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

M a n a g e r ’ s<br />
c o l u m n<br />
Tradition within<br />
the club calls for an<br />
orderly transition from<br />
one Board of Trustees<br />
to another every<br />
February. We are in the<br />
final days of this transition<br />
and it is with a<br />
great sense of loyalty<br />
and admiration that I no r m ri c h<br />
thank our retiring Ge n e r A l mA n A G e r<br />
board me<strong>mb</strong>ers for<br />
their many contributions to the betterment<br />
of our club.<br />
President Nancy Fuhrman has worked<br />
tirelessly at leading our club the past year.<br />
Her passion is obvious and heartfelt and<br />
she has responded to the me<strong>mb</strong>ership<br />
every way imaginable with concern and<br />
respect for this wonderful institution. Her<br />
commitment to her responsibilities has<br />
been remarkable, with a hectic work<br />
schedule, being a mother and grandmother,<br />
and as partner to Patrick.<br />
Vice President Bill Zander, a lifelong<br />
me<strong>mb</strong>er who cares deeply for this institution<br />
and asks the questions that others may<br />
not want to ask, has contributed enormously<br />
to our club. He has represented all<br />
me<strong>mb</strong>ers with zeal and zest to guide the<br />
board to making hard decisions.<br />
Treasurer Jim Flynn has helped guide<br />
the club to a great financial place this past<br />
year. We met budgeted revenue with severe<br />
Dece<strong>mb</strong>er weather and controlled<br />
expenses with a difficult economy. Moving<br />
forward we are mindful of spending<br />
money wisely but with an eye for the<br />
future, which is so important for the long<br />
term. Jim guided the budget process to a<br />
balanced and successful conclusion.<br />
Secretary Vivian Solomon has contributed<br />
greatly to getting it right on every<br />
detail. Her well-trained legal mind has<br />
guided us thoughtfully through many<br />
discussions on demanding topics, with<br />
successful conclusions through it all.<br />
Partnering with Robin Becic, Luanna<br />
Grow, George Hosfield, Ross Meinhart,<br />
Sydney Baer, Phil Juckeland, Rob<br />
Thompson and Leslie Vanbellinghen, these<br />
officers had the vision to guide us to a<br />
better place thanks to a team effort.<br />
I have gotten to know four wonderful<br />
trustees better, and gained tremendous<br />
respect for them and all they have contributed<br />
to our club. I have also gotten to<br />
know their spouses better and want to<br />
thank Patrick, Reidun and David for<br />
allowing them to spend so much time<br />
with us.<br />
I also want to welcome new trustees<br />
Lisa Girard, Bill June, Ron Neiger and<br />
Vicki Tagliafico as they join a group of<br />
dedicated trustees who guide us through<br />
the next three years of good times and<br />
great challenges.<br />
The club has enjoyed a good year: we<br />
have achieved a lot but never enough.<br />
Looking back we remodeled the Main<br />
Lobby and Reading Lounge, the Grand<br />
Ballroom and restrooms next to the ballroom;<br />
upgraded carpeting in many areas;<br />
bought new athletic equipment; upgraded<br />
squash courts; and added many TVs to the<br />
exercising and conditioning areas. We<br />
invested in the me<strong>mb</strong>er parking structure<br />
and many other infrastructure projects.<br />
Lastly, your club is in a good financial<br />
position. We are attempting to offer<br />
me<strong>mb</strong>er value in as many places as<br />
possible. Yes, the dues increased, most<br />
notably due to increased funded depreciation,<br />
utility and property tax increases, and<br />
to a lesser degree, employee expenses and a<br />
loss of interest income due to the struggling<br />
economy. We have many new and<br />
exciting things happening around the club<br />
and encourage you to check them out. I<br />
value your me<strong>mb</strong>ership and encourage<br />
you to make the most of the club during<br />
these challenging times.<br />
Please join fellow me<strong>mb</strong>ers at the<br />
Annual Meeting Tuesday, Feb. 10 at<br />
5:30 p.m. as an orderly transition is carried<br />
out and everyone enjoys free prime rib.<br />
There are other major events<br />
happening at the club this month. Sample<br />
the expertise of our new executive chef,<br />
Philippe Boulot, at the Super Bowl Party<br />
Sunday, Feb. 1; Crab Feed Wednesday,<br />
Feb. 4 through Saturday, Feb. 7; and<br />
Valentine’s Day dinner and dance Saturday,<br />
Feb. 14.<br />
Also, be sure to watch the finest in<br />

Ask the Spine Expert<br />
Q: I want to � nd the least invasive surgery to relieve my<br />
back pain. What procedure is my best option?<br />
A: For many of the most common sources of chronic back pain, including<br />
spinal stenosis and herniated discs, a minimally invasive laminotomy can<br />
provide you with eff ective pain relief with very little risk of complications.<br />
The purpose of this procedure is to free a constricted spinal nerve from<br />
painful pressure. The back pain specialists at the OHSU Spine Center are<br />
experts at minimally invasive laminotomy, as well as a full spectrum of<br />
back pain treatments designed to meet your individual needs.<br />
At the OHSU Spine Center, you have access to comprehensive diagnosis<br />
and treatment, including physical therapy and rehabilitation, for all backrelated<br />
pain. Our specialists can help fi nd the source of your pain and<br />
design a treatment plan just for you.<br />

In reflecting upon<br />
my first 12 months at<br />
MAC, a nu<strong>mb</strong>er of<br />
things came to mind.<br />
Here are a few highlights<br />
by the nu<strong>mb</strong>ers:<br />
12: Columns I<br />
have written for The<br />
Winged M. I hope you<br />
find these 300-350 ED STO N E R<br />
words a month infor- AT H L E T I C DI R E C TO R<br />
mative and relevant.<br />
900-plus: Gymnasts that compete in<br />
the MAC Open in February. Both the<br />
boys and girls MAC teams won last year’s<br />
25th annual meet. This year’s event<br />
features a meet with the U.S. service<br />
academies.<br />
24: Committees involved in athletics at<br />
MAC. More than 600 me<strong>mb</strong>ers serve on<br />
the MAC committees. Each April<br />
welcomes new me<strong>mb</strong>ers and chairs to<br />
these committees.<br />
3,091: The nu<strong>mb</strong>er of miles my family<br />
moved from Boston to Portland in late<br />
March. The 47 days between my arrival<br />
in Portland and theirs were almost as<br />
trying as learning the club’s 43 activity<br />
and sport committee policies.<br />
76: The nu<strong>mb</strong>er of MAC me<strong>mb</strong>er<br />
coaches that make our programs the best<br />
they can be, whether working with a<br />
specific sport or our summer camps.<br />
27:Years Skip Runkle led MAC<br />
swimming prior to his departure in 2008.<br />
His efforts produced many champions<br />
and left a legacy, which I know Alex<br />
Nikitin and his staff continue to build<br />
upon. It also happens to be the nu<strong>mb</strong>er of<br />
Scholar Athletes (high school sophomores)<br />
that MAC honors annually for<br />
their achievement and promise both<br />
athletically and academically.<br />
17,275: Resident me<strong>mb</strong>ers who are<br />
age 7 or older. You make MAC a special<br />
place. It is a pleasure to serve you; so one<br />
big thank you for helping make my first<br />
year at MAC, and my family’s first year in<br />
Oregon, an enjoyable and rewarding one.<br />
14th: Happy Valentine’s Day.<br />
Reme<strong>mb</strong>er to keep your heart healthy<br />
here at MAC. I look forward to seeing<br />
you around the club. �<br />

