered me a significant academic schol-arship. There is a club gymnastics team affiliated with the university that I will join, Washington Men’s Gymnastics. I applied for and received a significant scholar-ship from Washington Men’s Gymnastics Foundation as well for this year. My goal is to compete in college and hopefully do well at college meets. At this point my academic direction will be electrical engineering and I am thinking eventually I would like to work on helping to develop “smart” prosthetic limbs. WM

Two club swimmers, Ben Weston and Nick Wood, were named Most Outstanding Swimmers

The MAC Masters Swim Team won the Oregon Masters State

Championship for a medium-sized team for the second consecutive year in April.

The MAC team brought 14 swimmers to the annual meet in Bend, five women and nine men. The meet kicked off Friday night with the 1,500-meter freestyle and the 400 individual medleys. Nick Wood won the 25-29 age group in the 400 IM while Can Ergenekan earned the victory in the 40-44, 1,500 freestyle.

Saturday featured very impressive swimming by MAC’s women. Jessica Stacey swept her events in the 18-24 age group, while Member Coach Jill Marie Asch swept all of her events in the 40-44 age group. Jess also notched state records

in her swims, including breaking the 50 meter breaststroke record held since 1998. Jess comes back to MAC after swimming four years for the University of Hawaii – welcome back Jess!

Teri Hendryx stroked her way to multiple victories in the 60-64 age group, with impressive wins in the 100 back-stroke and 50 breaststroke events. Lauren Binder handily won the distance freestyle events, besting the field by more than two minutes in the 400, and three minutes in the 1,500.

On the men’s side it was “Oil Can” Ergenekan who provided the fuel for the fire. Ergenekan blew away the com-petition in all five events he swam while providing critical firepower in his numer-ous relay swims. He also set a state and zone record in the 100 butterfly, a record which stood for more than 13 years. Eric Moore continued his dominance in the backstroke swims, where he swept the 50, 100 and 200 swims. Moore, known for his amazing start, led the races from box to wire. Scot “Sully” Sullivan cruised to vic-tory in the 50, 100 and 200 breaststroke events.

MAC finished with a total score of 698, ahead of rival Oregon City’s 653. The team displayed outstanding character and poise during crunch time, putting the meet away in the mixed freestyle relays. During Saturday night’s awards ban-quet, Nick Wood and Ben Weston were awarded Oregon Master Swimming’s Most Outstanding Swimmers, while Can Ergenekan was recognized as All-American for his accomplishments in open-water swimming. MAC also had five All-American relay swimmers: Joaquin Romera, Ben Weston, Christian Tujo, Eric Wan and Sharon Foley. WM

P ilates has a significant effect on the success of athletes. Athletes who take

Pilates in addition to their training are stronger and have longer careers. Training methods used in sports develop superficial muscles the athlete needs for their specific sport, but does not build the stabiliz-ing muscles around the joints and torso. Usually one muscle is being exercised and isolated in a single plane of motion, but Pilates is much more complex. The series of exercises recruits many muscle groups, also strengthening one muscle in various angles and different ranges of motion. Pilates develops core strength, increases flexibility, creates muscular balance in the entire body, and assists in rehabilitation after injuries. Often, coaches encourage Pilates as a supplement to regular train-ing, since athletic training can be harsh on the body and hard on the joints, creating imbalances that lead to injury. Pilates also alleviates the mental exhaustion that ath-letes endure daily. Pilates is about mind and body connection. Introducing the mind/body connection gets the athlete thinking differently about their body and the way it functions. It brings them back to basic training principles and the core of their bodies. It is a great way to stabi-lize the body and get the athlete under-standing their overall physical condition. Pilates helps develop agility, flexibility, quicker response, mobility, stability, bal-ance, coordination, functional strength and endurance. These athletes begin to understand their bodies on a more intel-ligent level.

I work with a large number of tennis players because the sport can be damag-ing to the body. They swing with one arm in one direction over and over, rotating their body with force. I look at them from left to right and front to back. I always see rotations and imbalances in the direction they swing. Starting at the feet I see an inversion on one foot and an eversion on the other (one foot rolling inward and the other rolling outward). The knees show

hyper extension on one side and flexion with the other. Moving my way up to the hips and pelvis, I usually see elevation on one side and a rotation on the other. The rib cage, shoulders and head show the same imbalances, while the vertebrae of the spine frequently show shearing and compression. Seeing these asymmetries in their body helps to explain why the client is experiencing pain and frequent injuries. Most athletes use one side of the body repetitively with excessive force. Once the imbalances are identified, an exercise plan is created to strengthen the weak muscles and create symmetry throughout the body.

I began my practice of Pilates in 1996. I was a ballerina dancing seven days a week, dancing four hours a day Monday-Friday and eight hours of rehearsal Saturdays-Sundays. I was pushing my body to its limit and wearing out my joints. My choreog-raphers encouraged me to take Pilates to strengthen my muscles closest to the bones and around the joints. Pilates gave me

control of my range of motion, protection from injury and freedom in my movements. Once I was out of high school I wanted to deepen my knowledge of Pilates and become an instructor. I learned what a rig-orous and solid form of exercise it is.

Pilates workson the location of an injury in addition to the body’s muscular system and nervous system. A knee injury can be caused by more things than just the knee. In many cases we can look down at the feet and see where the problem originated. By teaching the feet to do what they were made to do, we find freedom to allow the rest of our body to be its best. This knowledge is important when teaching an athlete about muscular bal-ance. Pilates instructors lead the athletes through a series of exercises challenging balance and coordination, incorporating movement that activates the core muscles. Rehabilitation through Pilates provides the athletes with a challenging workout with-out excessive weight bearing and weight impact.

