m
n writing this, my
last Winged M article as
your president, I find
myself reflecting on the
past year. As I was
introduced as your
president Feb. 12, 2008,
I promised to uphold
the mission of the club.
I also promised,
Nancy Fuhrman
with the help of the
President
Board of Trustees, to
retain the financial stability and integrity of
the club. I am pleased to say this has been
accomplished.Throughout the year I strived
to communicate with all members the
actions of the board and maintain an open
ear to our membership regarding concerns
and ideas. I have heard from many of you
this year; the sense of pride and ownership in
our club as expressed and demonstrated by
your comments and actions is overwhelmingly gratifying.
2008 board actions
The board accepted the Facility Master
Plan (chaired by Lisa Yost) but did not implement it due to the lack of funding as well as
a priority placed on finding a permanent
long-term parking solution.The board did
approve an increase in the allocation of
capital reserves to increase the fund for future
implementation of the Facility Master Plan.
The Property Committee, chaired by
David Porter, worked with the operations
department to conduct a capital reserve
study. Our plant is in good condition and has
been well maintained; however, we know
much of our facility is aging and the report
recommends the club plan on an average of
$2.8 million a year for plant and major
equipment replacement.
An ad hoc committee chaired by Vivian
Solomon was appointed to review the status
of the 777 lottery intake.The board accepted
the report and agreed to maintain the target
membership but allow a limited number of
families and singles from the lottery to enter
into membership each month.
I want to express my appreciation to
those 600-plus members who participate in
club committees, and to the chairs of each of
the committees for their leadership.Your
energy and efforts help make us one of the
top three city athletic clubs in North
America.
The board
I am grateful for an energetic and
thoughtful board. Each member of the board
contributed to the year’s successes. I also
welcome new trustees Bill June, Lisa Caplan
Girard, Ron Neiger and Vicki Tagliafico and
know they will be outstanding board
members.
Three years ago, my fellow officers,Vice
President Bill Zander,Treasurer Jim Flynn
and Secretary Vivian Solomon formed a
bond as we stood wide eyed and eager as we
were presented at the Annual Meeting.This
relationship has grown and transitioned into
life-long friendships as we worked with
three boards to contribute to the club’s
ongoing success by upholding the mission
and respecting the traditions.
Next steps
The new board is faced with challenges
as it moves forward in a time of national
economic uncertainty.The board receives
the strategic plan during the first quarter of
the board year. Julie Vigeland, chair, and the
Strategic Planning Committee will present a
road map for the club for the next five, 10
and 20 years.The board is then charged with
developing a plan for implementation.
The final weeks of my term have been
exciting. I attended the Banquet of
Champions, where we congratulated 29
national champions, including one world
champion.We also recognized the nominees
and recipients of the Mel Fox Athletic and
the Joe Loprinzi Inspirational awards.
Ed Schneider was named the winner of
the Joe Loprinzi Inspirational Award and
Mackenzie Perkins received the Mel Fox
award. Congratulations to all of the nominees for their outstanding efforts and
achievements.
A heartfelt thank you to General
Manager Norm Rich and his “can do”
approach to meeting our members’ needs
while managing the club, and to Executive
Assistant Sara Baker for her support to the
board, positive attitude and exceptional organizational skills.
Thank you for the opportunity to serve.
See you around the club. n

radition within
the club calls for an
orderly transition from
one Board of Trustees
to another every
February.We are in the
final days of this transition and it is with a
great sense of loyalty
and admiration that I
Norm Rich
thank our retiring
General Manager
board members for
their many contributions to the betterment of our club.
President Nancy Fuhrman has worked
tirelessly at leading our club the past year.
Her passion is obvious and heartfelt and
she has responded to the membership
every way imaginable with concern and
respect for this wonderful institution. Her
commitment to her responsibilities has
been remarkable, with a hectic work
schedule, being a mother and grandmother,
and as partner to Patrick.
Vice President Bill Zander, a lifelong
member who cares deeply for this institution and asks the questions that others may
not want to ask, has contributed enormously to our club. He has represented all
members with zeal and zest to guide the
board to making hard decisions.
Treasurer Jim Flynn has helped guide
the club to a great financial place this past
year.We met budgeted revenue with severe
December weather and controlled
expenses with a difficult economy. Moving
forward we are mindful of spending
money wisely but with an eye for the
future, which is so important for the long
term. Jim guided the budget process to a
balanced and successful conclusion.
Secretary Vivian Solomon has contributed greatly to getting it right on every
detail. Her well-trained legal mind has
guided us thoughtfully through many
discussions on demanding topics, with
successful conclusions through it all.
Partnering with Robin Becic, Luanna
Grow, George Hosfield, Ross Meinhart,
Sydney Baer, Phil Juckeland, Rob
Thompson and Leslie Vanbellinghen, these
officers had the vision to guide us to a
better place thanks to a team effort.
I have gotten to know four wonderful
trustees better, and gained tremendous
respect for them and all they have contributed to our club. I have also gotten to
know their spouses better and want to
thank Patrick, Reidun and David for
allowing them to spend so much time
with us.
I also want to welcome new trustees
Lisa Girard, Bill June, Ron Neiger and
Vicki Tagliafico as they join a group of
dedicated trustees who guide us through
the next three years of good times and
great challenges.
The club has enjoyed a good year: we
have achieved a lot but never enough.
Looking back we remodeled the Main
Lobby and Reading Lounge, the Grand
Ballroom and restrooms next to the ballroom; upgraded carpeting in many areas;
bought new athletic equipment; upgraded
squash courts; and added many TVs to the
exercising and conditioning areas.We
invested in the member parking structure
and many other infrastructure projects.
Lastly, your club is in a good financial
position.We are attempting to offer
member value in as many places as
possible.Yes, the dues increased, most
notably due to increased funded depreciation, utility and property tax increases, and
to a lesser degree, employee expenses and a
loss of interest income due to the struggling economy.We have many new and
exciting things happening around the club
and encourage you to check them out. I
value your membership and encourage
you to make the most of the club during
these challenging times.
Please join fellow members at the
Annual Meeting Tuesday, Feb. 10 at
5:30 p.m. as an orderly transition is carried
out and everyone enjoys free prime rib.
There are other major events
happening at the club this month. Sample
the expertise of our new executive chef,
Philippe Boulot, at the Super Bowl Party
Sunday, Feb. 1; Crab Feed Wednesday,
Feb. 4 through Saturday, Feb. 7; and
Valentine’s Day dinner and dance Saturday,
Feb. 14. Also, be sure to watch the finest in
gymnastics at the MAC Open Friday,

In reflecting upon
RT S
my first 12 months at
MAC, a number of
things came to mind.
Here are a few highlights by the numbers:
12: Columns I
have written for The
Winged M. I hope you
find these 300-350
ED STONER
words a month infor- ATHLETIC DIRECTOR
mative and relevant.
900-plus: Gymnasts that compete in
the MAC Open in February. Both the
boys and girls MAC teams won last year’s
25th annual meet. This year’s event
features a meet with the U.S. service
academies.
24: Committees involved in athletics at
MAC. More than 600 members serve on
the MAC committees. Each April
welcomes new members and chairs to
these committees.
3,091: The number of miles my family
moved from Boston to Portland in late
March. The 47 days between my arrival
in Portland and theirs were almost as
trying as learning the club’s 43 activity
and sport committee policies.
76: The number of MAC member
coaches that make our programs the best
they can be, whether working with a
specific sport or our summer camps.
27:Years Skip Runkle led MAC
swimming prior to his departure in 2008.
His efforts produced many champions
and left a legacy, which I know Alex
Nikitin and his staff continue to build
upon. It also happens to be the number of
Scholar Athletes (high school sophomores) that MAC honors annually for
their achievement and promise both
athletically and academically.
17,275: Resident members who are
age 7 or older.You make MAC a special
place. It is a pleasure to serve you; so one
big thank you for helping make my first
year at MAC, and my family’s first year in
Oregon, an enjoyable and rewarding one.
14th: Happy Valentine’s Day.
Remember to keep your heart healthy
here at MAC. I look forward to seeing
you around the club. 