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

Karl Acker, a MAC Scholar Athlete<br />
from Grant High School, was named to<br />
the first team all-league football team.<br />
Acker was honored specifically as a defensive<br />
utility player, meaning he filled in at<br />
multiple positions. His strengths are<br />
outside linebacker and strong safety. With<br />
Acker’s help Grant advanced to the<br />
second round of the playoffs this year. He<br />
is a senior with plans to attend Florida<br />
A&M. This winter he is preparing for the<br />
track season, and he comes to MAC to<br />
train when he’s not too busy with school.<br />
Ann Blume was named Ms. Early<br />

the club’s early morning exercisers for<br />
about 10 years. She comes each weekday,<br />
and her favorite activity is the boot camp<br />
class. “It’s a wonderful group of people,”<br />
says Blume. “And I enjoy getting in a<br />
workout.” Blume is a veteran of the<br />

For about 13 years New has taken advantage<br />
of his habit of waking early and<br />
coming to the club to join fellow MAC<br />
Early Birds for some exercise and fun. He<br />
comes each weekday for the boot camp<br />
class or the running group, and he says the<br />
camaraderie keeps him coming back.<br />
Monthly events like the Halloween run<br />
through a cemetery before dawn keep<br />
things interesting, and he appreciates Bill<br />
Zander’s birthday and anniversary e-mail<br />
reminders, which are helpful for a sleepdeprived<br />
person’s memory, New says.<br />
Paddy Ryan coaches MAC’s fourth<br />

a league at The Hoop in Beaverton. Ryan<br />
plays competitive basketball at the club<br />
with the MAC A team. At the end of<br />

50-Year Me<strong>mb</strong>ers<br />
by Jennifer Brown<br />
A mong the awards presented to MAC me<strong>mb</strong>ers annually<br />
is the pin given to those who have maintained their resident<br />
me<strong>mb</strong>ership for 50 consecutive years.<br />
Although many me<strong>mb</strong>ers have been born into a club me<strong>mb</strong>ership<br />
or have used the club since their youth as part of a family<br />
me<strong>mb</strong>ership, a person’s me<strong>mb</strong>ership begins once they are elected<br />
as a senior me<strong>mb</strong>er.<br />
At the Annual Meeting Tuesday, Feb. 10, the club acknowledges<br />
32 me<strong>mb</strong>ers for attaining this status. Following are the stories of<br />
several of the me<strong>mb</strong>ers who became senior me<strong>mb</strong>ers in 1958. See<br />
page 17 for a list of this year’s honorees.<br />
� Selwyn A. Bingham �<br />
Selwyn A. Bingham has been a MAC me<strong>mb</strong>er “since day one,”<br />
he says. His grandfather, A.J. Bingham, was a me<strong>mb</strong>er, as were his<br />
father, Selwyn Sr., and his brothers, Stuart and Clarke. Continuing<br />
the tradition are his son Selwyn and three grandchildren.<br />
The biggest change Bingham has seen in the past 50 years is the<br />
nu<strong>mb</strong>er of me<strong>mb</strong>ers. “It was a close club in the beginning; I knew<br />
everyone.” He acknowledges that this growth is neither good nor<br />
bad; “it’s just change,” he says.<br />
Although Bingham now primarily uses the E&C Room, his<br />
past interests included volleyball, basketball and tennis. In the mid<br />
’70s, Bingham played volleyball in nationals, and reme<strong>mb</strong>ers that as<br />
one of the highlights of the past 50 years. He considers the camaraderie<br />
at the club one of the top values of his me<strong>mb</strong>ership.<br />
Bingham served as club president in 1975. During that year, he<br />
was the impetus behind the first Father Daughter Dinner Dance. “My<br />
daughter, Leslie, said to me, ‘You do a father/son event, why not<br />
father/daughter?’” he explains. This successful annual event continues<br />
to be a popular way for fathers and daughters to spend a day together.<br />
The club’s annual Crab Feed was one of Bingham’s conceptions<br />
as well.<br />
� Jack Faust �<br />
Jack Faust joined the club as a recent graduate from law school.<br />
He was looking for a place to play squash and work out. He had<br />
After his year as 1975-76<br />
MAC president, Selwyn<br />
Bingham, Jr. appears ready<br />
and happy to use his gift<br />
from MAC in appreciation<br />
for his dedication.<br />
14 • The Winged M • February 2009<br />
Jack Faust, his wife, Alice<br />
and son, Charlie were<br />
photographed on the Indoor<br />
Track in 1965.<br />
just begun to practice practice law when he became a me<strong>mb</strong>er. At the time,<br />
me<strong>mb</strong>ership cost $50.<br />
Faust Faust and his wife, Alice, have two daughters daughters and and one son.<br />
Although their their daughters daughters gave up up their me<strong>mb</strong>ership, their son,<br />
Charlie, remains an active me<strong>mb</strong>er.<br />
The No. 1 change Faust has seen within the past 50 years is a<br />
common one heard from long-time me<strong>mb</strong>ers: the physical facilities.<br />
The facilities are also what Faust values the most about his<br />
me<strong>mb</strong>ership. He has used several of MAC’s reciprocal clubs, such as<br />
New York, San Francisco, and the Outrigger. “I’ve traveled a lot<br />
around the country,” he says. “The club has no equal.”<br />
Faust has never thought about dropping his me<strong>mb</strong>ership. “It’s a<br />
one-way gate,” he explains. “I would never want to give it up.<br />
There’s nothing that can take its place.”<br />
Throughout the years, Faust was a familiar face on the squash<br />
and tennis courts. Although he has taken a temporary break from<br />
his workouts, he plans to return to the Exercise and Conditioning<br />
Room soon. He and his family also enjoy dining at the club.<br />
Some of Faust’s fondest memories include the “bull sessions”<br />
with different people in the locker room, he says.<br />
� Donald Holman �<br />
Donald Holman received his MAC me<strong>mb</strong>ership as a gift from<br />
his in-laws in recognition of graduating from law school. His wife,<br />
Susan, had been active at the club since she was in third grade.<br />
The Holmans have three children; two of them – Donald Jr. and<br />
Laura O’Brien – have retained their me<strong>mb</strong>erships; eight grandchildren<br />
are me<strong>mb</strong>ers as well.<br />
During the past 50 years, Holman has played a lot of squash and<br />
tennis on MAC’s courts, and has enjoyed using the E&C Room. He<br />
is a past me<strong>mb</strong>er of the club’s Board of Trustees; he served as vice<br />
president during his third and final year on the board in 1985.<br />
One of the biggest changes Holman has seen relates to the board.<br />
“From my observation, the board is doing a better job than we did,”<br />
he says. “They’re more responsive to the me<strong>mb</strong>ership.” Holman is<br />
also pleased with the changes brought to the club by General<br />
Manager Norm Rich.<br />
Outgoing 1985-86 MAC vice<br />
president Don Holman, left,<br />
presented George Robinson his<br />
50-year pin at the Annual Meeting.<br />
Handball player<br />
Jack Scrivens attained a<br />
spot on the club’s Wall of<br />
Fame in 1975.
The friendships Holman has made during the past 50 years are<br />
among the highlights he names. He fondly reme<strong>mb</strong>ers the friendship<br />
with fellow squash player Tom Tom Wrightson, who died in 2000.<br />
The presentation of of the the 50-year pin at at this month’s Annual Annual<br />
Meeting is a tradition with with which Holman is familiar. When he was<br />
the club’s vice president, it was his duty to hand out the 50-year pins.<br />
� � Jack Scrivens �<br />
Jack Scrivens became a MAC me<strong>mb</strong>er via his athletic skills. He<br />
was playing basketball on a scholarship at University of Portland<br />
when the club approached him to become an athletic me<strong>mb</strong>er.<br />
After playing basketball for the club for three years, the club<br />
waived his me<strong>mb</strong>ership fee. Scrivens played basketball for five years<br />
then switched his interests to handball and squash.<br />
“My MAC me<strong>mb</strong>ership is one of the best things that ever<br />
happened to me,” Scrivens says. “It’s a real privilege.”<br />
At one point, Scrivens lived in one of the private rooms at the club.<br />
“I thought I was in seventh heaven,” he says. “During that time I was<br />
paying $65 a month, which included maid service. My room had two<br />
windows that overlooked the stadium and tennis courts.” During the<br />
holidays, when the club was closed, Scrivens and the other men who<br />
lived on site “had run of the place,” Scrivens says. That freedom ended<br />
in the early 70s, when phase II was being built.<br />
Scrivens is one of 65 me<strong>mb</strong>ers on the club’s Wall of Fame for<br />
handball victories in both 1975 and 1976. Scrivens and the late Mel<br />
Fox, who served as the club’s athletic director for 17 years, both<br />
attended Franklin High School. “When I won the championship, he<br />
told me, ‘I’m gonna take care of you,’” Scrivens says. “I had the biggest<br />
picture on the wall,” he laughs. When the wall was renovated in 2008,<br />
the photos were reprinted and are now comparable in size.<br />
Although Scrivens has given up playing competitive handball<br />
and squash, he continues to walk, lift weights, and participate in<br />
water aerobics.<br />
� Marge Senders �<br />
Anyone walking through the second-floor gyms in the morning is<br />
sure to have seen 50-year me<strong>mb</strong>er Marge Senders racking up her<br />
walking mileage. Senders works out at MAC five days a week; four of<br />
those are spent walking five to six miles each day. Her younger sister,<br />
Elise Rosenfeld, often joins her for part of the walking routine.<br />
Senders also participates in a low-impact aerobics class, and a<br />
stretch and strength class.<br />