In 2007 Pilates Style Magazine featured the New York Giants NFL team. The players were lined up on reformers (Pilates machines) doing an advanced exercise called back splits, with a headline that called Pilates a “secret weapon.” They won the Super Bowl during that season, and won again in 2012. There are many athletes who advocate Pilates strongly. A huge list of Olympians claim that Pilates keeps them strong, healthy, free of injury, and mentally stable during the excruciat-ing long days of training. These gold medal Olympians include: Sanya Richards, Natalie Coughlin, Keri Walsh, Misty May Treanor, Dana Vollmer, Michael Phelps, and Ryan Lochte. There are many other professional athletes who practice Pilates regularly, such as Tiger Woods and Kobe Bryant.

Pilates has held up into today’s new world filled with various types of fitness regiments. It is no surprise that many suc-cessful athletes use Pilates to physically and mentally train. To be a professional athlete you have to be at an optimal fitness level. It prepares the mind and body for the strenu-ous, exhausting, and brutal days they spend training to be exceptional. Pilates is a per-fect supplement to all sports and athletes.

MAC Karate Dominates State Championships

In a spectacular demonstration of indi-vidual spirit and team unity, the MAC

Karate team, led by head instructor and coach Bill Plapinger, garnered 30 medals at the state championships in May. MAC led the medal count by a substantial margin.

The state championships, held once again at MAC, is the official qualifier for the USA National Karate-do Federation (USA-NKF) National Championships and U.S. team trials, to be held in July at the Bi-Lo Center in Greenville, S.C. All MAC athletes who medaled at state cham-pionships earned the right to compete at nationals.

MAC team members were successful at all tournament age levels, from the young-est to the oldest.

In the boys divisions, Alexander Knight earned third place in 8-9 beginner/novice kumite (sparring). Cole Soot took second in 10-11 intermediate/advanced kata (forms). Alexander Niehaus also finished second in 10-11 beginner/novice kumite. Michael Reynolds earned a second in kumite and a first in kata in the 12-13 intermediate/advanced division. Andrew Crawford won two medals in two divisions: a gold in 12-13 beginner/novice kata and a bronze in 14-15 beginner/novice kumite. Quint Page finished third in the 14-15 beginner/novice division in both kata and kumite. Jake Dakin won gold in 16-17 beginner/novice kata.

In the girls divisions, Page Crawford won gold medals in both 10-11 beginner/novice kata and kumite. Kimberly Soot earned silver medals in both 12-13 inter-mediate/advanced kata and kumite. Parker Wood won first place in 14-15 advanced kata.

In the adult divisions (ages 18-34), Robert Baldwin was second in intermedi-ate 170-pound kumite and first in kata. Mary Baldwin earned a gold medal in intermediate kata and a silver in advanced kumite. Elizabeth Baldwin was second in intermediate kata and third in advanced kumite. Maya Schell received gold medals in advanced kata and advanced kumite.

In the masters divisions (45-plus), Wendy Kuttner was first in beginner/novice kata. James Prihoda was first in advanced kata and third in advanced kumite. Phillippe de la Mare earned a silver medal in advanced kata. Mark

Twietmeyer was third in advanced kata. Laurie Farwell won the silver medal in intermediate/advanced kata. Tom Levak was second in advanced kumite.

MAC Karate is proud of all its tour-nament competitors, not just those who medaled. As Ginchin Funikoshi stated,

“The ultimate goal of karate-do is neither victory nor defeat, but rather the develop-ment of character,” a goal achieved by all MAC state tournament participants.

Northwest ClassicThe largest tournament that MAC

karate students attend in Oregon is the Northwest Classic.

This year, masters of the highest cali-ber came from all over the United States, Japan, Spain and Korea. These high-level black belts are teachers; some even have their own schools, write books and run seminars. Two sensei who attended have been in feature films, one was the stunt double for Mr. Miyagi in the Karate Kid movies, and appeared in The Island of Moreau. Another has instructed Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sting and Grace Jones in the use of weapons. He also had a cameo as the instructor for Conan the Barbarian.

George Kotaka, a two-time world champion, held a seminar on fighting tech-niques to improve students’ sparring abili-ties. Students learned different strategies on how to score points.

MAC students that participated in kumite (sparring) all fought well. Declan

Hedlund and Emily Fowler both won bronze medals for their fighting prow-ess. Robert Baldwin and Erin Murtagh received bronze medals for both kumite and kata.

Hoang Ngan Nguyen, another two-time world champion (in kata) taught a seminar and performed an inspirational demonstration at the tournament. Kata is a prearranged fight against imaginary opponents. It teaches self-defense. At the seminar, students learned how to score in kata. Judges pay attention to the connec-tion and stability that a student’s feet have, and their intensity is measured by their eye contact, their poise, and the strength of their voices.

Wendy Kuttner got the only gold medal of the day for MAC. Laurie Farwell, Maya Schell and Kuttner received silver medals for their well-performed team kata, and Phillippe De La Mare won the silver in his division. Bronze medals for kata also went to Cole Soot and Quint Page.

Tournaments help students move out of their comfort zones by putting all the work done during training to the test in a new and exciting environment.

Beginner karate classes start every two months and is on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5:45-6:15 p.m. After students attend the two-month beginner course they are welcome to join classes on Tuesday and Thursday from 4:45-5:45 p.m. or 6:15-7:45 p.m., and Fridays from 6:30-7:45 p.m. WM

The MAC Karate team excelled at the Northwest Classic and at State Championships this year, with several members qualifying for nationals.

Every July, the MAC competitive swim team recognizes firecrackers. Each

coach selects two athletes who come to practice with positive attitudes and exhibit stellar work ethic. The team has partici-pants ranging from ages 6 to 18; squads start with development and progress through age group, pre-senior and senior levels.

DevelopmentKarli Lonnquist, 8, has swum on the

MAC swim team for the past two years. This firecracker is dynamite when she hits the water because she attacks every-thing she swims. Not only that, Karli is a leader among her peers and helps draw them to higher levels. She is currently qualified for the summer long course state championships in nearly every event. The most impressive are the 200 freestyle, 50 and 100 backstrokes, and the 50 and 100 breaststrokes. Karli is set to make a lasting memory in the lives of those she competes against.

