Projo/Belo Lobbies for Tax Credits, Fails to Disclose $13M Deal
Friday, December 13, 2013
Now, The Providence Journal's $13 million project is poised to receive up to 25% of the project cost in historic tax credits - supported by the taxpayers of Rhode Island. The application is one of the finalists and top state officials say the next steps are mostly ministerial.
"The Providence Journal should have said -- repeatedly -- that it was in line to profit from the re-institution of this tax credit. Failing to do so is a tremendous breech of the public's trust," said Professor Michael Scully of Roger Williams University.
The historic tax credit program had been cancelled years earlier due to abuse and its adverse impact to the state's budget. The Providence Journal editorials called for action and passage of the historic tax credit legislation to help revive the economy.
Editorials Urge Passage, Fail to Disclose
In one editorial entitled, "Revive the Historic Tax Credits," the Providence Journal Editors wrote, "We think she's (Sen. Paiva Weed) right. If Rhode Island seeks a relatively cheap, easy, swift and proven way to boost its economy, the program should be renewed in some form."
Beyond the editorials there were a dozen articles written by reporters Katherine Gregg, Randy Edgars and Paul Grimaldi - all citing the positive impact of the tax credit program. None of the news articles or the editorials disclosed that Dallas-based A.H. Belo/Providence Journal would seek millions from taxpayers.
"Without knowing the specifics of the Providence Journal situation, I can't comment on the particulars. But in general, a news organization should be careful to disclose whenever it has an interest in any issue that it is reporting or commenting on. That's a matter of basic journalistic ethics," said Dan Kennedy, Assistant Professor of Journalism, Northeastern University.
As Ian Donnis of WRNI was first to report, Belo/Providence Journal are poised to sell their building on Fountain Street and then lease back a portion of the building. The Providence Journal/Belo's motivation for the sale of the building is more clear with the unveiling in this article of the millions in state backed tax credits that could flow to the new owner.
Moreover, A.H. Belo has been prepping the Providence Journal for sale for the past year. In the past 12 months, the Dallas-company has realized staff reductions of greater than 50 news positions through two rounds of layoffs and buyouts.
The Dallas media company announced in early December that the Providence Journal is for sale.
Efforts by GoLocal to reach publisher Howard Sutton have been unsuccessful. In addition, questions poised to Ed Achorn, editor of the editorial page were not answered.

Rhode Island's Changing Media Landscape
Radio, print, television and digital- the faces in Rhode Islands's media has changed drastically over the past months... Let's take a look at some of the biggest moves:
Phil Marcelo
After a seven year stint reporting for the Providence Journal's state house bureau, Phil Marcelo left the paper to take a reporting gig with the Boston office of the Associated Press.
Hailing from Long Island, New York, Marcelo came to ProJo in 2006, and covered everything from regional news, to Providence City Hall and the Statehouse. Marcelo's departure was first reported by WRNI's Ian Donnis.
Julie Tremmel
Formerly a nightly news reporter for WJAR, Tremmel was fired from the "Team You Trust" after two clips, one of her performing on-air handstands, and the other offering tips on what to do during a bear attack, went viral.
The video became an internet sensation, but long-time Channel 10 newsman Jim Taricani called Tremmel's antics "a smudge on our station's reputation."
Jim Taricani
A long-time staple of Channel 10's news team, Taricani announced plans to retire after over three decades with the station.
Taricani has won 5 regional Emmy awards, an Edward R. Murrow award for investigative journalism and a Prestigious Yankee Quill Award from the New England Newspaper Association.
He was convicted to six months in prison in 2004 for refusing to reveal a source, and is the youngest person ever to be inducted into the Rhode Island Hall of Fame.

According to the Economic Progress Institute at RI College, tax credits have reduced state revenue by 197 million over a six year period. And this is only a small part of how corporations write the tax laws to lower their effective rate.
I can only imagine what our 9.2% "official" unemployment rate would be if we didn't grant these giveaways to profitable companies. The GA only knows how to tax us and give it to them. And the candidates, god bless them, talk about the need for more public/private "partnerships" - which means the risks are socialized and the returns are privatized.
What a deal! The Journal goes easy on Fox and Paiva-Weed and they shamelessly get a cut of the action. And as they get on the dole, and feed at the trough, they continually downsize their workforce. And when they figure out how best to spin it, they will say they didn't do anything untoward and that they simply played by the rules.
And all this is done as they lecture us about how hard they have worked to get to where they are
Jim D
The State removed the tax credit for homeowners who are forced to spend a lot of extra money for their home maintenance because they are in an HDC zone. But for businesses the credit has been re enabled.