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

Budget and Finance<br />
Committee<br />
James A. Flynn, treasurer<br />
MAC has wrapped<br />
up its 118th year of<br />
successful operations.<br />
The new year<br />
with its associated<br />
abundance of football<br />
(go Beavs!)<br />
evokes the MAC’s<br />
beginnings in 1891.<br />
A small group of<br />
independent and<br />
determined football players banded<br />
together to lease a practice/workout space.<br />
This handful of me<strong>mb</strong>ers ran things themselves,<br />
with no paid staff. Thus the hu<strong>mb</strong>le<br />
beginnings of our <strong>Club</strong>.<br />
As time went by, other me<strong>mb</strong>ers joined.<br />
Soon a permanent clubhouse and staff were<br />
added and MAC programs developed and<br />
diversified under the me<strong>mb</strong>er-governed<br />
structure that is thriving today. Your fellow<br />
me<strong>mb</strong>ers on the Board of Trustees and the<br />
Budget and Finance Committee are<br />
committed to maintaining the strength of<br />
our club’s balance sheet, the reliability of<br />
our clubhouse, and the implementation of<br />
our club’s mission. We maintain a nonprofit<br />
club tax status; primarily all of our<br />
Independent Auditor’s Report<br />
To the Board of Trustees and Me<strong>mb</strong>ers<br />
<strong>Multnomah</strong> <strong>Athletic</strong> <strong>Club</strong><br />
2008 MAC Financial Report<br />
Editor’s note: The remainder of the 2008-09 year-end committee reports will be published in the<br />
March 2009 Winged M, coinciding with the end of committee activities. Due to MAC Bylaws,<br />
the financial report must be made available to MAC me<strong>mb</strong>ers for the Annual Meeting.<br />
activities are for the common interest and<br />
benefit of our me<strong>mb</strong>ers. We are in a strong<br />
financial position, as demonstrated by the<br />
audited financial statements following this<br />
article.<br />
Having been your treasurer for the past<br />
year, I am pleased to report to you that our<br />
finance function has operated effectively.<br />
Operationally we had a very good year.<br />
Unfortunately, that performance is overshadowed<br />
in the accompanying financial<br />
statements by the material market losses of<br />
the investments in the club’s facility<br />
replacement fund. You will see that the<br />
club’s balance sheet remains strong even<br />
with the current year market reversal.<br />
The Budget and Finance Committee,<br />
with its subcommittees, is an important<br />
part of our me<strong>mb</strong>er governance. We regularly<br />
reviewed monthly financial results,<br />
analyzed insurance coverage, addressed<br />
financial policies as needed, and recommended<br />
the annual budget. The club’s<br />
budget process is very involved and<br />
requires hundreds of hours of staff and<br />
committee me<strong>mb</strong>er time. The result is a<br />
budget that sets dues no higher than necessary<br />
to provide for a prudent balance in<br />
Independent Auditor’s Report<br />
program offerings, facilities maintenance,<br />
and capital funding. Our investment<br />
subcommittee, consisting of fellow<br />
me<strong>mb</strong>ers with professional investment<br />
experience, met quarterly to review the<br />
performance and allocation of our significant<br />
investments.<br />
Finally, the club’s audit committee,<br />
whose mission is to assist the board in its<br />
oversight of financial integrity, operates<br />
under an audit committee charter that<br />
includes several principles similar to those<br />
in Sarbanes Oxley regulations.<br />
I hope you appreciate, as much as I do,<br />
the contributions of all the committee<br />
me<strong>mb</strong>ers involved in the finance function:<br />
subcommittee chairs Dave Brezinski<br />
(budget), Mike Buckley (financial policy),<br />
Tim Gillette (insurance), Nelson Lam<br />
(investments), Matthew Bassist, Robin<br />
Becic, Carl Burnham III, Jeremy<br />
Burroughs, Rob Gray, Darwin Green, Jeff<br />
Gudman, Lori Hesse, Karen Rasmussen<br />
and Rob Thompson. Staff me<strong>mb</strong>ers Tim<br />
Arbogast (CFO/assistant GM), John Foley<br />
(controller) and Belinda Potts provided us<br />
with important guidance and support. n<br />
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of <strong>Multnomah</strong> <strong>Athletic</strong> <strong>Club</strong> (the <strong>Club</strong>) as of Dece<strong>mb</strong>er 31, 2008 and<br />
2007, and the related statements of activities, changes in unrestricted net assets (<strong>Club</strong> equity) and cash flows for the years<br />
then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the <strong>Club</strong>’s management. Our responsibility is to express an<br />
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.<br />
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America.<br />
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial<br />
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting<br />
as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing<br />
an opinion on the effectiveness of the <strong>Club</strong>’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such<br />
opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial<br />
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating<br />
the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.<br />
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of<br />
the <strong>Club</strong> as of Dece<strong>mb</strong>er 31, 2008 and 2007, and the changes in its net assets and its cash flows for the years then ended in<br />
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.<br />