Piper Winder, 8, is an outstanding young swimmer. Piper is qualified in the 100 freestyle, 50 fly and several other events for the summer long course state championships. She comes to practice every day with passion and the intention to improve. At competitions, Piper is diligent and prepared.

Both of these young ladies are integral parts of the foundation the competitive swim team is laying; they are athletes who strive for greatness and drive those around them in the same direction.

Age GroupAlesandra Pardini is relatively new to

swim team and brings a positive energy to the squad. She met her state qualify-ing times even though she is among the youngest in her age group, and went on to qualify for sectionals. Alesandra is a fun, hardworking athlete.

Kevin Keil brings a smile to practice every day. He has earned his state qualify-ing times and sectional cuts, and is ranked in the top 10 nationally in his age group in the long course meters 800 freestyle. Kevin adds his enthusiasm to every practice.

Pre-SeniorSisters Kate and Claire Westlake are

becoming standout swimmers for the pre-senior team. Kate, 14, has state cham-pionship qualifying times in the 100 and 200 breaststroke, 100 and 200 backstroke, 400 IM and the 1,500 meter free. She also has qualified for regionals in Wenatchee, Wash. in the 100 and 200 breaststroke and the 200 backstroke. This is a quantum leap for Kate, as she had no qualifying times at the beginning of the season in September 2012. Her next goal is meeting senior sectional standards, and at this rate, expect that soon!

Claire, 12, is new to the squad, recently moving up from the age group team. Since the long course season, Claire has already achieved standards for the state meet in the 100 and 200 backstroke. A goal of Claire’s is to make the 13-year-old standards for state, in order to swim in the

state 12-and-under championships and the 13-and-over championships, held two weeks apart. Claire enters the older age group between the meets.

Both sisters are on the way up to faster swimming and a great future.

SeniorLiam O’Shea is slaying every training

piece set before him. Nicknamed The Chairman, Liam is the sparkler of the senior team. He’s not necessarily flashy, but his approach and ability to chal-lenge and make those around him better helps the team succeed. The 15-year-old Riverdale student seeks to qualify for junior nationals in his distance specialties.

Emily Ortner joined the MAC team a little over a year ago as an athletic member, and is moving to Oakland, Calif., where her father is now working. Sure to be missed, Ortner made huge impacts for the teams at sectionals and state. More impor-tantly, she trains with fire. The 16-year-old was a part of a very successful Sunset High School team, and also helped the MAC girls team at sectionals with strong races in the 200 and 400 IM. It’s hard to find great people like Emily, and she makes an impact like a firework finale! WM

MAC Smashes Goal During May Blood Drive

MAC members and staff showed up in full force for the May Blood

Drive, donating 118 pints of blood in two days. That’s enough blood to save 250 lives. From first-time donors, to members who had donated gallons, from 17-year-olds to 70-year-olds, members and staff surpassed the total from last year by eight pints.

While most donated blood stays within the Pacific Northwest, some donations from Oregon do leave the region. In the aftermath of the Boston Marathon bomb-ings, a batch of AB positive blood was rushed to the New England area. The Red Cross is working to make sure donors know a little more about where their blood is heading. The organization plans to give donors a postcard to track their donation.

The next MAC blood drive is the annual Civil War drive pitting Ducks against Beavers in November. WM

James Nava, above, was among the younger members to donate during the club’s spring blood drive in May. Below, it’s member Lori Copeland Hesse’s turn in the chair.

The biggest event of the year for MAC cycling, the Eola Hills Wine Ride,

takes place in a few weeks.There are many reasons this ride has

become so popular among MAC members and guests. First, although it’s a bit of a trek to the starting point in Rickreall, just outside of Salem, traffic is historically very light. The ride is a nice mixture of hills and flats, offers a long and a short route. For the long route, the ride fee includes admission to the Buena Vista Ferry, which offers a fun addition for the ride. There is also a sup-port tent and mechanic available at the start of the ride and at the halfway point, just after the ferry, not to mention the beauti-ful scenery in this part of the Willamette Valley. The ride offers limited support, since cycling coaches and members of the Cycling Committee join the ride, so riders are encouraged to ride with groups.

Riders are required to wear helmets, and are encouraged to carry water, and they should have the ability to change a flat. Maps are distributed at the start, when ride payment confirmation and waivers are distributed. Riders who would like to ride in groups are asked to wait until the ride starts at 9:15 a.m.; however, many anxious riders jump the gun and roll out earlier.

And then there is the food: Eola Hills really does set up a mean Sunday Brunch, and offer MAC members and guests a dis-counted price of $21.95.

Summer seasonMid-week rides roll out Tuesday nights

now, moved from Wednesdays. The rides

are a mix of hills and flats and are popular with the more experienced riders and folks training for events. Naturally, all levels are welcome. Depending on the number of participants, the rides may be split into three groups. Later on in July is the Club Championship Series. It is set to occur on three consecutive Tuesdays in late July and running into August. The series has an individual time trial, a hill climb, and a team time trial. Check theMAC.com for more details.

The Second Saturday ride in July takes place on July 13 and starts from the Rock Creek Tavern. This is a great training ride for the hill-a-holics, as riders tackle the abundant hills in the Rock Creek/Helvetia/North Plains region. And since it ends at a pub, post-ride socializing is always an option.

The Cycling Committee is considering additional mid-week daytime rides start-ing and ending at the club. These grown-up field trips would run up to two hours, welcome all levels of riders, and head to local destinations, such as art galleries, the Community Cycling Center, local cycling studios, the Bicycle Transportation Alliance, and fun venues, such as eclectic coffee shops. Cycling Committee member and former member coach Mary Ross is still working on the details; look for more information in the August Winged M or on theMAC.com.

