LARRY SMITH'S RETIREMENT HIKE, BRITT PARK, MAY 1999. CAKE MADE BY FOODLAND - THE MULHOLLENS My twin brother, Larry Smith, has been teaching school since 1965...almost 45 years. He is still subbing. Over those years he took photos of his students and their activities. He has now scanned in the negatives, photos and slides from those years. He has organized the 6,460 photos into 27 Picasa albums. He hopes his former students will find these albums after he posts them on http://www.jvwoodlands.org To contact Larry Smith: jvsmith@clearwire.net To contact Lloyd Smith: Lsmithtwin@comcast.net
From Jon Wilson - Mr. Smith - probably one of the greatest teachers a kid ever had the chance to be taught by. Chandler Bettis Whenever I have told people about the fact that as 4th and 5th graders we were taught photography, dark room processing, and how to work with AV equipment (animation etc.), they are amazed. We were deffinately given a rare opportunity. Jon Wilson I remember making a wizard film - I think with Tommy Glather - having the wizard disappear by stopping the camera while Tommy walked out of the shot. Jeff Andrews - Jonathan that link is phenomenal! You guys are so fortunate to have such a detailed photographic accounting of your school. Would that every teacher or school was as thoughtful. I didn't even go to that school and I've been pouring over it for an hour. So awesome! Jonathan Wilson Aimee, Jeff - Larry is phenomenal and the care he has for his students is amazing. I visit JV every couple of years and he always takes time to have coffee with me. I am always encouraged

Sunday, October 13, 1991 - Page updated at 12:00 AM E-mail article Print Computer Firm Turns Town Into A Living Laboratory AP JACKSONVILLE, Ore. - Apple Computer Inc. wanted to stake a bigger claim on the mother lode of customers in small business. So the Silicon Valley company adopted this tiny gold rush town and gave away $300,000 worth of computer gear to create a living laboratory.
In August 1990, Apple searched its geographic data base for names that included Apple or Macintosh, one of its lines of personal computers. Out popped the Applegate Valley, just over the hill from Jacksonville.
"This city didn't have a computer in City Hall until two years ago. We literally were living in the dark ages," said Mayor Mick Toney, who makes leather belts by hand.
Apple searched out people who had been too scared and too busy to invest in computers, as well as people who had already taken the plunge, and introduced them to Macintosh. Apple made it easy, with training and a variety of specialized software. The company kept in touch through regular visits to town, and hired Diagnostic Research Inc. to study the changes wrought by Macintosh. Folks liked their computers, reporting business efficiency up 65 percent and business satisfaction up 68 percent. "I'm jazzed," said Chauncey Romero, who owns the Silver Lining jewelry store with his wife, Ladena. Once intimidated by computers, they have chucked their typewriter and bookkeeper. Chauncey hopes to design jewelry on his computer. Joe Duggan at Redwood Tax Service filled out 1040s with a pencil and hired out his computer work. Now he does it all on his Macintosh and has doubled his business.
To show the computer's versatility, Apple wanted a small town - Jacksonville claims 2,200 residents - without a dominant industry, where a mix of small business was the lifeblood of the economy.
The experiment also brought unexpected changes. Out of user groups and computer bulletin boards came a new sense of community. After Apple held training sessions at Jacksonville Elementary School, Principal Richard Miles was emboldened to ask the business community to help the school's annual music festival. "It got us connected together," said Miles. For Apple, Jacksonville became a laboratory, where hardware engineers, software specialists and marketing managers can test new ideas, said Bobbie Oglesby, programs marketing manager for the company. Apple plans to repeat the experiment in Japan, Sweden and Belgium. "What's so important about this is the closer you can get to the real customer experience - those things that you normally would do in a research program - the more accurate the information you receive,," she said.

What they got was a town founded in 1860 in the Oregon Gold Rush. One hundred years later, it was practically a ghost town, after the ore played out, the railroad passed it by, and the county seat moved to Medford. In the past 10 years, Jacksonville has enjoyed a renaissance by capitalizing on its Old West character, ironically preserved by hard times. With a load of dirt, movie companies cover the blacktop on California Street and turn back the clock among the wooden false fronts and intricate brickwork.
n the past 10 years, Jacksonville has enjoyed a renaissance by capitalizing on its Old West character, ironically preserved by hard times. With a load of dirt, movie companies cover the blacktop on California Street and turn back the clock among the wooden false fronts and intricate brickwork. The popular Britt Music Festivals have helped build a thriving tourism economy that spins off the nearby Oregon Shakespeare Festival in Ashland. In this environment, Apple chose 31 different businesses. The company also gave computers to the elementary school, the library, City Hall, the Chamber of Commerce, and the police and fire departments. For about half the people, it was their first close encounter with a computer.

"Last year I had to write this guy's name and Social Security number 25 times," he said of one client. "This time I had to input it once."
The computers helped create new ventures. Mariette Marmillod launched a reservations service and a newspaper from her Meadow Lark bed and breakfast. The experiment also brought unexpected changes. Out of user groups and computer bulletin boards came a new sense of community.