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

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

During the latter half of 2008, the credit and liquidity crisis in the United<br />
States and other countries has resulted in substantial volatility in world financial<br />
markets and the banking system. Several large banking and financial institutions<br />
have been acquired by the federal government; granted government loan<br />
guarantees; taken over by federal regulators; sold in overnight auctions; or, have<br />
initiated bankruptcy proceedings. These and other events have had a significant<br />
negative impact on foreign and domestic financial markets. As a result, the <strong>Club</strong>’s<br />
investment portfolio has incurred significant volatility and unrealized losses due<br />
to depreciation in fair value since Dece<strong>mb</strong>er 31, 2007. Additionally, the values of<br />

the <strong>Club</strong>’s individual investments have and will fluctuate in response to changing<br />
market conditions, the amount of gains or losses that will be recognized in<br />
subsequent periods and the impact on the net assets of the <strong>Club</strong>, if any, cannot be<br />
determined.<br />
Property, plant and equipment<br />
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using<br />
the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets:<br />
<strong>Club</strong>house 40 years<br />
<strong>Club</strong>house and land improvements 7-10 years<br />
Equipment, furniture and fixtures 3-7 years<br />
Parking structure and athletic facilities 10-40 years<br />
Property, plant and equipment acquisitions, renewals, and improvements exceeding<br />
$2,500 are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.<br />
Upon disposal of property subject to depreciation, the accounts are relieved of the<br />
related costs and accumulated depreciation and the resulting gains and losses are<br />
reflected in the statements of activities.<br />
me<strong>mb</strong>ership dues and initiation fees<br />
Me<strong>mb</strong>ership dues are recognized as revenue in the applicable me<strong>mb</strong>ership<br />
period.<br />
The <strong>Club</strong> collects a portion of initiation fees from prospective me<strong>mb</strong>ers as they<br />
are placed on the waiting list and includes these amounts in deferred revenue. The<br />
<strong>Club</strong> also has had programs in place to promote prepayment of initiation fees for<br />
juniors and spouses. Initiation fees are recognized as revenue on acceptance to the<br />
me<strong>mb</strong>ership.<br />
Me<strong>mb</strong>ership dues and initiation fees are due primarily from <strong>Club</strong> me<strong>mb</strong>ers<br />
within the Portland metropolitan area.<br />
Taxes on unrelated business income<br />
The <strong>Club</strong> is a tax-exempt organization under section 501(c)(7) of the Internal<br />
Revenue Code and the Oregon Revised Statutes. It is, however, taxed on its unrelated<br />
business income.<br />
Use of estimates<br />
The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with generally accepted<br />
accounting principles, requires management to make estimates and assumptions<br />
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent<br />
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported<br />
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could<br />
differ from these estimates.<br />
reclassification<br />
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year<br />
presentation.<br />

4. TaxeS On UnrelaTeD BUSIneSS InCOme<br />
Taxes on unrelated business income result primarily from advertising income in<br />
the <strong>Club</strong>’s Winged M publication and from investment earnings, including gains<br />
on sales of investments. The effective tax rate applied to these items of approximately<br />
44 percent differs from the statutory federal rate of 34 percent primarily<br />
due to state and local taxes.<br />
The statements of activities include provisions for taxes on unrelated business<br />
income as follows:<br />
2008 2007<br />
Federal $ 100,154 $ 197,520<br />
State and local 60,250 82,400<br />
Total taxes on unrelated business income $ 160,404 $ 279,920<br />
The <strong>Club</strong> adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for<br />
Uncertainty in Income Taxes, on January 1, 2007. The <strong>Club</strong> had no unrecognized<br />
tax benefits which would require an adjustment to the January 1, 2007 beginning<br />
balance of net assets. The <strong>Club</strong> had no unrecognized tax benefits at Dece<strong>mb</strong>er 31,<br />
2007 and at Dece<strong>mb</strong>er 31, 2008.<br />
The <strong>Club</strong>’s policy is to recognize interest accrued and penalties related to unrecognized<br />
tax benefits as an administrative expense when it applies. During the years<br />
ended Dece<strong>mb</strong>er 31, 2008 and 2007, the <strong>Club</strong> recognized no interest and penalties.<br />
The <strong>Club</strong> files an exempt organization income tax return and an unrelated<br />
business income tax return in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and a copy with the<br />
state charities division and department of revenue. With few exceptions, the <strong>Club</strong><br />
is no longer subject to U.S. federal or state/local income tax examinations by tax<br />
authorities for years before 2002.<br />
5. emPlOyee BenefIT Plan<br />
The <strong>Club</strong> has a salary deferral retirement savings plan under the provisions of<br />
Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code whereby participating employees<br />
may defer a portion of their gross wages. The <strong>Club</strong> makes contributions to the plan<br />
of 3 percent of the base salary of employees and also matching 100 percent of the<br />
first 3 percent of the employee deferral. Total contributions to the plan for the year<br />
ended Dece<strong>mb</strong>er 31, 2008 and 2007 were $676,547 and $696,860 respectively. In<br />
addition, the <strong>Club</strong> pays a portion of administrative expenses of the plan.<br />
6. PenSIOn Plan<br />
The <strong>Club</strong> had a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan covering substantially<br />
all full-time employees, ages 21 and older, with one year of service. The benefits<br />
were based on years of service and the employee’s compensation during the<br />
most recent ten years of employment. The <strong>Club</strong>’s funding policy was to contribute<br />
annually the amount required to be in compliance with the provisions of ERISA.<br />
Contributions were intended to provide not only for benefits attributed to service to<br />
date but also for those expected to be earned in the future. Prior service costs were<br />
amortized using the straight-line method over the average remaining service period<br />
of employees expected to receive benefits under the plan.<br />
The plan was curtailed as of Dece<strong>mb</strong>er 31, 2005. All retirement funds were distributed<br />
during 2008. The gains on the curtailment of the pension plan at Dece<strong>mb</strong>er<br />
31, 2008 was as follows:<br />
Estimated accrued pension liability at<br />
Dece<strong>mb</strong>er 31, 2007<br />
Actual plan obligation paid by the <strong>Club</strong><br />
$ 595,211<br />
to plan participants (395,315)<br />
Gain on curtailment of the pension plan $ 199,896<br />
The gain on curtailment is included in the Statement of Activities for the year<br />
ended Dece<strong>mb</strong>er 31, 2008.<br />
7. COnCenTraTIOn Of CreDIT rISk<br />
The <strong>Club</strong> invests its excess cash in a bank or cash management account. These<br />
deposits may exceed the limits of related depository insurance; however, the <strong>Club</strong><br />
makes such deposits with financial institutions which have not historically incurred<br />
any significant credit related losses. n