If you have any questions about the MAC cycling program, contact the Athletic Services office. Cycle safe this summer. WM

In her twen-ties, Cree rode from Seattle to Mexico with her twin sister and two cousins. The thought of riding 1,255 miles was unimaginable at the time. With teamwork, a great mindset and organization she and her family rode the entire Pacific Coast Range during the month of August! This amazing ride was long, hard and beautiful, and it sparked her lifelong passion for cycling and the realization of how empowering a ride can be.

“Cycling is my inspiration in life,” she says. “It is how I process informa-tion, relieve stress, have fun and con-nect with my community.”

Cree is on the Upper Echelon Fitness and Rehabilitation (UEFR) women’s cycling team and is a cat-egory 1 cyclocross racer, category 3 road racer and category 1 mountain biker. In 2010 she ran the entire dis-tance of the 30-mile Wildwood Trail in Forest Park (30 miles). But her greatest accomplishment was being selected as part of the Cannondale Reve Tour Team, a group of six women hoping to ride every stage of the Tour de France the day before the men raced it. Cree and her teammates completed each stage in its entirety, riding 2,200 miles and 152,000 feet of climbing in 21 days.

She enjoys spending time on her bike, sharing her love of health and cycling. WM

• MAC Member Review •“Sherry is the Madame Curie of

skin care.” - Dr. Anita Kolish MD

A s tennis players get a little older, it gets harder to round out a doubles

quartet. Fortunately for Bobbie Olmsted and

Virginia Cook, it took quite a while for that time to roll around. But as they kept playing tennis into their 90s, it became a more dif-ficult to find partners for their weekly dou-bles match. So instead, they found “angels.”

For several years now, a dozen or some women – and the occasional man – have become their new playing partners.

“I met Virginia about four years ago,” says Della Shanley, a regular on MAC’s tennis courts. “She was on the court hit-ting with the ball machine.”

Cook explained her situation, and Shanley passed along her phone number, telling her she could make time to play. She subbed in as the fourth member of their doubles game about once a month, but as time grew on, Cook and Olmstead were looking for more partners, more often. Shanley passed along their

information to some friends, and the group of “angels” grew in size, making it easier to put a game together anytime.

While Olmsted and Cook have been grateful to have partners, it’s often the

“angels” that come away have learned something.

“When you’re playing with them, you have to deal with accuracy and pace,” she points out.

And beyond improving their tennis game, some of the angels have learned some life lessons. Cook and Olmsted can certainly dole them out. Cook spent 21 years coaching the Benson High School Team, and is a past winner of a Seattle city championship and a Washington state championship. She just celebrated her 56th year at MAC. Olmsted’s father taught her to play when she was 8, and she’s been at the club 51 years.

“Over the years I’ve learned a lot from these women,” says Sarah Warner, “way more than just tennis.”

The MAC tennis angels include, back row, Peggy Jacques, Susan Turner, Ellin Johnson, Charlene Fisher, Della Shanley, Kathleen Rogovoy, Sarah Warner, Elizabeth English and Stacy Dyer; front row, Robin Franklin and Maria Hall; and seated, Bobbie Olmsted and Virginia Cook. Not Shown in the photo are Valda Summers, Whitney Woolf, Jill Neuwelt, Julie Emry, Jenny Bayless, Tiffany Rosenfeld, Stephanie Oedewaldt and Monica Kassab.

“Doing this reminds us all of why we play the game,” adds Peggy Jacques.

“That’s what I want to do when I’m your age – you play the game with a smile on your face.”

Shanley says that every time she recruits a new angel into the group, the reaction is the same.

“Every woman that plays with this group calls me and says, ‘thank you,’” she says.

Shanley says she can always use more players to join the angels. For more infor-mation, contact her at [email protected].

Court usage and reservation policy

The combination of a limited number of courts with the popularity of tennis among all ages means that, particularly during peak times, demand exceeds supply when it comes to getting an open court for play. The court reservation system was set up to bestow order and predictability on what might otherwise be a chaotic and confusing process. However, if you reserve a court, please use it or, if you can’t use it for whatever reason, be courteous and let others use it. WM

On a Portland summer night, it’s hard to come inside. The extended twilight

is magical, the air is balmy, and our livable city is at its walkable best. Even better are full-moon evenings, when the rising moon reflects the last pink and orange rays of the setting sun.

Make the most of those precious summer nights; join MAC walkers and hikers for three evening walks timed to catch the rising full moon as it emerges over the eastern horizon. Two are atop the city’s best view sites, and one is timed to watch the Vaux’s Swifts in their nightly dive into the chimney at Chapman Elementary School.

Rocky Butte, Monday, July 22, 7 p.m. – Meet at the crown-like top of Rocky Butte, arguably the most scenic overlook in town, with its views east to Crown Point and west to the St. Johns Bridge. Bring a picnic or wine and snacks and relax on the wide green lawn atop the butte, or join walkers on an exploration of the park’s trails, hand-carved WPA rock work and historic airway beacon. Walkers head back on top for the 8:50 p.m. moonrise/sunset.

Council Crest, Tuesday, Aug. 20, 6:30 p.m. – Meet at the top of Council

Crest. Now that the trees have been cut back by the city, views are again supreme. Picnic or play on the lawn, or join walkers on a stroll through scenic neighborhood streets to Council Crest’s twin peak, Healy Heights, and visit secret pathways. Head back up top for the 8:09 p.m. moonrise/sunset.

Chapman Elementary, Thursday, Sept. 19, 6 p.m. – Meet at MAC for a brisk walk through the neighborhood to Chapman Elementary School. Bring a picnic in your pack, and watch the swifts swirl into the massive chimney – one of the city’s most beloved scenes. Haven’t seen it yet? It’s a bucket-list item. A walk back to the MAC follows the sunset/moonrise is at 7:13 p.m.

As with all walking and hiking outdoor events, it is a good idea to call the hot-line, 503-517-7518, to ensure that plans have not changed at the last minute due to unexpected circumstances. For more information on these full-moon walks, as well as other walking and hiking informa-tion, email [email protected], or call 503-517-7539.