Club Asks For Help
With False Fire Alarms
T
he club has experienced several false
alarms recently, and the Portland Fire
Department has warned the club about
possible fines if the pattern continues. False
alarms have occurred from children accidentally pulling an alarm, pranksters, and
contractors working around alarm sensors.
The club has taken precautions by
installing child-resistant boxes over fire
alarms in areas where children regularly play.
However, the club asks that parents pay
close attention to their children if they are
near a fire alarm.
Members are also asked to contact the
manager on duty at ext. 255 if they see
anything suspicious immediately prior to or
following a fire alarm.
The club is committed to the safety of
members, guest and staff. It is important that
false alarms are minimized so that in the
event of a real fire, everyone acts quickly
and safely. n

Paddy Ryan
Noelle Van
Rysselberghe
Faces In The Club
Karl Acker, a MAC Scholar Athlete
from Grant High School, was named to
the first team all-league football team.
Acker was honored specifically as a defensive utility player, meaning he filled in at
multiple positions. His strengths are
outside linebacker and strong safety.With
Acker’s help Grant advanced to the
second round of the playoffs this year. He
is a senior with plans to attend Florida
A&M.This winter he is preparing for the
track season, and he comes to MAC to
train when he’s not too busy with school.
Ann Blume was named Ms. Early
Bird 2008 by the Early Birds Committee
at the group’s annual breakfast in
December. Blume has participated with
the club’s early morning exercisers for
about 10 years. She comes each weekday,
and her favorite activity is the boot camp
class. “It’s a wonderful group of people,”
says Blume. “And I enjoy getting in a
workout.” Blume is a veteran of the
Membership and Member Events
committees.
Mark New is Mr. Early Bird 2008.
For about 13 years New has taken advantage of his habit of waking early and
coming to the club to join fellow MAC
Early Birds for some exercise and fun. He
comes each weekday for the boot camp
class or the running group, and he says the
camaraderie keeps him coming back.
Monthly events like the Halloween run
through a cemetery before dawn keep
things interesting, and he appreciates Bill
Zander’s birthday and anniversary e-mail
reminders, which are helpful for a sleepdeprived person’s memory, New says.
Paddy Ryan coaches MAC’s fourth
grade competitive boys basketball team,
and he says the youngsters are surpassing
expectations.The team performed well in
early season scrimmages and tournaments,
and it competes at the fifth-grade level in
a league at The Hoop in Beaverton. Ryan
plays competitive basketball at the club
with the MAC A team. At the end of
February, MAC’s competitive teams
(Open, A, Masters, and Golden Masters)
take on their West Coast rivals in the
Pacific Coast Athletic Club basketball
tournament in Seattle.That is followed by
the North American Association of
Athletic Clubs (NACAD) tournament in
April, which is hosted at MAC. Ryan is a
commercial mortgage broker with Norris,
Beggs & Simpson.
Noelle Van Rysselberghe served as
co-captain of the Jesuit High School cross
country team, which earned its seventh
consecutive state championship in
November.Van Rysselberghe, a senior, has
been a member of the last four championship teams. During the season she came to
MAC almost daily to take advantage of
low impact workouts, like aqua-jogging
and stationary bike riding, to maintain
fitness despite a foot injury. A former
member of the MAC synchro team,Van
Rysselberghe swims three times a week in
preparation for the coming track season.
She plans to continue running at college,
and she’s talking with coaches from several
Division One schools.
Ed Schneider and Mackenzie Perkins received the
Joe Loprinzi Inspirational Award and the Mel Fox Amateur
Athlete of the Year award, respectively, at the Banquet of
Champions Jan. 15. Schneider is an avid hiker and
committed participant in the club’s walking and hiking
program. After undergoing total knee replacement in May
2005, Schneider made rehab his No. 1 goal and was back
with his walking and hiking pals on his favorite trails seven
months later. Perkins was selected last summer to the U.S.
13-15 national age group synchro team. As a member of
the U.S. team Perkins won a silver medal at the Pan
American Age Group Games in Calgary in August.

Thompson, Schneider, Perkins and MAC President Nancy Fuhrman.

50-Year Members
by Jennifer Brown
mong the awards presented to MAC members annually
is the pin given to those who have maintained their resident membership for 50 consecutive years.
Although many members have been born into a club membership or have used the club since their youth as part of a family
membership, a person’s membership begins once they are elected
as a senior member.
At the Annual Meeting Tuesday, Feb. 10, the club acknowledges
32 members for attaining this status. Following are the stories of
several of the members who became senior members in 1958. See
page 17 for a list of this year’s honorees.

Selwyn A. Bingham

Selwyn A. Bingham has been a MAC member “since day one,”
he says. His grandfather, A.J. Bingham, was a member, as were his
father, Selwyn Sr., and his brothers, Stuart and Clarke. Continuing
the tradition are his son Selwyn and three grandchildren.
The biggest change Bingham has seen in the past 50 years is the
number of members. “It was a close club in the beginning; I knew
everyone.” He acknowledges that this growth is neither good nor
bad; “it’s just change,” he says.
Although Bingham now primarily uses the E&C Room, his
past interests included volleyball, basketball and tennis. In the mid
’70s, Bingham played volleyball in nationals, and remembers that as
one of the highlights of the past 50 years. He considers the camaraderie at the club one of the top values of his membership.
Bingham served as club president in 1975. During that year, he
was the impetus behind the first Father Daughter Dinner Dance. “My
daughter, Leslie, said to me, ‘You do a father/son event, why not
father/daughter?’” he explains.This successful annual event continues
to be a popular way for fathers and daughters to spend a day together.
The club’s annual Crab Feed was one of Bingham’s conceptions
as well.

Jack Faust

Jack Faust joined the club as a recent graduate from law school.
He was looking for a place to play squash and work out. He had
just begun to practice law when he became a member. At the time,
membership cost $50.
Faust and his wife, Alice, have two daughters and one son.
Although their daughters gave up their membership, their son,
Charlie, remains an active member.
The No. 1 change Faust has seen within the past 50 years is a
common one heard from long-time members: the physical facilities. The facilities are also what Faust values the most about his
membership. He has used several of MAC’s reciprocal clubs, such as
New York, San Francisco, and the Outrigger. “I’ve traveled a lot
around the country,” he says. “The club has no equal.”
Faust has never thought about dropping his membership. “It’s a
one-way gate,” he explains. “I would never want to give it up.
There’s nothing that can take its place.”
Throughout the years, Faust was a familiar face on the squash
and tennis courts. Although he has taken a temporary break from
his workouts, he plans to return to the Exercise and Conditioning
Room soon. He and his family also enjoy dining at the club.
Some of Faust’s fondest memories include the “bull sessions”
with different people in the locker room, he says.