Beutler to the club Thursday, March 12.<br />
Attendees enjoy a luncheon presentation<br />
from 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m. as they learn<br />
what to plant to make their garden a cut<br />
above.<br />
Beutler is a fearless gardener whose<br />
first love was in her own garden growing<br />
flowers and foliage for cutting. Her<br />
background includes being a florist for<br />
more than 20 years, as well as an<br />
instructor of a horticulture class for 12<br />
years. She lectures nationally on<br />
numerous gardening topics.<br />
Beutler’s book, Garden to Vase, explains<br />
how to grow and use cut flowers, and is<br />
written with gardeners, not florists, in<br />
mind. She is a garden writer for both<br />
local and national publications, including<br />
Fine Gardening, Pacific Horticulture, and<br />
Birdwatcher’s Digest.<br />
This event includes lunch and dessert.<br />
Those with special dietary restrictions or<br />
seating requests should submit their<br />
requests when making their reservation.<br />
and group support can halt, reverse and<br />
prevent America’s top health threat<br />
without invasive treatment or surgery.<br />
Participants in lifestyle modification<br />
programs that include nutrition, exercise,<br />
stress management and group support<br />

The Evening Book Group’s February<br />
selection is The White Tiger by Aravind<br />
Adiga. This novel won the 2008 Man<br />
Booker Prize.<br />
Adiga was born in India in 1974,<br />
raised partly in Australia, and attended<br />
Colu<strong>mb</strong>ia and Oxford.<br />
At the beginning of the novel, the<br />
narrator’s only name is “boy” because his<br />
parents neglected to name him. Once<br />
the boy starts school, his teacher gives<br />
him the name Balram. As the narrator<br />
and main character, Balram tells his life<br />
story. Balram’s India is filled with<br />
corrupt politicians, exploitive employers,<br />
and servants who do their best to<br />
survive.<br />
To learn what happens, read The<br />
White Tiger and join the Evening Book<br />
Group for a discussion Tuesday, Feb. 24<br />

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

mystical uniqueness of that corner of the<br />
world lies in its wondrous natural wealth,<br />
its spectacle of exotic and diverse wildlife<br />
and untamed wilderness scenery.<br />
While in Southern Africa, travelers<br />
have the unequaled opportunity to experience<br />
inspiring game drives, the majesty<br />
of Victoria Falls, and the drama of the<br />
Cape of Good Hope, interspersed with<br />
tasting fine wines, strolling formal botanical<br />
gardens, and visiting a historic Dutch<br />
town. Travelers stay in a private game<br />
reserve where they may spot leopards,<br />
lions, elephants, impalas and zebras. The<br />
group explores Cape Town, wine country,<br />
Johannesburg and Soweto, and learns<br />
more about the struggle against apartheid.<br />
The cost of the tour is $7,172 per<br />
person double occupancy and includes all<br />
meals and internal domestic flight<br />
segments. International airfare is not<br />

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

The MelloMacs are known for their service to the club and<br />
to the community. The me<strong>mb</strong>ers of this group also support<br />
one another during times of need and times of celebration.<br />
The MelloMacs are a well-known<br />
service choir. Throughout the year, the<br />
group sings at MAC events but also at<br />
retirement centers, hospitals, and nursing<br />
homes throughout town, where they are<br />
greeted with great kindness and joy.<br />
For example, the MelloMacs recently<br />
performed at the Stafford Retirement<br />
Community in Lake Oswego and were<br />
asked to come back as soon as possible.<br />
The Stafford activities coordinator<br />
wanted to know if the group was in<br />
great demand since the show was so<br />
upbeat and fun and encouraged folks to<br />
sing along too. When the Stafford<br />
discovered that the MelloMacs have a<br />
Broadway-themed show planned for the<br />
spring, they booked a return date immediately.<br />
In addition to serving the greater<br />
Portland community, the MelloMacs<br />
have a long history of caring for each<br />
other as well. When choir me<strong>mb</strong>ers are<br />
sick, in the hospital or have a family<br />

pressure, diabetes, obesity and physical<br />
inactivity. The warning signs of a heart<br />
attack are often different in men and<br />
women.<br />
The doors open at 11:45 a.m. and<br />
lunch is served at noon. The cost is $20 per<br />
person.<br />

Yoga<br />
38 • The Winged M • February 2009<br />
is for<br />
everyone<br />
With traditions dating back thousands of years and<br />
various branches that touch on just about all aspects<br />
of life, yoga has an amazing breadth. Though this<br />
scope, not to mention the Sanskrit terms, may be<br />
daunting, me<strong>mb</strong>ers need not worry.<br />
MAC’s yoga program harnesses the power<br />
of this ancient practice and makes yoga’s wide<br />
range of benefi ts accessible to me<strong>mb</strong>ers.<br />
Offering classes in general fi tness, therapy,<br />
spirituality or a better golf swing, MAC<br />
me<strong>mb</strong>ers are sure to fi nd yoga interesting<br />
and benefi cial. And me<strong>mb</strong>ers may discover<br />
that yoga becomes an important part of<br />
their life.<br />
Jamie Gilbertson discovered that yoga was<br />
an effective way to heal a knee injury and<br />
return her to triathlon competition.<br />