Experience the beauty of Awbrey Glen Golf Club when MAC golfers head to

this central Oregon getaway for a tourna-ment on Saturday, Aug. 24. Awbrey Glen is a full reciprocal club, and is a family-friendly facility with much to do besides golf, so bring the family along.

The heart of Awbrey Glen is the mag-nificent 18-hole championship Bunny Mason-designed golf course. The course plays at 5,600 yards from the forward tees to 7,000 yards from the back tees. Any golfer can have an adventuresome hole with the lakes, rock outcroppings and trees.

For those who have played Awbrey Glen before and need extra incentive to make the trip, the newly designed fifth hole is completed in July. Renowned, Bend-based course architect David McLay Kidd did the fifth-hole redesign, which moves the tees to the top of a ridge, offer-ing a dramatic view. The new hole tempts the bold; it’s drivable for long hitters at 335 yards from the back tees and 245 yards from the forward tees. Eagle anyone?

While at Awbrey Glen, check out every-thing the club offers, including the practice center, known as the Learning Center, and the pool facility. The Learning Center fea-tures a double-ended driving range and a five-hole par 3 course. This year-round facil-ity is perfect for all ages. The loop course

does not require tee times and is available to all who want the perfect place to hone their golf skills. MAC members who arrive Friday may check out the Learning Center Friday afternoon. As part of MAC’s privileges at Awbrey Glen, members may use the pool facility for $5 per day. For this weekend in August, there is no charge to use the pool facility for MAC members.

Lodging for the weekend is a snap. There are two hotels offering discounted rates; contact Mount Bachelor Village Resort at 1-888-691-3069 or Hilton Garden Inn (formerly Ameritel) at 541-617-6111 and ask for the MAC Awbrey Glen group rate.

The tournament includes a 12:30 p.m. shotgun start with a dinner and social fol-lowing play at approximately 5:30 p.m. The cost of the tournament is $85, and includes greens fees, cart, practice range and dinner buffet. The format is stroke play, (field of 16-60, 24 players to retain shotgun start). There are on-course chal-lenges with free guest passes for KP prizes.

To Chip or Pitch? That is the Question.

Successful players wishing to lower their scores must have a

solid understanding of two common golf shots – the chip shot and the pitch shot. With up to 65 percent of golf shots related to the short game (inside 100 yards), mastering these two shots and knowing when to use each one is critical.

The chip shot or the chip-and-run shot is used when there is plenty of ground to work with and no forced carry between the ball and the hole. The ball flight is low and the ball is expected to land and roll out toward the target. For this shot, select a club with lower loft such as a 9-iron or 7-iron. For the set up, the ball is played off your back foot, hands are pressed forward (de-lofting the club-face) and 60 percent of weight is on the forward foot. The swing is a one-lever motion led by the arms with wrists firm, maintaining the forward press in the swing. After impact, the grip end of the club remains ahead of the clubface for a solid finish.

In contrast, the pitch shot is uti-lized when there is a forced carry over water, a bunker, or other mounds between you and the hole. Trajectory on a pitch shot is higher and the ball lands softer (with minimal roll out). Utilizing a club with higher loft, such as a pitching wedge or sand wedge, the pitch shot is played with the ball in the middle of the stance with weight evenly distributed. From this position, set your wrists on the backswing and use your core to pivot through the shot. This motion allows the clubface to pass by the hands after impact and to finish with your belt buckle facing the target.

Spend 60 percent of your prac-tice time on chipping, pitching and putting, and lower your scores with a solid short game. You can test your skills later this summer during the MAC Club Championship on Saturday, Sept. 21 and Sunday, Sept. 22 at The Reserve Vineyards and Golf Club.

For Better Handball, Start with the Legs

This second of six Winged M articles on how to improve sports performance

discusses the legs, including the joints and muscles that control them, along with some performance enhancing exercises. Seek advice from a health professional before undertaking any new exercise program.

Anatomically, there are three major leg joints: the hip, knee and ankle. Though the foot and toes are also important, they are not included here for brevity, but undergo some performance training with the listed exercises. As mentioned in the June article, the leg muscles controlling balance are smaller and underlie the larger

“show” muscles in the hip, thigh and calf. It is these muscles that are the focus of per-formance training.

Ever notice that athletes involved in sports requiring extreme balance, e.g. gymnastics, usually have larger, well-defined hip and thigh muscles in compari-son to athletes in sports not requiring a high degree of balance, e.g. marathon run-ners? This is because the underlying bal-ance muscles critical to their performance are larger. In handball, being on balance improves shot accuracy and having a dura-ble, stable foundation from which to exe-cute ensures this. In contrast, a wobbling knee during a kill shot attempt results in a skip. If these balance muscles are fatigued, shot execution suffers. Interestingly, the player having strong “show” muscles does not feel fatigued, though these small mus-cles, not consciously controlled, are.

A simple test to determine your bal-ance muscles’ strength and endurance is to stand on one leg and hold the other leg up with the foot six to ten inches off the floor; have a sturdy support structure close by for holding to prevent a fall. Slowly do a slight one-legged squat by bending the knee ten degrees or so while keeping the back straight. How long can you hold this simple position? How does the weight shift around on your foot? What muscles fatigue first? Most importantly, does your upper body wobble around with flailing arms to maintain balance after 10 seconds, or are you able to stand like a statue for two minutes? Check both legs for comparison; having/developing bilateral symmetry is

optimal. The test is the first step in isomet-ric strengthening of the balance control muscles; work each leg until you are able to stand a full minute with little upper-body movement and minimal weight shift on the foot. To advance further, raise your heel slightly and/or stand on an unstable surface such as a folded towel. Even the busiest person can do this exercise for six minutes a day while talking on the phone or reading.