Donald Holman

Donald Holman received his MAC membership as a gift from
his in-laws in recognition of graduating from law school. His wife,
Susan, had been active at the club since she was in third grade.
The Holmans have three children; two of them – Donald Jr. and
Laura O’Brien – have retained their memberships; eight grandchildren are members as well.
During the past 50 years, Holman has played a lot of squash and
tennis on MAC’s courts, and has enjoyed using the E&C Room. He
is a past member of the club’s Board of Trustees; he served as vice
president during his third and final year on the board in 1985.
One of the biggest changes Holman has seen relates to the board.
“From my observation, the board is doing a better job than we did,”
he says. “They’re more responsive to the membership.” Holman is
also pleased with the changes brought to the club by General
Manager Norm Rich.
Jack Faust, his wife, Alice
and son, Charlie were
photographed on the Indoor
Track in 1965.
After his year as 1975-76
MAC president, Selwyn
Bingham, Jr. appears ready
and happy to use his gift
from MAC in appreciation
for his dedication.
Handball player
Jack Scrivens attained a
spot on the club’s Wall of
Fame in 1975.
Outgoing 1985-86 MAC vice
president Don Holman, left,
presented George Robinson his
50-year pin at the Annual Meeting.
1/26/09 7:05:10 AM
The friendships Holman has made during the past 50 years are
among the highlights he names. He fondly remembers the friendship
with fellow squash player Tom Wrightson, who died in 2000.
The presentation of the 50-year pin at this month’s Annual
Meeting is a tradition with which Holman is familiar. When he was
the club’s vice president, it was his duty to hand out the 50-year pins.

Jack Scrivens

Jack Scrivens became a MAC member via his athletic skills. He
was playing basketball on a scholarship at University of Portland
when the club approached him to become an athletic member.
After playing basketball for the club for three years, the club
waived his membership fee. Scrivens played basketball for five years
then switched his interests to handball and squash.
“My MAC membership is one of the best things that ever
happened to me,” Scrivens says. “It’s a real privilege.”
At one point, Scrivens lived in one of the private rooms at the club.
“I thought I was in seventh heaven,” he says. “During that time I was
paying $65 a month, which included maid service. My room had two
windows that overlooked the stadium and tennis courts.” During the
holidays, when the club was closed, Scrivens and the other men who
lived on site “had run of the place,” Scrivens says.That freedom ended
in the early 70s, when phase II was being built.
Scrivens is one of 65 members on the club’s Wall of Fame for
handball victories in both 1975 and 1976. Scrivens and the late Mel
Fox, who served as the club’s athletic director for 17 years, both
attended Franklin High School. “When I won the championship, he
told me, ‘I’m gonna take care of you,’” Scrivens says. “I had the biggest
picture on the wall,” he laughs.When the wall was renovated in 2008,
the photos were reprinted and are now comparable in size.
Although Scrivens has given up playing competitive handball
and squash, he continues to walk, lift weights, and participate in
water aerobics.

Marge Senders

Anyone walking through the second-floor gyms in the morning is
sure to have seen 50-year member Marge Senders racking up her
walking mileage. Senders works out at MAC five days a week; four of
those are spent walking five to six miles each day. Her younger sister,
Elise Rosenfeld, often joins her for part of the walking routine.
Senders also participates in a low-impact aerobics class, and a
stretch and strength class.

50-Year Members
continued from page 15
Senders spent her childhood as a member; her father, Henry
Feldman, was an early member. Senders dropped her membership
for 16 years when she and her late husband, Bruce, moved to
Seattle, but re-joined upon her return to Portland. Her son, Steven,
as well as one grandson, are also current members.
Senders has fond memories of working with two MAC icons:
Al Tauscher and Joe Loprinzi. As a child, Senders spent Saturday
mornings at the club in a gym class led by Tauscher. Senders
describes herself as having been athletic, although not an athlete,
and was on the club’s swim team for a while. She was among those
known as Cody’s Kids.
Senders considers her MAC membership to be one of her
prized possessions. She has made lifelong friends at the club, and
says, “Our paths never would have crossed if not here at MAC.
When I wake up, I know I have a place to work on my physical
well-being.”
In addition to her workouts, Senders enjoys meeting friends at
the club for lunch or dinner. Her past committee involvement
includes serving as the chairperson of the Lunch and Learn
Committee, and serving on the Entertainment Committee with
her husband.
“It’s just a wonderful club,” Senders says. “It’s retained its interest
in family activities and athletics.” 

MAC in any capacity outside the club.
Members also have a responsibility to
report any violation by a member or

member or guest by club staff. The
member may be referred to the House
Committee for review and possible sanction. Management or the Board of
Trustees may suspend some rules to
accommodate special occasions or events.
Club management is authorized to
eject any member or guest from club

2008 MAC Financial Report
Editor’s note: The remainder of the 2008-09 year-end committee reports will be published in the
March 2009 Winged M, coinciding with the end of committee activities. Due to MAC Bylaws,
the financial report must be made available to MAC members for the Annual Meeting.
Budget and Finance
Committee
James A. Flynn, treasurer
MAC has wrapped
up its 118th year of
successful operations. The new year
with its associated
abundance of football (go Beavs!)
evokes the MAC’s
beginnings in 1891.
A small group of
independent and
determined football players banded
together to lease a practice/workout space.
This handful of members ran things themselves, with no paid staff. Thus the humble
beginnings of our Club.
As time went by, other members joined.
Soon a permanent clubhouse and staff were
added and MAC programs developed and
diversified under the member-governed
structure that is thriving today. Your fellow
members on the Board of Trustees and the
Budget and Finance Committee are
committed to maintaining the strength of
our club’s balance sheet, the reliability of
our clubhouse, and the implementation of
our club’s mission. We maintain a nonprofit club tax status; primarily all of our
activities are for the common interest and
benefit of our members. We are in a strong
financial position, as demonstrated by the
audited financial statements following this
article.
Having been your treasurer for the past
year, I am pleased to report to you that our
finance function has operated effectively.
Operationally we had a very good year.
Unfortunately, that performance is overshadowed in the accompanying financial
statements by the material market losses of
the investments in the club’s facility
replacement fund. You will see that the
club’s balance sheet remains strong even
with the current year market reversal.
The Budget and Finance Committee,
with its subcommittees, is an important
part of our member governance. We regularly reviewed monthly financial results,
analyzed insurance coverage, addressed
financial policies as needed, and recommended the annual budget. The club’s
budget process is very involved and
requires hundreds of hours of staff and
committee member time. The result is a
budget that sets dues no higher than necessary to provide for a prudent balance in
program offerings, facilities maintenance,
and capital funding. Our investment
subcommittee, consisting of fellow
members with professional investment
experience, met quarterly to review the
performance and allocation of our significant investments.
Finally, the club’s audit committee,
whose mission is to assist the board in its
oversight of financial integrity, operates
under an audit committee charter that
includes several principles similar to those
in Sarbanes Oxley regulations.
I hope you appreciate, as much as I do,
the contributions of all the committee
members involved in the finance function:
subcommittee chairs Dave Brezinski
(budget), Mike Buckley (financial policy),
Tim Gillette (insurance), Nelson Lam
(investments), Matthew Bassist, Robin
Becic, Carl Burnham III, Jeremy
Burroughs, Rob Gray, Darwin Green, Jeff
Gudman, Lori Hesse, Karen Rasmussen
and Rob Thompson. Staff members Tim
Arbogast (CFO/assistant GM), John Foley
(controller) and Belinda Potts provided us
with important guidance and support. n