Getting Started with Classes<br />
Yoga at MAC is offered through free daily classes and<br />
periodic workshops. Classes vary by level of experience<br />
with the bulk of these classes being Hatha (pronounced<br />
Haht-ha) yoga, which is considered the yoga discipline<br />
most associated with fi tness.<br />
For me<strong>mb</strong>ers new to MAC yoga, a good place to<br />
start is talking with Yoga Coordinator Lisa Bergstrom,<br />
who is also an instructor. She can be reached at<br />
Lbergstrom@themac.com or 503-517-7540.<br />
Bergstrom can help me<strong>mb</strong>ers fi nd the right class<br />
based on their experience. She also recommends<br />
that me<strong>mb</strong>ers try different instructors to see if one<br />
in particular suits their style.<br />
Bergstrom coordinates about 12 instructors<br />
at the club. The instructors lead the four<br />
to fi ve classes each weekday, with<br />
times split between mornings<br />
and evenings. Two classes<br />
are available Saturday<br />
and one Sunday.<br />
A schedule of MAC<br />
yoga classes is available on the<br />
yoga page at www.themac.com.
Classes begin with a warm-up, which leads to the poses<br />
or asanas that are the focus of Hatha yoga. The poses co<strong>mb</strong>ine<br />
the strengthening, elongating, toning and stretching of<br />
specific muscles in a careful balance. Instructors sequence the<br />
asanas so that each pose prepares a muscle group that aids<br />
the effectiveness of the following asana. Instructors observe<br />
participants and often assist individuals to ensure proper<br />
positioning.<br />
Holding certain poses allows participants to find a<br />
balance or a point when they are able to comfortably feel<br />
the maximum effect of the pose, the muscle contraction in<br />
a certain area and the stretching in another area. Bergstrom<br />
says the atmosphere of the classes and the incorporation of<br />
breathing techniques enhance the poses and put me<strong>mb</strong>ers in<br />
the moment. By focusing on the moment, participants are<br />
better able to feel or sense their body and find that balance<br />
point, thus feeling the extent of the pose’s effectiveness. Done<br />
properly, participants reach a state of relaxation and even<br />
meditation.<br />
Workshops Supplement Daily Classes<br />
In addition to the daily class offerings, the MAC yoga<br />
program hosts longer workshops led by renowned yoga<br />
teachers like Desiree Ru<strong>mb</strong>augh and Kali Ray, both of whom<br />
come to MAC later this year. These workshops typically span<br />
an entire weekend. Classes with a specific focus are taught,<br />
and meals and special relaxation or meditation sessions are<br />
offered. These workshops are informative and insightful and<br />
can feel like a yoga retreat, bringing new energy and ideas to<br />
a participant’s yoga practice.<br />
Another type of workshop offered at the club involves<br />
sport-specific yoga, which targets an individual sport or a<br />
specific athletic maneuver. Yoga teachers have offered advice<br />
to golfers on the mechanics of the golf swing and ways in<br />
which yoga can improve this specific movement. In March,<br />
MAC’s Executive Sous Chef Jim Cox steps out of the kitchen<br />
and shares his passion for both cycling and yoga.<br />
Cox, who is a certified yoga teacher and leads general<br />
yoga classes and private sessions for cyclists outside of the<br />
club, leads participants through specific asanas that he uses<br />
regularly to enhance his cycling and counter common<br />
cycling injuries. Cox shares specific asana sequences and<br />
guides participants into proper positioning. He stresses the<br />
importance of evaluating body mechanics and sources of<br />
discomfort, which can then be addressed by yoga.<br />
“Yoga and cycling are tailor-made for each other,” Cox<br />
says.<br />
Proper asana positioning, he says, builds muscle memory<br />
that results in better positioning when in the saddle pedaling.<br />
Understanding the relationship between certain muscle pairs,<br />
like the quadriceps and hamstring, helps to realize an effective<br />
asana. And properly sequenced asanas can lead to effective<br />
stretching of targeted muscles and connective tissue, which in<br />
turn can relieve tension on related areas of the body.<br />
The pivotal yoga pose for cyclists, says Cox, targets the<br />
hip/hamstring connection that is the engine for cyclists.<br />
The pose is the one-legged king pigeon or Eka Pada Raja<br />
continued on page 40<br />
George Kalomiris began yoga class in hopes<br />
of improving his golf swing. Yoga proved to be<br />
a fitness routine much easier on his body than<br />
distance running.<br />
Yoga Etiquette<br />
In consideration of the yoga practice and the yoga class,<br />
participants should honor the following rules:<br />
• Arrive to class five minutes early and plan to stay<br />
until the end. Do not leave during savasana.<br />
• Anyone who arrives late should wait patiently at<br />
the door until the end of the meditation or reading,<br />
then gather equipment and unroll the mat quietly.<br />
• Do not stand outside the studio doors and<br />
talk loudly when a class is in session.<br />
• Keep talking to a minimum.<br />
• Address questions and concerns to the teacher.<br />
This includes injuries, pregnancy and medical issues.<br />
• Come with an empty stomach.<br />
• Choose a class that is a suitable level.<br />
• Wear appropriate clothing, which includes shorts,<br />
T-shirts, footless leggings, unitards and tank tops.<br />
• Respect the yoga studio as a fragrance-free zone.<br />
• Turn off cell phone before class begins.<br />
• Return equipment in a responsible manner:<br />
mat rolled firmly and blanket folded neatly.<br />
• Come with an open mind and a willingness to learn.<br />

Yoga<br />
is for everyone ever<br />
continued from page 39<br />
Kapotasana. The name isn’t important, he says, and really<br />
that’s the beauty of yoga. The benefi ts are there regardless of<br />
the beliefs you bring to yoga, he says. “The goal of yoga is to<br />
practice yoga, and as a side effect, life comes into alignment.”<br />
Yoga Becomes a Habit<br />
Jamie Gilbertson was introduced to yoga three years ago<br />
after injuring her knee. She was eager to heal and return to<br />
triathlon competitions, so when Bergstrom suggested yoga<br />
Gilbertson gave it a try. She was impressed with the response<br />
of her knee injury, and now she attends yoga class three days a<br />
week. It’s a great supplement to her regular fi tness routine, she<br />
says.<br />
She says her core is stronger or more stable as a result of<br />
the yoga poses. The slow movements and range of motion<br />
the poses require strengthen “little muscles,” and this, she says,<br />
is a complement to her regular training. “It’s a way to keep<br />
my body in balance,” she says. Gilbertson also appreciates the<br />
quiet time and inward focus that yoga classes offer.<br />
Like Gilbertson, Robbie and Ann Johannesen are athletes<br />
who discovered yoga to be indispensable. Six years ago the<br />
couple enrolled in their fi rst yoga class. Robbie wanted to<br />
rehab a triathlon-related hip injury, and Ann held a longtime<br />
curiosity about yoga. They say MAC instructors were helpful<br />
40 • The Winged M • February 2009<br />
during this introductory period, allowing them to safely enjoy<br />
the classes. “The instructors we have are fabulous,” says Ann.<br />
The Johannesens discovered that yoga provided new<br />
challenges and a unique experience with each class. The<br />
unique experience is partly a safety concern, they say. On any<br />
given day, for a variety of reasons, the body may be more or<br />
less responsive. For this reason, yoga emphasizes practicing<br />
in the moment and listening to the body at all times. Yoga is<br />
between you and the mat, they say, and this allows it a certain<br />
freedom and makes for a different experience each day.<br />
“Yoga is a positive addiction,” Robbie says. It is now part<br />
of the couple’s lifestyle. If they take a trip they always pack<br />
their yoga mats and set aside time to practice. However, they<br />
say the classroom setting is hard to replace. The instructor’s<br />
choice of asana sequencing and guidance and the sense of<br />
community are aspects they fi nd important. The remodel of<br />
Studio II has created a more inviting space, Ann says.<br />
Robbie and Ann say they appreciate that yoga is<br />
something they can practice together, and something that<br />
always provides new challenges. “There’s no end to what<br />
direction you can go,” Robbie says.<br />
George Kalomiris agrees that yoga presents an amazing<br />
challenge. He took a MAC class three years ago in hopes of<br />
improving his golf swing, and now he comes two or three<br />
times a week, usually attending Nick Manci’s Power Vinyasa<br />
Yoga Level 3 class. The fi rst level 3 class he attended left<br />
MAC Executive Sous Chef<br />
Jim Cox is an avid cyclist<br />
and yoga instructor. He<br />
leads a MAC yoga class<br />
designed specifi cally for<br />
cyclists Friday, March 6.
Kalomiris a little overwhelmed. “I couldn’t imagine how<br />
anyone was doing that stuff,” he says. But with hard work<br />
he developed his strength and flexibility and found that he<br />
enjoyed the challenge presented by Manci’s class.<br />
The strength and flexibility has helped his golf game,<br />
and now he has a fitness routine that is a lot easier on his<br />
body than the distance running that was once his focus. “It<br />
ended up taking on a life of its own,” Kalomiris says of his<br />
yoga practice. “Now I get the same feeling I could get from<br />
running, and it’s better for me.”<br />
Linda Nelson has taken MAC yoga classes since the<br />
program’s inception in the 1990s when one me<strong>mb</strong>er coach<br />
taught a single evening class. On her 35th birthday, Nelson<br />
was overheard mentioning yoga and was invited to try a class.<br />
She did, and she was on her way. When yoga classes began at<br />
MAC she became a regular. She says she did it for a long time<br />
for the increased flexibility it gave her, but at some point she<br />
realized yoga more than exercise.<br />
“I became aware of how good I felt after yoga class,” she<br />
says. “It transforms my life.”<br />
Through special yoga workshops at MAC Nelson began<br />
training for yoga teaching certification, and today she teaches<br />
classes and has a home studio. Yoga is the central focus of<br />
her fitness routine now, supplemented by vigorous outdoor<br />
walking. “Fresh air aerobic exercise is the only thing missing,”<br />
she says. “Yoga offers everything else I need.” n<br />