The next level is dynamic training, which also provides an aerobic benefit as the “show” muscles are more engaged. The lunge exercise mimics the legwork required for nearly all handball shots. From a standing position, simply take an exaggerated step forward and bend both knees to lower the upper body without let-ting the forward knee go beyond the toes; keep the back straight and minimize upper body movement, letting the legs do the work. Hold the lunge momentarily then retract and repeat with the other leg. This easy exercise can be modified as progress is made: increase the length of the step, add weight, such as holding two-pound barbells, and increase the speed of each lunge. The number of repetitions for each individual will vary greatly depending on a host of factors such as fitness level, age, flexibility, etc. Time-wise, doing even 50 lunges may take only five minutes. Gauge yourself with a low number of lunges in the beginning and see how you feel one or two days later you may be surprised by the soreness in those small muscles you have just discovered! Fortunately, it doesn’t last long as you steadily progress.

Next up: the core.– Dave Steinberg

MAC junior Elli Wiita was appointed to the junior national synchro-nized swimming team, her third national team appointment.


Elli Wiita Makes a Splash in Synchro at the National LevelElli Wiita Appointed to US Synchro Junior National Team

After a series of intense, nationwide trials, junior Elli Wiita was appointed

to the 2013 junior national synchronized swimming team in May. This is historic, since she is the first MAC member to make this particular level of national team while still representing MAC Synchro. Wiita, as a member of the 2013 junior national team, represents the U.S. in international competition this August in Puerto Rico at the UANA Championship, a Pan American junior and age-group level event that features competitors from all over North and South America and the Caribbean.

There were three phases of team trials held in three locations over five months. Wiita attended the first phase in Santa Clara, Calif. in January, where she placed ninth. This put her in a good position going into phase two, which was the figure competition at the U.S. Nationals, held in North Carolina in April. After phase two there was a cut made to the top 20 athletes. Wiita was in 13th place headed into the final selection phase, which was held in Walnut Creek, Calif. This final phase consisted of individual and group swims of a trials routine, which was used to name the final 12 on the team. Wiita finished in ninth place, earning a spot on the junior national team.

The team trains in Riverside, Calif. beginning in June, then moves on for the last portion of its training in Coral Springs, Fla. before heading to Puerto Rico for the competition in mid-August. Training consists of six-plus hours of pool time and three-plus hours of land time each day. When asked what she most looked forward to, Wiita responded, “I’m looking forward to becoming a stronger swimmer and making new friends. I’m excited to travel.”

This is Wiita’s third national team appointment. Last summer she earned two gold medals in duet and team as a member of the 13-15 age group national

team in Cali, Colombia at the UANA Championship. Her first appointment was in 2009, when she was appointed to the U.S. 12-under national team. That squad participated in a two-week train-ing camp at the U.S. Olympic Training Center. The Wiita family and MAC has now had representation on all levels of the national team, since Wiita’s older sister, Katy, represented the U.S. on the senior level in 2011, on national team one, having attended both the FINA World Championships in China and Pan American Games in Mexico, where Katy earned a silver medal and a place on MAC’s Wall of Fame. Besides the Wiitas, other MAC athletes achieving U.S. Synchro national team appointments over the years include Nicole Langley, who was

named to the 2003 junior national team while representing the Riverside Aquettes; Mackenzie Perkins, named to the 2008 13-15 age group national team; and Renee Zhang, named to both the 2010 12-under and 2011 13-15 age group national teams.

MAC synchro offers programs for all ages and levels here, including both junior and adult recreational, and competitive programs, from beginners to elite. The summer synchro camp is July 15-18 and there are still openings available. No experience is necessary, although novice and intermediate level swimmers will have plenty of challenges.

Racquetball pros returned to MAC in April, and what a show they put on.

After a hiatus of more than 10 years, the top pros in the world revitalized the Tournament of Champions. Forty-four players entered the pro draw, with the eight highest seeded players proceeding straight to the round of 16. With a No. 14 seed, MAC Member Coach Charlie Pratt had a tough fight ahead of him. This was his first tournament back after an ankle injury sidelined him at the end of last year.

Pratt’s first two matches were predict-able; he won in three straight. The round of 16 proved to be tougher, as he took on No. 3 seed Alvaro Beltran. Pratt came out strong with an 11-3 first-game win, and after losing the second game 8-11, he came back to finish off Beltran 11-6 and 11-7. His next match pitted him against No. 6 seed Ben Croft. Pratt got out to a 6-3 lead in the first game before Croft mounted a comeback, winning the second game 11-7. Croft then took control and won the match. Croft went on to beat No. 2 seed Rocky Cason in three straight games.

Perhaps the game of the tournament was 22-year-old No. 5 seed Jose Rojas (who many MAC members have been watching since he was 8 years old) against the No. 1 player in the world, Kane Waselenchuk, in the semi-final. Rojas gave it a great attempt with his quick-ness and athleticism keeping him in the game. But Waselenchuk was so dominant that Rojas was diving just to return some of Waselenchuk’s serves, and ultimately lost in three. With the stands packed and every square foot of standing space occu-pied, Waselenchuk put on a show against Ben Croft in the final, winning 11-3, 11-4, 11-7.

Throughout the weekend the feeling was electric. On the courts the competi-tion was intense, and off the court players celebrated like they were at a party or reunion, reminiscing about past tourna-ments and meeting new friends as well. Many people hadn’t been to MAC in years and none were disappointed. There are very few sports where fans can rub

shoulders with the pros quite as easily as racquetball. They were very approachable, putting on exhibition matches with local players, signing autographs and talking to racquetball enthusiasts of all levels. Both Kane Waselenchuk and Ben Croft com-mented on MAC’s incredible facility and the warmth and hospitality of the Portland racquetball community. In addition to being a great tournament, the Tournament of Champions served as a fundraiser for the Military Racquetball Federation (MRF).