Notes to Financial Statements
1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization
The Multnomah Athletic Club (the Club) is a private, nonproprietary amateur
athletic club located in Portland, Oregon. The Club was formed in 1891 and
conducts various athletic and social activities and provides food and beverage
service to its members and their guests.
Basis of presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual
basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America. Net assets and revenues, expenses, gains, and
losses are classified based on the existence or absence of donor-imposed restrictions. Accordingly, net assets of the Club and changes therein are classified and
reported as follows:
Board-designation of unrestricted net assets
The Board of Trustees of the Club has established Board-designated
unrestricted net assets (Club equity) accounts for facility replacement
and property. The Board-designated property fund portion of Club equity
reflects the net book value of all Club property, plant, and equipment in
addition to cash equivalents and investment income earned from designated
sources less related liabilities. Board-designated sources include initiation
fees and designated investment income less related income taxes, and the
difference between actual depreciation expense and Board-approved funded
depreciation. The facility replacement fund represents the investment bal-

ances accumulated from contributions made to the fund and from earnings
on these investments, less related expenses. Amounts have been contributed
annually to the facility replacement fund. Transfers between funds may occur as directed by the Board of Trustees.
The Club does not have any temporarily or permanently restricted net
assets resulting from donor-imposed stipulations.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Club values its cash equivalents at market value. All highly liquid
instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less are
considered cash equivalents.
Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable consist primarily of unpaid member dues and other fees.
The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined by management based on
historical charge-off activity. The Club’s membership accounts are suspended
after accounts are 120 days past due. Accounts may also be sent to a collection
agency after the account has been suspended.
Inventories
Inventories of liquor, food and sportswear are stated at the lower of cost
(first-in, first-out) or market.
Investments in marketable securities
The Club carries investments in marketable securities, which comprises all
of the investment portfolio on the balance sheet at their readily determinable
fair market values. Unrealized and realized gains and losses are included in the

accompanying statements of activities.
The Club adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” effective January 1, 2008.
SFAS 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or
paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between
market participants at the measurement date.
SFAS No. 157 establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value
that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the observable inputs be used when available. The
hierarchy is segregated into three levels based on the reliability of inputs as follows:
Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Club has the ability to access. Valuation adjustments
and block discounts are not applied to Level 1 instruments. Since valuations
are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active
market, valuation of these products does not entail a significant degree of
judgment. All of the Club’s investments are considered Level 1.
Level 2 – Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or

Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to
the overall fair value measurement.
During the latter half of 2008, the credit and liquidity crisis in the United
States and other countries has resulted in substantial volatility in world financial
markets and the banking system. Several large banking and financial institutions have been acquired by the federal government; granted government loan
guarantees; taken over by federal regulators; sold in overnight auctions; or, have
initiated bankruptcy proceedings. These and other events have had a significant
negative impact on foreign and domestic financial markets. As a result, the Club’s
investment portfolio has incurred significant volatility and unrealized losses due
to depreciation in fair value since December 31, 2007. Additionally, the values of
Ad
Notes to Financial Statements
the Club’s individual investments have and will fluctuate in response to changing market conditions, the amount of gains or losses that will be recognized in
subsequent periods and the impact on the net assets of the Club, if any, cannot be
determined.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using
the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets:
Clubhouse 40 years
Clubhouse and land improvements 7-10 years
Equipment, furniture and fixtures 3-7 years
Parking structure and athletic facilities
10-40 years
Property, plant and equipment acquisitions, renewals, and improvements exceeding $2,500 are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.
Upon disposal of property subject to depreciation, the accounts are relieved of the
related costs and accumulated depreciation and the resulting gains and losses are
reflected in the statements of activities.
Membership dues and initiation fees
Membership dues are recognized as revenue in the applicable membership
period.
The Club collects a portion of initiation fees from prospective members as they
are placed on the waiting list and includes these amounts in deferred revenue. The
Club also has had programs in place to promote prepayment of initiation fees for
juniors and spouses. Initiation fees are recognized as revenue on acceptance to the
membership.
Membership dues and initiation fees are due primarily from Club members
within the Portland metropolitan area.
Taxes on unrelated business income
The Club is a tax-exempt organization under section 501(c)(7) of the Internal
Revenue Code and the Oregon Revised Statutes. It is, however, taxed on its unrelated business income.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles, requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could
differ from these estimates.
Reclassification
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year
presentation.
4. Taxes on Unrelated Business Income
Taxes on unrelated business income result primarily from advertising income in
the Club’s Winged M publication and from investment earnings, including gains
on sales of investments. The effective tax rate applied to these items of approximately 44 percent differs from the statutory federal rate of 34 percent primarily
due to state and local taxes.
The statements of activities include provisions for taxes on unrelated business
income as follows:
2008 2007
Federal
$ 100,154 $ 197,520
State and local
60,250
82,400
Total taxes on unrelated business income
$ 160,404 $ 279,920
The Club adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes, on January 1, 2007. The Club had no unrecognized
tax benefits which would require an adjustment to the January 1, 2007 beginning
balance of net assets. The Club had no unrecognized tax benefits at December 31,
2007 and at December 31, 2008.
The Club’s policy is to recognize interest accrued and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as an administrative expense when it applies. During the years
ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Club recognized no interest and penalties.
The Club files an exempt organization income tax return and an unrelated
business income tax return in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and a copy with the
state charities division and department of revenue. With few exceptions, the Club
is no longer subject to U.S. federal or state/local income tax examinations by tax
authorities for years before 2002.
5. Employee Benefit Plan
The Club has a salary deferral retirement savings plan under the provisions of
Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code whereby participating employees
may defer a portion of their gross wages. The Club makes contributions to the plan
of 3 percent of the base salary of employees and also matching 100 percent of the
first 3 percent of the employee deferral. Total contributions to the plan for the year
ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 were $676,547 and $696,860 respectively. In
addition, the Club pays a portion of administrative expenses of the plan.
2. Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, Plant and Equipment consist of the following:

Land and improvements
$ 2,483,514 $ 2,483,514

Equipment, furniture and fixtures 21,699,377 19,155,813
Parking structure and athletic facilities
7,981,131 7,990,596
6. Pension Plan
The Club had a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all full-time employees, ages 21 and older, with one year of service. The benefits were based on years of service and the employee’s compensation during the
most recent ten years of employment. The Club’s funding policy was to contribute
annually the amount required to be in compliance with the provisions of ERISA.
Contributions were intended to provide not only for benefits attributed to service to
date but also for those expected to be earned in the future. Prior service costs were
amortized using the straight-line method over the average remaining service period
of employees expected to receive benefits under the plan.
The plan was curtailed as of December 31, 2005. All retirement funds were distributed during 2008. The gains on the curtailment of the pension plan at December
31, 2008 was as follows:

narrator’s only name is “boy” because his
parents neglected to name him. Once
the boy starts school, his teacher gives
him the name Balram. As the narrator
and main character, Balram tells his life
story. Balram’s India is filled with
corrupt politicians, exploitive employers,

Discover

as it was
meant to be.
he Member Events Committee
continues to seek nominations of
outstanding juniors and teens for the Al
Tauscher Junior and Teen Recognition
Award.
The purpose and rationale of the Al
Tauscher Teen and Junior Award is to
recognize positive behavior among
MAC’s teen and junior members. The
award’s emphasis is placed on overall
participation rather than singular excellence.
Candidates must maintain a 3.0 grade
point average for juniors and 3.5 for
teens, and must participate in MAC
social and athletic activities. Junior
candidates should be enrolled in grades
six through eight; teen candidates should
be enrolled in grades nine through 12.
This is a great opportunity to give
positive reinforcement to the accomplishments of the club’s outstanding
younger members. Members who know
of worthy candidates for this award
should encourage them to apply.
The deadline for nomination form
submission is Friday, Feb. 6. At that time,
a qualifying package is given to each
candidate, who needs to obtain three
affidavits by Friday, March 6. Members
may obtain a nomination form on
theMAC.com or in Member Services.