An equally important but less-publicized<br />
benefit of participation is the<br />
post-event pizza and beverage party<br />
hosted by the Decathlon Committee.<br />
That was certainly true this year. The<br />
get-together was well attended and<br />
provided an opportunity to swap the<br />

Many me<strong>mb</strong>ers are building on the<br />

Decathlon in May. The associated<br />
Ironman and Ironwoman competition<br />
provides added opportunities for challenging<br />

two-day period.<br />
Decathlon participants complete 10<br />
events from a total of 18 in three fitness<br />
categories during the three-week period.<br />
Competitors must do three events each in<br />
the categories of strength, speed/skill, and<br />
conditioning. The 10th event can be from<br />
any category.<br />
Participants must be at least 14 years<br />

A skill known as “learning to learn”<br />
is a typical way karate students learn: by<br />
receiving instruction and by trial and<br />
error. A more advanced method is for<br />
students to learn from what they’ve been<br />
taught.<br />
Part of the mental and philosophical<br />
benefits of studying martial arts comes<br />
from its repetitive nature. Repetitions are<br />
essential to learning techniques and being<br />
able to do them without thinking in an<br />
emergency situation.<br />
Realizing the true benefit from the<br />
repetition of techniques is the heart of<br />
modern budo, or martial ways. Karate-do,<br />
judo and kendo are forms of budo. Budo<br />
is foremost a spiritual discipline; its ultimate<br />
goals, achieved through rigorous and<br />
systematic physical training, are self-realization<br />
and self-perfection.<br />
Budo stresses values leading to spiritual<br />
development of the individual rather than<br />
the cultivation of warlike virtues, i.e.<br />
karate-do is more than just learning how<br />
to punch stuff real hard. The overriding<br />
goal of budo is to develop what is known<br />
in Zen terms as “mushin” or “no-mind.”<br />
No-mind can be defined as the complete<br />
self-mastery that permits direct and appropriate<br />
action unhindered by calculation or<br />
forethought.<br />
Once a practitioner is on the way to<br />
achieving a state of “no mind,” they can<br />
apply this knowledge to all areas of life.<br />
Mini tournament<br />
All karate students and their families<br />
should plan to attend a mini-tournament<br />
with two other local dojos at MAC Friday,<br />
Feb. 6 at 6:30 p.m. in Studio I. This fun<br />
event is practice for the upcoming tournament<br />
season and is a chance to meet<br />
students from other schools. Families are<br />
encouraged to attend to learn the rules of<br />
tournament scoring and to practice<br />
volunteering at tournaments.<br />
Anyone interested in seeing MAC<br />
karate in action should look for the karate<br />
demonstration at Family Fridays Feb. 20.<br />

Get ready to salute as the 26th<br />
annual MAC Open welcomes for the<br />
first time collegiate men’s gymnastics<br />
teams from the Army, Navy and Air<br />
Force. The MAC Open is Friday, Feb. 13<br />
through Sunday, Feb. 15. The men’s<br />
collegiate event is Saturday night.<br />
The MAC Open showcases level 4<br />
through elite men and women gymnasts<br />
from more than 30 gymnastics teams<br />
that travel from Montana, Idaho,<br />
California, Washington, throughout<br />
Oregon, and even Japan to compete.<br />
MAC gymnasts represent the club across<br />
levels of competition throughout the<br />
three-day meet, which culminates in the<br />
team finals on Sunday.<br />
Gymnastics Department Manager and<br />
USA Gymnastics Region II Chairman<br />
Meg Doxtator describes the event as a<br />
homecoming. This is particularly true<br />
this year as Aaron Ingram, who previously<br />
competed for MAC, returns to<br />
represent the Navy in the men’s collegiate<br />
meet. He reme<strong>mb</strong>ers the MAC<br />
Open as “the greatest meet on Earth.”<br />
This month’s MAC<br />
Open includes gymnasts<br />
representing Army, Navy<br />
and Air Force teams.<br />
The MAC Open features women’s<br />
gymnastics on vault, uneven bars, balance<br />
beam, and floor exercise. Men’s events<br />
include floor exercise, pommel horse,<br />
still rings, vault, parallel bars, and high<br />
bar.<br />
MAC me<strong>mb</strong>er and graduating senior<br />
Kris Yeager, level 10 men’s gymnast, says,<br />
“It is our time to show the community<br />
what we are all about.” Both the men’s<br />
and women’s MAC teams did so at last<br />
year’s event, as each won the highly<br />
coveted first-place team trophies.<br />

The rides have a good mix of flat<br />
roads, rolling hills and some one-half<br />
mile cli<strong>mb</strong>s depending on the date. All<br />

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

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

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

Bandon Dunes golf<br />
Twenty lucky MAC me<strong>mb</strong>ers spent<br />
Thanksgiving weekend enjoying spectacular<br />
weather in spectacular<br />
surroundings at the Bandon Dunes Golf<br />
Resort on the Southwestern Oregon<br />
coast. Saturday’s play was at Pacific<br />
Dunes, the No. 1 rated course that is<br />
open to the public in the country,<br />
followed by No. 5 Bandon Dunes on<br />
Sunday. Both days saw weather in the<br />
middle to upper 60s, no wind, and<br />
plenty of sunshine.<br />
Two teams of 10 each played a modified<br />
Stableford on Saturday, with the<br />
winning team receiving accolades and a<br />
few MAC logo balls for having such a<br />
win-win day. Some players also enjoyed<br />
an after-golf tour of the new Old<br />
MacDonald course currently under<br />
construction. It was the group’s<br />
consensus that this is another first-class<br />
course that may even surpass the others<br />
in ratings when completed.<br />
Dinner on Saturday was preceded by<br />
the annual Civil War football game<br />
between Oregon and Oregon State.<br />
There was plenty of support for both<br />
teams, and a lively group enjoyed<br />
watching the game. A few libations may<br />
have even been wagered during the<br />
contest.<br />