The tournament couldn’t have been successful without many volunteers, including Club Pro Hank Marcus, past committee Chair Timm Locke, Member Coach Darrin McNally, the MAC Racquetball Committee, and many generous sponsors, including MAC, Eketelon, Noho’s Hawaiian Café, Base Camp Brewing, Thai Noon Restaurant, Touchmark, The Campbell Group, Fordham Goodfellow LLP, Tonkin Torp LLP, Botaini, Galluci & O’Hanlon CPAs, GBD Architects, LRS Architects, Oregon

Sports Authority, and many individual sponsors.

In addition to the pro draw, more than 150 local players competed across all levels, including the following MAC members:

The high school racquetball season has

come to another successful comple-tion, with MAC hosting the 2013 State Championships. The club was a buzz of activity, with more than 300 students com-peting from 20 different high schools.

Twenty-three MAC players participated in this event, including 21 from Lincoln High School, and one from both Sunset and La Salle High School. MAC members Bruce Reid, Tom Inglesby, Sanjay Bedin, Scott Cohn and Member Coach David Szafranski were coaches.

Lincoln High School had another great showing this season, with a record 60 players participating, many of them for the first time. It was a rebuilding season for them with several key players from last year graduating. Overall they finished fifth in the team competition and girls field, and fourth in the boys field. Three MAC members, Gavin Usher, Henry Novak and Clayton Ross, were among the 10 Lincoln players to make the trip to St. Louis to compete in the National Championships. With such a young and enthusiastic group of players, they are a team to be reckoned with next year.

Sunset High School also had 60 players participating during the season and ended up placing third in the team and boys com-petition and fourth in the girls competition.

La Salle had only four players compet-ing, but finished 10th in the team competi-tion, seventh in the girls field, and 13th in the boys field.

Thanks to all the volunteers and MAC racquetball players who came out to watch the action. The support was fantastic. Thank you also to Multnomah Athletic Club for hosting such a great event.

T ravel can be energizing and enlivening. It can also be exhausting and disori-

enting, and maintaining a consistent yoga practice when traveling can be a challenge. Here are 10 easy tips to help you keep up your yoga routine:

1. Use a travel mat. Most are lighter versions of regular mats, weighing in at about two pounds, and can be rolled or folded to fit your suitcase. If space is an issue, pack a pair of skid-less yoga socks and gloves.

2. Stay connected. Smartphone apps such as Bee Boznak’s “Heal Yourself” or Yoga Journal’s iPractice are available. Brought a laptop? Online classes are avail-able, many for free. Yogaglo has classes appropriate for every level of practice.

3. Check airports. Many airports are opening health centers. San Francisco International opened its own yoga studio.

4. Find the local studio. Practicing at a new studio can enrich practice back at home. Some hotels may feature yoga classes as part of their fitness centers.

5. Get some fresh air and take a mat to a park or practice on a beach towel.

6. Just about any pose can be adapted to a chair, so if space is an issue, modify practice for a seated position. This is an excellent way to keep circulation moving, especially on long plane rides.

7. If time is an issue, simplify to shorter practice periods in the morning and eve-ning. A small practice may be just the thing to provide energy for the day and relax-ation for the evening.

8. Make the day’s practice more medi-tative with a strong pranayama (mindful breathing) practice.

9. When in Rome… do something else that enriches the yoga experience. What’s the favorite local activity?

10. Sometimes the most yogic thing to do is not do yoga. Step off the mat for a few days.

The most important thing to remember is to enjoy your journey, whether it’s on or off the mat.

– Carole Moritz WM

Ten Tips for Practicing Yoga on the Road

MAC junior Vaughan Siker, 13, persevered in an exciting come-

from-behind final to win the 2013 U.S. Junior Bronze Squash Championship, held in Stamford, Conn. in late April. During the preliminary rounds on Friday and Saturday, Siker solidly defeated four opponents before meeting Charles Merrill from Locust Valley, NY. Merrill, who defeated the tourney’s top-seeded player in the quarterfinals, started strong against Siker, winning the first two games 11-6 and 11-9.

Telling himself that he had to win at least a game to make it a match, Siker began his comeback, winning game three.

“Why not win two,” Siker thought, “to force a fifth game?” When Siker started winning the fifth game, his opponent grew frustrated, tired and mistake-prone, with Siker taking the fifth game 11-6 to win the title.

Two weeks later, Siker competed at Stanford University’s Junior Silver Open. U.S. Squash divides the top national play-ers into three divisions based on their ranking: bronze, silver and gold, each group with about 32 athletes. In addition to now playing at the silver level, he was required to play in the under-15 division, having just turned 13. Nevertheless, he made it to the consolation finals where, in similar fashion to his bronze champion-ship, he roared back from a 0-2 deficit to defeat his opponent.

In related news, fellow MAC junior Caleb Spiro won the under-15 plate at the Junior Silver Squash Championships in Newton Square, Pa.

New Club Champions for Adult Singles and Doubles

The MAC squash community was graced with yet another terrific squash tournament organized masterfully by two committed members, Sean Ryan and Will Davis, two of the club’s best players. The tournament, featuring concurrent singles and doubles matches, ran seamlessly and fostered even greater camaraderie than normal, with junior players competing

in adult draws for the first time. Several competitors played in multiple draws, lending to a festive atmosphere as players dashed from one match to the next.

The draws were competitively bal-anced. On the doubles side, seven teams competed in the open division and eight teams in division 1. In division 1, Will Davis paired with Junior Rowan Schnebly to win in a grinding 3-1 battle against Eric Button and Alan Carbajal, with young Schnebly displaying a poise and consistency that his mother, quite an accomplished squash player, could only dream of! In the Open draw, newcomer Erik Wohlgemuth paired with the ever-steady Ed Sloop to best inveterate squash sensei, Gary Johnson, and the highly tal-ented Brian Greenleaf in four hard fought games.

In men’s singles 5.0, it was the battle of the tournament directors, with Ryan defeating Davis. In men’s 4.0, Patrick

Fausel, who only picked up squash a few years ago and is always visible working hard on his game, took the final against Alex Burt, and did not drop a game the whole tourney. Watch out 5.0 players, Patrick’s coming for you!