Your Resource for Epic Journeys & Adventures
Travelers Head To
Canada, Africa
AC offers two exciting travel
opportunities for members and their
guests.
First, a MAC group travels to Canada
Sunday, June 28 through Saturday, July 4.
The first stop is Montreal, Eastern
Canada’s premier city, where the group
spends two nights in a leading boutique
hotel. Activities here include a sightseeing
tour that covers the city’s principal sights,
including McGill University and Mont
Royal, and a visit to Notre Dame
Cathedral.
The group also takes a Bateau-Mouche
cruise on the Saint-Lawrence River,
which provides an opportunity to capture
the city’s profile from a different perspective.
The journey continues to the quaint
city of Quebec for a three-night stay.
Activities include a walking tour of Old
Quebec City, and an excursion to Ste
Anne de Beaupre and Montmorency Falls.
Africa excursion
MAC plans a trip to Africa Saturday,
Sept. 19 through Friday, Oct. 2.
Southern Africa has become a visitor’s
mecca during the past few years.The
mystical uniqueness of that corner of the
world lies in its wondrous natural wealth,
its spectacle of exotic and diverse wildlife
and untamed wilderness scenery.
While in Southern Africa, travelers
have the unequaled opportunity to experience inspiring game drives, the majesty
of Victoria Falls, and the drama of the
Cape of Good Hope, interspersed with
tasting fine wines, strolling formal botanical gardens, and visiting a historic Dutch
town.Travelers stay in a private game
reserve where they may spot leopards,
lions, elephants, impalas and zebras.The
group explores Cape Town, wine country,
Johannesburg and Soweto, and learns
more about the struggle against apartheid.
The cost of the tour is $7,172 per
person double occupancy and includes all
meals and internal domestic flight
segments. International airfare is not
included and is in addition to the tour
cost. Member Events Manager Lori
Martin hosts the tour and Dick Ranian
Travel Advisors handles all arrangements.

Byron Wright,
author and
native
Oregonian,
speaks to
MAC
members
Tuesday,
April 14 at
7 p.m.
Living in
George Byron
Baker City,
Wright
Tillamook and
Roseburg presented Wright with a lifelong fondness for small places. He wrote
his first story in 1948 in a small lined
notebook when he was nine years old
and living in Baker City.
During a 30-year-plus career in the
not-for-profit sector, Wright devoted his
creative energy to professional writing.
With the formation of a consulting practice with his wife, Betsy, Wright published
books about not-for-profit management,
edited and published a national newsletter
for not-for-profit CEOs, and wrote a
newspaper column for the Daily Journal of
Commerce called the Social Agenda.
Wright’s first novel, the awardwinning Baker City 1948, was influenced
by the unsolved murders of women in
Baker County. The book was published in
2005; the book’s release led to a cold case
investigation to be opened into the old
murders.
Tillamook 1952, published in 2006, was
influenced by the huge Tillamook forest
fire of 1933, the first of the four fires to
become known as the Tillamook Burn.
The third novel of what Wright bills as
the “Oregon trio” was released in the fall
of 2007. Roseburg 1959 is set against the
backdrop of the massive blast of a truckload of explosives that leveled 12 square
blocks of the town’s core.
Wright’s next novel, titled Driving to
Vernonia, is to be published this fall.
The cost is $5 per person. For more
information or to register, call Member
Services at 503-223-8744, or go to

MelloMacs Care For
Others, Community
T
he MelloMacs are a well-known
service choir. Throughout the year, the
group sings at MAC events but also at
retirement centers, hospitals, and nursing
homes throughout town, where they are
greeted with great kindness and joy.
For example, the MelloMacs recently
performed at the Stafford Retirement
Community in Lake Oswego and were
asked to come back as soon as possible.
The Stafford activities coordinator
wanted to know if the group was in
great demand since the show was so
upbeat and fun and encouraged folks to
sing along too. When the Stafford
discovered that the MelloMacs have a
Broadway-themed show planned for the
spring, they booked a return date immediately.
In addition to serving the greater
Portland community, the MelloMacs
have a long history of caring for each
other as well. When choir members are
sick, in the hospital or have a family
emergency, fellow members pitch in to
help. When MelloMacs members have
something to celebrate, they can often
be found in the Sports Pub celebrating
with their choir friends.
MelloMacs friends meet for walks,
dinner, tennis, cards, drinks, or even head
over to the Portland City Grill to hear
Director Gus Papellis play the piano and
sing along. Through good times and bad,
choir members have supported each
other for many years.
Upcoming events
The MelloMacs sing at the Annual
Meeting Tuesday, Feb. 10 and plan to
audition to sing at Beavers and Timbers
games.
All members are invited to join this
great group of folks to sing and to serve.

is for

story by Brad Brant

With traditions dating back thousands of years and
various branches that touch on just about all aspects
of life, yoga has an amazing breadth. Though this
scope, not to mention the Sanskrit terms, may be
daunting, members need not worry.
MAC’s yoga program harnesses the power
of this ancient practice and makes yoga’s wide
range of benefits accessible to members.
Offering classes in general fitness, therapy,
spirituality or a better golf swing, MAC
members are sure to find yoga interesting
and beneficial. And members may discover
that yoga becomes an important part of
their life.
Getting Started with Classes
Yoga at MAC is offered through free daily classes and
periodic workshops. Classes vary by level of experience
with the bulk of these classes being Hatha (pronounced
Haht-ha) yoga, which is considered the yoga discipline
most associated with fitness.
For members new to MAC yoga, a good place to
start is talking with Yoga Coordinator Lisa Bergstrom,
who is also an instructor. She can be reached at
[email protected] or 503-517-7540.
Bergstrom can help members find the right class
based on their experience. She also recommends
that members try different instructors to see if one
in particular suits their style.
Bergstrom coordinates about 12 instructors
at the club. The instructors lead the four
to five classes each weekday, with
times split between mornings
and evenings. Two classes
are available Saturday
and one Sunday.
Jamie Gilbertson discovered that yoga was

yoga page at www.themac.com.
1/22/09 6:38:14 AM
Classes begin with a warm-up, which leads to the poses
or asanas that are the focus of Hatha yoga. The poses combine
the strengthening, elongating, toning and stretching of
specific muscles in a careful balance. Instructors sequence the
asanas so that each pose prepares a muscle group that aids
the effectiveness of the following asana. Instructors observe
participants and often assist individuals to ensure proper
positioning.
Holding certain poses allows participants to find a
balance or a point when they are able to comfortably feel
the maximum effect of the pose, the muscle contraction in
a certain area and the stretching in another area. Bergstrom
says the atmosphere of the classes and the incorporation of
breathing techniques enhance the poses and put members in
the moment. By focusing on the moment, participants are
better able to feel or sense their body and find that balance
point, thus feeling the extent of the pose’s effectiveness. Done
properly, participants reach a state of relaxation and even
meditation.
Workshops Supplement Daily Classes
In addition to the daily class offerings, the MAC yoga
program hosts longer workshops led by renowned yoga
teachers like Desiree Rumbaugh and Kali Ray, both of whom
come to MAC later this year. These workshops typically span
an entire weekend. Classes with a specific focus are taught,
and meals and special relaxation or meditation sessions are
offered. These workshops are informative and insightful and
can feel like a yoga retreat, bringing new energy and ideas to
a participant’s yoga practice.
Another type of workshop offered at the club involves
sport-specific yoga, which targets an individual sport or a
specific athletic maneuver.Yoga teachers have offered advice
to golfers on the mechanics of the golf swing and ways in
which yoga can improve this specific movement. In March,
MAC’s Executive Sous Chef Jim Cox steps out of the kitchen
and shares his passion for both cycling and yoga.
Cox, who is a certified yoga teacher and leads general
yoga classes and private sessions for cyclists outside of the
club, leads participants through specific asanas that he uses
regularly to enhance his cycling and counter common
cycling injuries. Cox shares specific asana sequences and
guides participants into proper positioning. He stresses the
importance of evaluating body mechanics and sources of
discomfort, which can then be addressed by yoga.
“Yoga and cycling are tailor-made for each other,” Cox
says.
Proper asana positioning, he says, builds muscle memory
that results in better positioning when in the saddle pedaling.
Understanding the relationship between certain muscle pairs,
like the quadriceps and hamstring, helps to realize an effective
asana. And properly sequenced asanas can lead to effective
stretching of targeted muscles and connective tissue, which in
turn can relieve tension on related areas of the body.
The pivotal yoga pose for cyclists, says Cox, targets the
hip/hamstring connection that is the engine for cyclists.
The pose is the one-legged king pigeon or Eka Pada Raja
George Kalomiris began yoga class in hopes
of improving his golf swing. Yoga proved to be
a fitness routine much easier on his body than
distance running.
Yoga Etiquette
In consideration of the yoga practice and the yoga class,
participants should honor the following rules:
• Arrive to class five minutes early and plan to stay
until the end. Do not leave during savasana.
• Anyone who arrives late should wait patiently at
the door until the end of the meditation or reading,
then gather equipment and unroll the mat quietly.
• Do not stand outside the studio doors and
talk loudly when a class is in session.
• Keep talking to a minimum.
• Address questions and concerns to the teacher.
This includes injuries, pregnancy and medical issues.
• Come with an empty stomach.
• Choose a class that is a suitable level.
• Wear appropriate clothing, which includes shorts,
T-shirts, footless leggings, unitards and tank tops.
• Respect the yoga studio as a fragrance-free zone.
• Turn off cell phone before class begins.
• Return equipment in a responsible manner:
mat rolled firmly and blanket folded neatly.
• Come with an open mind and a willingness to learn.