Winter reading<br />
Why not pick up a good book to<br />
read during these short winter days?<br />
Golf in the Kingdom by Michael<br />
Murphy was published in 1972 and<br />
became an instant classic. The book is a<br />
unique confluence of fiction, philosophy,<br />
myth, mysticism, enchantment, and golf<br />
instruction. The central character is<br />
Shivas Irons, a golf professional by vocation<br />
and a shaman by design. The story<br />
culminates in a wild night of whiskey<br />
and wisdom, where Irons demonstrates<br />
how the swing reflects the soul. This is a<br />
must-read for any golfer.<br />
Dream Golf, the Making of Bandon Dunes<br />
by Stephen Goodwin was published in<br />
2006. This book is a must-read for those<br />
who have played there, plan on playing<br />
there, or are just interested in golf.<br />
This is a story of a man with a dream<br />
as well as the vision and passion to make<br />
it come true. The dream was to build a<br />
A t h l e t i c s<br />
Pat Carey was one of<br />
20 me<strong>mb</strong>ers who enjoyed<br />
sunny days in Bandon Dunes<br />
during Thanksgiving weekend.<br />
great American links course, one that<br />
would contain all of the excitement of<br />
the famous golfing destinations in<br />
Scotland and Ireland, storied places such<br />
as St. Andrews and Ballybunion. The<br />
man was Mike Kaiser, an entrepreneur<br />
and amateur golf enthusiast and founder<br />
of the successful company Recycled<br />
Paper Greetings.<br />
Dream Golf is the story of how, with<br />
the help of some of the most colorful –<br />
and occasionally controversial – men in<br />
golf, Kaiser transformed a remote area<br />
on Oregon’s Pacific Coast into not one,<br />
but three of the most stunning, challenging,<br />
and highly ranked courses in<br />
the world.<br />

Co n t i n u e d Fr o m Pa g e 51<br />
a list of resolutions related to improving<br />
their fitness level, learning a new skill, or<br />
perhaps spending quality time with<br />
family and friends. Many may be<br />
surprised to discover that their golf game<br />
can help them accomplish these and<br />
many other health and wellness goals.<br />
Golfers walk an average of five miles<br />
over the course of an 18-hole round.<br />
With most regulation courses measuring<br />
between 6,000 and 7,000 yards, the<br />
benefits of walking and playing the game<br />
on a regular basis are well documented.<br />
In addition, the time spent in this<br />
worthwhile pursuit can be done in the<br />
company of family and friends.<br />
Now that two out of three resolutions<br />
are accomplished by simply<br />
deciding to play more golf in 2009, one<br />
question remains: How can golfers<br />
incorporate new skills that result in<br />
measurable game improvement in the<br />
coming year? Throughout the course of<br />
the season, me<strong>mb</strong>ers can learn a nu<strong>mb</strong>er<br />
of simple strategies that offer immediate<br />
results, from choosing the proper equipment<br />
for a swing, to effectively<br />
managing emotions on the course.<br />
Golf conditioning<br />
This year during the 19th Hole Golf<br />
Banquet, MAC me<strong>mb</strong>er Danita<br />
Chandler, teacher of the Pilates Method,<br />
spoke about a few Pilates-based exercises<br />
to improve the golf game during the<br />
cold winter months in Oregon. Three<br />
basic exercises were covered, and the<br />
new Golf Committee chairman, Jamie<br />
Summer, demonstrated these exercises.<br />
The first exercise is intended to use<br />
the breath to help support the swing.<br />
The second and third exercises use a<br />
waiter’s bow position to increase awareness<br />
to where the spine is and how it is<br />
moving.<br />
1. The breath. Begin by sitting in a<br />
chair. Sit as tall as able, right on the<br />
bottom bones of the pelvis. To breath<br />
optimally, inhale through the nose with<br />
the mouth closed. Every inhale taken is<br />
an opportunity to lift out of compressing<br />
the spine. Think of expanding the ribs to<br />
the sides and back of the body with each<br />
inhale. In turn, the exhale comes out<br />
through the mouth with the lips open<br />
and jaw soft. The exhale contracts the<br />
abdominal wall. In essence, lift on the<br />
inhale and contract on the exhale.<br />
2. The posture. The second exercise is<br />
intended to find the optimal position of<br />
the spine prior to the swing of the club.<br />
While standing, set the feet hip-width<br />
apart and engage the abdominal muscles.<br />
Bend at the hips and lean the knees<br />
forward into a tall diagonal line as if<br />
preparing to swing the club. The spine is<br />
in a neutral position, meaning that the<br />
low back is neither tucked nor flattened<br />
out and the head is tall and reaching out<br />
of the body.<br />
In this position place a golf club<br />
parallel to the spine, hooking the club<br />
over the head. The goal is to get the club<br />
to connect with the head, mid back, and<br />
pelvis. By placing the club along the<br />
spine, one can feel what part of the spine<br />
is connected to the club. There should<br />
be a small curve in the low back and<br />
neck. These two places along the spine<br />
should not be touching the club.<br />
3. The swing. Lastly, take the waiter’s<br />
bow position without the club and bring<br />
the forehead against a wall. The arms are<br />
straight out to the side of the body and<br />
the weight of the body is centered<br />
evenly through the feet. Keeping the<br />
pelvis stable and the eyes on the floor,<br />
rotate the ribcage to the right and then<br />
left.<br />
The arms move with the ribs but<br />
maintain their reach apart from one<br />
another. Try adding the inhale when<br />
rotating to the right and an exhale with<br />
the follow-through swing. Try this exercise<br />
eight times and then reverse the<br />
swing.<br />
Each of these exercises can improve a<br />
golfer’s game. Working them into a dry<br />
land workout increases awareness of<br />
breath, posture and movement. Add<br />
them two to three days a week. The<br />
longer and taller the spine, the more<br />
movement there is in rotating the spine.<br />

Championships in the men’s 30-andolder<br />
division, Williams earned enough<br />
points to move into the top 25 in the<br />
national rankings. This, followed with<br />
the win previously mentioned, added<br />
enough points to rank Williams third<br />
nationally.<br />
In Dece<strong>mb</strong>er, Williams competed in<br />
the USTA men’s<br />

and finished<br />
third; together with<br />
his doubles partner<br />
he finished second<br />

nation. The thirdand<br />

finishes earned<br />
Williams enough<br />

enough points to gain ranked status.<br />
Williams played in three and is now<br />
ranked No. 1, a truly remarkable<br />
achievement. Who says Oregon is too<br />
wet for outdoor tennis?<br />
Williams was raised in Sunriver,<br />
attended Bend High School,<br />
Northwestern University, and played<br />
No. 1 at University of Oregon before<br />
traveling the world playing tennis on<br />
mini-tours. While living in Palm Springs,<br />
Williams regularly hit with Laver,<br />
Woodforde, Courier and Martin. Now,<br />
the father of two children and married<br />
to Katie Becker, a former professional<br />
golfer, the Williams family epitomizes<br />
family first while integrating athletic<br />
excellence.<br />
Williams’ goal, given this success, is to<br />
qualify for the Italia Cup Team, the<br />
men’s 35-and-older team comprised of<br />
four players selected each year based on<br />
their national ranking from competition<br />
in various national tournaments. The<br />
United States Tennis Association makes<br />
the selection. Teams compete at the<br />