Juniors Vaughan Siker and Alec Spiro left the adults in the dust to reach the men’s 3.0 final with Siker the victor. Sean Ryan took the men’s 40s against Josh Hilton and in the men’s 50s, Anders Giltvedt won against Derrick Cameron. In the women’s open division, Kara Hale took first place, defeating Marcia Wood in the final.

Lastly but noteworthy, the inimitable Bud Fields came by to observe and cri-tique, regaling nearby spectators with stories and squash wisdom.

All in all, another fabulous Club Tourney.

– Eric von der Heyden WM

Years ago the president of the Mount Hood Little League called me and asked if I would coach one of his baseball teams. The

kids were eight and nine. The prior coach had been transferred to a new job. Tryouts had already taken place and the other coaches had already selected their teams. My boys had not been picked.

How could I create a winning team when all the good players had already been picked? I went to all the coaches and suggested they each give me one of their players and then take one of mine. No luck. There were two special situation boys: Lucien a nine year old with a reading disability and below average coordination; and a boy we had never seen who was a transfer from California.

Lucien could not play without parental consent. He lived in a small house and it was apparent his family had a very modest income. Approaching the front porch I could hear an argument. Lucien’s mother wanted him to play and be on a team. The father refused to sign. One look at Lucien’s face and I knew the mother had my vote. I explained to the father that I only needed the mother’s consent. I don’t have any idea, even today, if I was right.

Our first game was a disaster. I think we were about 15 runs behind when we stopped the game. The next day my California transfer showed up and he was simply the whole package. Most important, he could pitch better than any player in the league. His first game he struck out five batters in a row and hit two home runs. We moved into first place and the coaches complained that our California boy was too good.

The manager and I explained to our team that we needed help from all the fathers. We expected two or three to show up for the next practice. In fact every single father showed up except Lucien’s dad. Many had played baseball in high school, and one even was on the varsity team at Oregon State University. I persuaded him to take over the team and I became his assistant.

The other teams were only practicing once a week, and with so much help we practiced three times a week at the request of our team. The entire team improved. We still had one nagging problem

– Lucien could not hit. He showed no improvement. Unless a pitcher walked him he never got to first base. He swung at the wrong time. The entire team was giving him advice.

We lost our star from California. He was just too good so he was drafted to another league with better and older players. Our team dropped to second or third place for the remainder of the season.

Lucien became our player manager. If a boy didn’t show up, Lucien called him. He wanted every boy at practice and each game. He kept track of all our baseball gear. If a player was lacking in self confidence or emotionally beating himself up, Lucien knew how to bring him around. He was our leader. He was in charge of morale. He kept the team happy.

Our team was playing our next to the last game of the season and Lucien was at bat. Lucien loved a low pitch and that is just what the pitcher served him. For the first time in practice or a game Lucien did everything exactly right. He was using a wooden bat and the sound was awesome. The ball hit the chain link fence. A couple more inches and it would have been a home run.

There was a long silence in the stands. The players on all the teams knew he could not hit. Parents knew he could not hit. A triple! Impossible. All the parents stood and started clapping. They whistled and called out his name.

Over the next forty years I saw Lucien a few times. Each time he asked if I saw him “hit that triple.” The last time I saw Lucien, I was driving along Taylors Ferry Road when we stopped for gas at Burlingame. The attendant was standing in front of the office. The way he stood reminded me of a kid I knew long ago who played baseball.

I stepped out of our car and Lucien rushed to me. We hugged for a long time. His first question was: “Did you see me hit that triple?” The next question was: “What could I have done to make it a home run?”

I had to reverse direction to get back on the street. In my mirror I could see Lucien still waiving.

How would you describe your currentbusiness?Make Musicals supports the creation, develop-ment and advancement of musical theater onBroadway and around the country. Our publish-ing company was created to give theater fansbehind-the-scenes access into our famouslyclosed-door industry. Through the pages of ourbooks, they can access the excitement of the realBroadway experience.

What do you like most about your present career?I love being entrepreneurial and working onBroadway! I saw an unfulfilled niche in produc-ing and publishing so I decided to just go for itand create my own dream job. I’m passionateabout what I do and very interested in meeting,supporting, and working with people who have bigdreams about theater.

What do you like least about your present career, if anything?Theater is a tough and expensive business. It is hardto see incredibly talented people stop pursuing theirdreams because they get discouraged or they can nolonger afford to pursue their artistic goals.

What are your favorite causes and why do you support them?The arts, of course! I’m proud to serve on several artsboards. I’m also passionate about supporting young people who are interested in pursuing theater careers.

What is your guiding principle?To borrow from the immortal worlds of Irving Berlin,

“There’s no business like show business.”

What word best describes you?Self-motivated.

Who are your mentors?My dad. He was able to turn his dreams into reality

and showed me firsthand how I could do the same.

What advice would you give to today’s University ofPortland business students?

Dream big. It can be tempting to play it safe. I encourageUP business students not to give up on their lofty ambi-

tions. If you make smart, solid plans and rememberthat success doesn’t happen overnight, you canaccomplish even the most unlikely goals.

Favorite memory of your time spent on the Bluff:I’m grateful to Dr. Howard Feldman who convincedme not to quit half way through the first semesterwhen I showed up at his office in tears and said, “I don’t think I can do this.” He said, “Of course youcan do this.” And he was right! I also would like tothank Dr. Brian Adams for pulling off the highlyunlikely feat of making finance my favorite subject.

What, if anything, do you feel your education at UPhad to do with your success?Getting my MBA at UP was a game changer for

me. I had been a music major undergrad but later real-ized that I didn’t want a career on stage. UP allowedme to discover that I could channel my creativity andartistic passion into building businesses. Pursuingfinance gave me the practical tools to make myentrepreneurial endeavors stable and successful.Having professors who believed in me and encour-aged me gave me the confidence and the faith topursue my big dreams.