Yoga
is for ever
everyone
Kapotasana. The name isn’t important, he says, and really
that’s the beauty of yoga. The benefits are there regardless of
the beliefs you bring to yoga, he says. “The goal of yoga is to
practice yoga, and as a side effect, life comes into alignment.”
Yoga Becomes a Habit
Jamie Gilbertson was introduced to yoga three years ago
after injuring her knee. She was eager to heal and return to
triathlon competitions, so when Bergstrom suggested yoga
Gilbertson gave it a try. She was impressed with the response
of her knee injury, and now she attends yoga class three days a
week. It’s a great supplement to her regular fitness routine, she
says.
She says her core is stronger or more stable as a result of
the yoga poses. The slow movements and range of motion
the poses require strengthen “little muscles,” and this, she says,
is a complement to her regular training. “It’s a way to keep
my body in balance,” she says. Gilbertson also appreciates the
quiet time and inward focus that yoga classes offer.
Like Gilbertson, Robbie and Ann Johannesen are athletes
who discovered yoga to be indispensable. Six years ago the
couple enrolled in their first yoga class. Robbie wanted to
rehab a triathlon-related hip injury, and Ann held a longtime
curiosity about yoga. They say MAC instructors were helpful
during this introductory period, allowing them to safely enjoy
the classes. “The instructors we have are fabulous,” says Ann.
The Johannesens discovered that yoga provided new
challenges and a unique experience with each class. The
unique experience is partly a safety concern, they say. On any
given day, for a variety of reasons, the body may be more or
less responsive. For this reason, yoga emphasizes practicing
in the moment and listening to the body at all times.Yoga is
between you and the mat, they say, and this allows it a certain
freedom and makes for a different experience each day.
“Yoga is a positive addiction,” Robbie says. It is now part
of the couple’s lifestyle. If they take a trip they always pack
their yoga mats and set aside time to practice. However, they
say the classroom setting is hard to replace. The instructor’s
choice of asana sequencing and guidance and the sense of
community are aspects they find important. The remodel of
Studio II has created a more inviting space, Ann says.
Robbie and Ann say they appreciate that yoga is
something they can practice together, and something that
always provides new challenges. “There’s no end to what
direction you can go,” Robbie says.
George Kalomiris agrees that yoga presents an amazing
challenge. He took a MAC class three years ago in hopes of
improving his golf swing, and now he comes two or three
times a week, usually attending Nick Manci’s Power Vinyasa
Yoga Level 3 class. The first level 3 class he attended left

Kalomiris a little overwhelmed. “I couldn’t imagine how
anyone was doing that stuff,” he says. But with hard work
he developed his strength and flexibility and found that he
enjoyed the challenge presented by Manci’s class.
The strength and flexibility has helped his golf game,
and now he has a fitness routine that is a lot easier on his
body than the distance running that was once his focus. “It
ended up taking on a life of its own,” Kalomiris says of his
yoga practice. “Now I get the same feeling I could get from
running, and it’s better for me.”
Linda Nelson has taken MAC yoga classes since the
program’s inception in the 1990s when one member coach
taught a single evening class. On her 35th birthday, Nelson
was overheard mentioning yoga and was invited to try a class.
She did, and she was on her way. When yoga classes began at
MAC she became a regular. She says she did it for a long time
for the increased flexibility it gave her, but at some point she
realized yoga more than exercise.
“I became aware of how good I felt after yoga class,” she
says. “It transforms my life.”
Through special yoga workshops at MAC Nelson began
training for yoga teaching certification, and today she teaches
classes and has a home studio.Yoga is the central focus of
her fitness routine now, supplemented by vigorous outdoor
walking. “Fresh air aerobic exercise is the only thing missing,”
she says. “Yoga offers everything else I need.” n

Decathletes Prep For
Spring Competition
T
he annual MAC Team Decathlon
competition completed another
successful and “fitful” week of events in
November.
Twenty-one teams completed the
competition. Team categories included:
male-male, female-female, male-female,
father-son, mother-daughter, brothersister, spouse and the MAC Board of
Trustees.
The Team Decathlon’s 10 events are:
bench press, pull-ups, rowing, stationary
bike, jumping rope, vertical leap, mile
run, shuttle run, basketball free throws
and 50-yard swim. True to the team
concept, each member participates in
five events.
While competition among and
between teams makes for a lively time, it
is the training and skill enhancement
that represents the true benefits. In addi-
tion, team members enjoy the support
and camaraderie they provide one
another.
An equally important but less-publicized benefit of participation is the
post-event pizza and beverage party
hosted by the Decathlon Committee.
That was certainly true this year. The
get-together was well attended and
provided an opportunity to swap the
best of training and competition yarns.
Spring Decathlon
Many members are building on the
gains made in training for the team
event by preparing for the Spring Classic
Decathlon in May. The associated
Ironman and Ironwoman competition
provides added opportunities for challenging members’ fitness levels and skill
sets.

skill known as “learning to learn”
is a typical way karate students learn: by
receiving instruction and by trial and
error. A more advanced method is for
students to learn from what they’ve been
taught.
Part of the mental and philosophical
benefits of studying martial arts comes
from its repetitive nature. Repetitions are
essential to learning techniques and being
able to do them without thinking in an
emergency situation.
Realizing the true benefit from the
repetition of techniques is the heart of
modern budo, or martial ways. Karate-do,
judo and kendo are forms of budo. Budo
is foremost a spiritual discipline; its ultimate goals, achieved through rigorous and
systematic physical training, are self-realization and self-perfection.
Budo stresses values leading to spiritual
development of the individual rather than
the cultivation of warlike virtues, i.e.
karate-do is more than just learning how
to punch stuff real hard.The overriding
goal of budo is to develop what is known
in Zen terms as “mushin” or “no-mind.”
No-mind can be defined as the complete
self-mastery that permits direct and appropriate action unhindered by calculation or
forethought.
Once a practitioner is on the way to
achieving a state of “no mind,” they can
apply this knowledge to all areas of life.
Mini tournament
All karate students and their families
should plan to attend a mini-tournament
with two other local dojos at MAC Friday,
Feb. 6 at 6:30 p.m. in Studio I.This fun
event is practice for the upcoming tournament season and is a chance to meet
students from other schools. Families are
encouraged to attend to learn the rules of
tournament scoring and to practice
volunteering at tournaments.

Historic Vignettes
Spice Up MAC Hikes
ne bright spring day MAC hikers
were touring South Portland and the
urban renewal area. Longtime hiker Ed
Schneider grew up in that section of
Portland.
On Southwest College Street, between
4th and 5th, he called the group’s attention
to a small, white house, the only one
remaining on that street.Today it houses a
Middle Eastern restaurant, but when
Schneider was a child, that’s where Mrs.
Neushin lived and made her famous
pickles in the basement. Mrs. Neushin was
Schneider’s great aunt.
A bunch of her lady friends used to sit
on the front porch and peel garlic for the
pickles, and Schneider would join them.
When the brine was ready, the pickles
were put in large wooden barrels, and Mrs.
Neushin would conscript the homeless
and the wayfarers from Burnside and the
waterfront to roll the barrels up and down
the sidewalk in front of the house in order
to properly mix the pickles.
Personal vignettes such as Schneider’s
story often surface and add interest and
historic perspective to many of the hikes
undertaken by MAC walkers and hikers.
For instance, Spencer Snow cannot walk
past Ainsworth Grade School without
singing the Ainsworth school song.
Curiosity about these enthusiastic musical
outbreaks has increased participation on
city walks passing this way.
On the same urban walk of Mrs.
Neushin’s historic tales, the group visited a
used bookstore in the Lair Hill neighborhood in a building that was once a church.
It was the quintessential used bookstore:
crowded, charmingly dingy, floor-toceiling books, and smelling just like a used
bookstore should smell.
In 1942, Plum Snow’s great aunt wrote
a novel, which, due to the war effort, had
but a single printing. If one were to find a
copy of this rare book, this bookstore
would be the perfect place. A query was
made, and, yes, as a matter of fact, the store
had two copies.The proprietor knew
precisely where to look. Both copies were
duly purchased, thus completing a set of
three, one each for Plum’s three daughters.
Wes Post had a similar experience after
a hike in the Columbia River Gorge.
Hikers stopped for lunch at historic
Viewpoint Inn.Wes noticed a painting in
the adjacent sitting room that looked
similar to those painted in the early 1900s
by his great grandfather, Charles W. Post.
C.W. Post was born in Ohio in 1857,
studied art in Paris and Rome, and in the
midst of a successful career in the Midwest,
moved to Oregon in 1906. He purchased
10 acres in the Corbett area in 1908 and
concentrated on paintings of the
Columbia River Gorge. He built a studio
at Chanticleer Point, which is today the
site of the Portland Women’s Forum Park.
Sure enough, the painting Wes spotted was
painted by C.W. Post, from the site of his
studio looking east past what today is the
location of Vista House.Today Post’s paintings are considered an important adjunct
to the history of the Gorge prior to the
construction of the original Columbia
River Highway. Many of his paintings are
on display in the Vista House.
More recently, the hikers took an urban
stroll through Nob Hill and were joined
by a newcomer, Bob McKillop. As the
Hiker Wes Post discovered
the work of his great grandfather during a lunch break
taken at Viewpoint Inn.
group approached Good Samaritan
Hospital, retired physician Jan Collins
pointed out that where the medical office
building now stands at 21st and Lovejoy,
there was, in the 1960s, a converted
mansion that housed medical residents,
including him. One wet, slippery night,
Collins was called to the hospital, and in
his haste slipped on some wet leaves and
wrenched his knee. The on-call orthopedic surgeon that
evening in 1967 happened to be McKillop,
who later repaired Collins’ knee. And he
must have done a good job, because
Collins is still hiking in his retirement.
Group walks and hikes are not just
about the destination.They are about the
journey. And the journey is all about the
experiences along the way that day and the
stories from the past. Members are invited
to join the fun, and share their story.
Walks and hikes are scheduled
throughout the year on nearly every
Tuesday and Wednesday.The full schedule
of outings is published in The Journey at
the Walking & Hiking home page at
theMAC.com. Check it out, or call
Integrative Fitness at 503-517-7539 for a

Children Learn New
Skill At OAP Event
F
amily Fridays got a little wet and wild
Nov. 7 thanks to the Outdoor Activities
Program.
For the past several years, OAP
committee members have volunteered at a
Family Fridays event to introduce youngsters to a variety of outdoor activities,
allowing them to check out and demonstrate specialized equipment.This year, OAP
took the demonstrations to the 50-meter
Pool.
One of the most popular stations was
the scuba demonstration, sponsored by
Steve’s Scuba, the company that provides
instruction for OAP’s scuba certification
program. Donned in wetsuits and underwater gear, the volunteers helped fit
youngsters with a mask and showed them
how to use a real scuba tank regulator.
Properly outfitted, the children then
swam to the bottom of the pool and experienced the magic of breathing underwater.
Several participants kept coming back to
revel in the moment.
OAP offers activities, trips and training
to members who would like to explore the
outdoors. Rock climbing, rafting, kayaking,
surfing, orienteering, mountaineering, back
country skiing, scuba adventures and fly
fishing are regularly offered.

RACQUETBALL PLANS FOR
SPRINGTIME PLAY
T
he Racquetball Committee showcased its talents in two holiday
extravaganzas.
The annual Turkey Shoot was held the
week of Thanksgiving. The tournament
format allows players of all skill levels to
compete against each other based on a
points handicap schedule.
Jan Green and Timm Locke ran the
event. Noho Marchesi provided food and
the prize turkeys.
Results
1st – Jim Connolly
2nd – Ed O’Hanlon
3rd – Locke
4th – Andrew Ferguson
The committee also ran a three-day
holiday doubles event. Participants played
multiple opponents with multiple partners at various levels. The event was
designed to draw all level players to play
with and against people they don’t usually
interact with.
Participation was good and the
competition was fierce. Special thanks go
to O’Hanlon and Doug Rowland for
hosting the event. Don Reed also gets
warm thanks for the smoked salmon.
Looking ahead
Winter intramurals are underway;
competition continues Thursday evenings
until March 5. Those who have stayed
away because of the chill of winter need
not worry because spring intramurals are
just around the corner. The intramurals
have an opt-out clause.
Those who have played in the winter
are automatically signed up for spring.
Players must e-mail rfranklin@themac.

Bandon Dunes golf
Twenty lucky MAC members spent
Thanksgiving weekend enjoying spectacular weather in spectacular
surroundings at the Bandon Dunes Golf
Resort on the Southwestern Oregon
coast. Saturday’s play was at Pacific
Dunes, the No. 1 rated course that is
open to the public in the country,
followed by No. 5 Bandon Dunes on
Sunday. Both days saw weather in the
middle to upper 60s, no wind, and
plenty of sunshine.
Two teams of 10 each played a modified Stableford on Saturday, with the
winning team receiving accolades and a
few MAC logo balls for having such a
win-win day. Some players also enjoyed
an after-golf tour of the new Old
MacDonald course currently under
construction. It was the group’s
consensus that this is another first-class
course that may even surpass the others
in ratings when completed.
Dinner on Saturday was preceded by
the annual Civil War football game
between Oregon and Oregon State.
There was plenty of support for both
teams, and a lively group enjoyed
watching the game. A few libations may
have even been wagered during the
contest.
The 2009 event is Saturday, Dec. 5
and Sunday, Dec. 6, with a possible
preview round of the Old MacDonald
course on Friday for those who are
interested.
Winter reading
Why not pick up a good book to
read during these short winter days?
Golf in the Kingdom by Michael
Murphy was published in 1972 and
became an instant classic. The book is a
unique confluence of fiction, philosophy,
myth, mysticism, enchantment, and golf
instruction. The central character is
Shivas Irons, a golf professional by vocation and a shaman by design. The story
culminates in a wild night of whiskey
and wisdom, where Irons demonstrates
how the swing reflects the soul. This is a
must-read for any golfer.
Dream Golf, the Making of Bandon Dunes
by Stephen Goodwin was published in
2006. This book is a must-read for those
who have played there, plan on playing
there, or are just interested in golf.
This is a story of a man with a dream
as well as the vision and passion to make
it come true. The dream was to build a
great American links course, one that
would contain all of the excitement of
the famous golfing destinations in
Scotland and Ireland, storied places such
as St. Andrews and Ballybunion. The
man was Mike Kaiser, an entrepreneur
and amateur golf enthusiast and founder
of the successful company Recycled
Paper Greetings.
Dream Golf is the story of how, with
the help of some of the most colorful –
and occasionally controversial – men in
golf, Kaiser transformed a remote area
on Oregon’s Pacific Coast into not one,
but three of the most stunning, challenging, and highly ranked courses in
the world.

a list of resolutions related to improving
their fitness level, learning a new skill, or
perhaps spending quality time with
family and friends. Many may be
surprised to discover that their golf game
can help them accomplish these and
many other health and wellness goals.
Golfers walk an average of five miles
over the course of an 18-hole round.
With most regulation courses measuring
between 6,000 and 7,000 yards, the
benefits of walking and playing the game
on a regular basis are well documented. In addition, the time spent in this
worthwhile pursuit can be done in the
company of family and friends.
Now that two out of three resolutions are accomplished by simply
deciding to play more golf in 2009, one
question remains: How can golfers
incorporate new skills that result in
measurable game improvement in the
coming year? Throughout the course of
the season, members can learn a number
of simple strategies that offer immediate
results, from choosing the proper equipment for a swing, to effectively
managing emotions on the course.

This year during the 19th Hole Golf
Banquet, MAC member Danita
Chandler, teacher of the Pilates Method,
spoke about a few Pilates-based exercises
to improve the golf game during the
cold winter months in Oregon. Three
basic exercises were covered, and the
new Golf Committee chairman, Jamie
Summer, demonstrated these exercises.
The first exercise is intended to use
the breath to help support the swing.
The second and third exercises use a
waiter’s bow position to increase awareness to where the spine is and how it is
moving.
1. The breath. Begin by sitting in a
chair. Sit as tall as able, right on the
bottom bones of the pelvis. To breath
optimally, inhale through the nose with
the mouth closed. Every inhale taken is
an opportunity to lift out of compressing
the spine. Think of expanding the ribs to
the sides and back of the body with each
inhale. In turn, the exhale comes out
through the mouth with the lips open
and jaw soft. The exhale contracts the
abdominal wall. In essence, lift on the
inhale and contract on the exhale.
2. The posture. The second exercise is
intended to find the optimal position of
the spine prior to the swing of the club.
While standing, set the feet hip-width
apart and engage the abdominal muscles.
Bend at the hips and lean the knees
forward into a tall diagonal line as if
preparing to swing the club. The spine is
in a neutral position, meaning that the
low back is neither tucked nor flattened
out and the head is tall and reaching out
of the body.
In this position place a golf club
parallel to the spine, hooking the club
over the head. The goal is to get the club
to connect with the head, mid back, and
pelvis. By placing the club along the
spine, one can feel what part of the spine
is connected to the club. There should
be a small curve in the low back and
neck. These two places along the spine
should not be touching the club.
3. The swing. Lastly, take the waiter’s
bow position without the club and bring
the forehead against a wall. The arms are
straight out to the side of the body and
the weight of the body is centered
evenly through the feet. Keeping the
pelvis stable and the eyes on the floor,
rotate the ribcage to the right and then
left.
The arms move with the ribs but
maintain their reach apart from one
another. Try adding the inhale when
rotating to the right and an exhale with
the follow-through swing. Try this exercise eight times and then reverse the
swing.
Each of these exercises can improve a
golfer’s game. Working them into a dry
land workout increases awareness of
breath, posture and movement. Add
them two to three days a week. The
longer and taller the spine, the more
movement there is in rotating the spine.

Tennis player makes his mark
MAC member and
tennis player Dougal
Williams won the
USTA men’s 30
national grasscourt
championship, both in
singles and in doubles,
last September. This
significant tennis
accomplishment was
written about, talked
about and celebrated
by those who could
relate to the magnitude of the feat. What
may be even more
impressive is what
followed.
After winning the
Nike Oregon State
Championships in the men’s 30-andolder division, Williams earned enough
points to move into the top 25 in the
national rankings. This, followed with
the win previously mentioned, added
enough points to rank Williams third
nationally.
In December, Williams competed in
the USTA men’s
30 national clay
court championships and finished
third; together with
his doubles partner
he finished second
to the No. 1
ranked team in the
nation. The thirdand second-place
finishes earned
Williams enough
points to end up
nationally ranked
as the No. 1 men’s
30 player in both
singles and doubles.
Most players have
to play in many
Dougal Williams events to earn
enough points to gain ranked status.
Williams played in three and is now
ranked No. 1, a truly remarkable
achievement. Who says Oregon is too
wet for outdoor tennis?
Williams was raised in Sunriver,
attended Bend High School,
Northwestern University, and played
No. 1 at University of Oregon before
traveling the world playing tennis on
mini-tours. While living in Palm Springs,
Williams regularly hit with Laver,
Woodforde, Courier and Martin. Now,
the father of two children and married
to Katie Becker, a former professional
golfer, the Williams family epitomizes
family first while integrating athletic
excellence.
Williams’ goal, given this success, is to
qualify for the Italia Cup Team, the
men’s 35-and-older team comprised of
four players selected each year based on
their national ranking from competition
in various national tournaments. The
United States Tennis Association makes
the selection. Teams compete at the
International Tennis Federation seniors/

super-seniors world team championships,
the most coveted team event on the ITF
seniors circuit. Age groups from 35 to 80
compete against 375 teams from 38
countries.
The 2009 event is in April in
Majorca, Spain. Because Williams turns
35 in the spring, he qualifies to play on
the 35-year-old team, if chosen.
To put the competition in perspective, McEnroe, Becker, Cherkasov,
Wilkinson, and Groen are former professionals who have competed in the event.
League play
If it seems like it’s difficult to book a
tennis court, just remember that
although two USTA leagues have
finished, there are two other leagues
running now.
The USTA adult mixed doubles and
senior league seasons finished in January,
as MAC sent several teams to playoffs.
Senior teams played Jan. 16-18 and
mixed doubles league teams played
Jan. 31-Feb. 1.
MAC was one of the sites used for
senior playoff matches. Look for results
from these playoffs in the March issue of
The Winged M, or view them on the
USTA Web site, www.usta.com.
The regular adult league gets
underway this month as matches begin
Friday, Feb. 13. Matches are played on
the weekends. The season runs through
Sunday, June 14 with playoffs beginning
the following Thursday.
The 2009 super senior league season
is already underway and concludes the
middle of May. Matches are played in the
early afternoons on Thursdays and
Fridays.
If that is not enough league action,
remember that MAC enjoys the prestige
of fielding 10 teams in the Greater
Portland City League program. Enjoy
matches Tuesdays from 11:30 a.m.-2 p.m.
and Wednesdays from noon-3 pm. Keep

Masters Swimmers
Compete With The Best
T
he annual MAC masters swim
meet was Dec. 7 in the West Pool. More
than 80 swimmers registered for the
meet, including athletes from California,
Washington and Canada.
MAC masters team captain Sharon
Foley organized the meet, and was
assisted by Julie Carpenter, Karl Von
Tagen, Becca Yates and Dianne
Sherwood. This year, members of the
Grant High School swim team assisted as
timers, directed by their coach, MAC
swimmer Laura Tyrrell.
MAC masters swimmers were Ginger
Pierson, Lee Miesen, Eric Wan, Brent
Washburne, Aaron Parker, Ward Mann,
Reggie Sherwood, Jim Bigler, Mike
Peyton and Mike Silvey.
Miesen broke a five-year-old record
for the 100 breaststroke by about seven
seconds. He also set a previously open
record for the 200 breaststroke in the
80-84 age group.
Brent Washburne had a three-peat
performance by setting an Oregon state
record in three consecutive meets. At this
meet, he broke an almost 20-year-old
record in the 45-49 age group for the 50
butterfly by just 0.04 seconds.