Go Glam in 20111 of 19
Be your most glamorous self this year in tried-and-tested looks from the runway and red carpet. From chic updos to lovely lace fashions, there's an alluring trend for anyone to try. And even if you're the type that practices the art of subtlety, these styles can be turned down a notch and still make a stunning statement.
Wine Stain2 of 19
By Zoe Schaeffer
It's time to get deep with glossy, burgundy lips, like those shown at the Louis Vuitton or Yves Saint Laurent shows. And while a strong bronze eye and perfectly styled hair make for a fabulous runway look, we suggest keeping the rest of the face minimal for more effortless "everyday" style.
Lace Case3 of 19
Lace dolled up the spring runways, but mostly in creams and crisp whites. That's why we love Michelle Williams's take on the trend in this retro Erdem style. Her newly bleached blond hair also adds an edge to this elegant look.
Tied Up4 of 19
We're loving spring's laced-up looks, and Gwyneth Paltrow wears the trend well. At first glance, her Emilio Pucci gown looks minimally chic, but on a second look, it's slightly scandalous. For those of us who aren't ready to bare as much as the blond beauty, try out the trend with loosely tied ribbons on a blouse.
Loosey Goosey5 of 19
Soft, tousled tresses are both romantic and sultry. Here, Eva Mendes wears her loose waves casually swept to the side, a perfect match with her ladylike Lela Rose dress.
Bed Head6 of 19
We haven't seen pajama dressing in a while and this season makes it look elegant and effortless. To avoid looking as if you literally rolled out of bed, try teaming a pair of fluid wide-leg pants with a luxe knit top.
Twisted Sister7 of 19
The new rolled updos have a '50s flair that is as chic as it is pretty. And this is a look that's easy to do: Simply gather hair on each side, twist inward, and secure the pieces together with bobby pins. Who doesn't like DIY retro glam?
Gold Bar8 of 19
We'll take gold in all shapes and sizes as it adds an instant uptown appeal to any look. Here Uma Thurman (who is a goddess even in sweatpants!) dons a gilded jacket with a Peter Pan collar for a look we love.
White Out9 of 19
Whether in the form of a biker jacket, a billowy dress or power suiting, white is still the freshest way to get glam without having to overthink anything. Keep accessories and makeup minimal to prevent overpowering this style.
Luxe Lashes10 of 19
Feathery fringes never go out of style. But if fake lashes seem too tricky, try shimmying the mascara wand upwards from your lash roots. And don't forget to curl first!
Color Coded11 of 19
In spring's knockout neons and striking color block fashions, Kate Bosworth looks her best in this graphic orange and coral dress. If an all-over bright burst of color is too much for you, you can still try the trend in a candy-colored shoe or bag.
Studio Chic12 of 19
We think Marc Jacobs's satiny '70s dresses have a distinct vintage vibe that suggests total sophistication. And while clingy fabrics can be a bit unforgiving at times, jewel tones like emerald and sapphire will flatter most figures.
Sequin Matter13 of 19
There's something refreshing about sequins in a slouchy, hip dress rather than a slinky, to-the-floor gown. We love how Sofia Coppola, a true style leader, wears this red-carpet number so effortlessly.
Nouveau Japanese14 of 19
Vibrant, Japanese-inspired pieces like obi belts, kimono coats and satiny separates are a great way to layer on elegance. In order not to overload on festive shades, pick one tone to avoid looking costumey.
A-Team15 of 19
A '50s-inspired full skirt is both chic and timeless. Style-setter Alexa Chung wears the ladylike look with ease. We suggest teaming an A-line silhouette with a kitten heel which is both elegant and easy.
Flapper Girl16 of 19
For a full-blown glamour-puss look, try slicking your strands into sophisticated flapper waves (as seen at Prada). Too much 1920s for you to take? A slicked-back, low, finger-raked bun will be a simpler substitute and one that's daytime-appropriate as well.
Big Bang Theory17 of 19
An armful of wooden or plastic bangles is an easy way to stock up on glamour, and it's inexpensive too. Pile some jewels on for both day or night in various shapes and sizes for an instant style upgrade.
Metallic Taste18 of 19
Shimmery lids lit up the catwalk for a look that we'll always stand behind. Here, Keira Knightley plays up her Chanel Haute Couture dress with dabs of silver shadow and loads of mascara. When it comes to the eyes, let them shine and keep the rest of your makeup simple.
Smart Clips19 of 19
Whether they're sleek and modern, decidedly vintage or meant to mimic hair, decorative barrettes are a simple way to make a chic statement. Our favorites look as if they're straight out of Grandma's jewelry box and will no doubt elevate any hairstyle into an instant old-Hollywood moment.

Committee Meeting Materials
In late 2007, SAISD formed a community-based committee to study the problems associated with decreasing enrollment and aging and under-enrolled schools, and to help us find a solution. Their goal was to create a strategic plan to guide SAISD through the next 10-15 years, while also allowing flexibility for unforeseen changes such as population and demographics. The planning process went through four phases:
• Phase One – Findings & Directions phase
• Phase Two – Gap Analysis phase
• Phase Three – Planning phase
• Phase Four – Action timeline, prioritization phase
Below are the minutes and meeting materials from the four phases of planning.

Heat moulded quarter combine with the pump make for a skate
with zero break-in time. Stiff boot makes for easy sharp turns.
FWIW, I am an intermediate men's league player.

Comments: Upgraded from bauer one.4, the fitting was really nice since i had a wider foot. Still got a D
width though. Lace lock works great for me as i like my top 3 eyelets to be really lose. Pump
works well to elimiate any SMALL gaps between your ankle and the boot. And a significant
improve in power transfer. Goes way faster then how i use to go. Overall a great skate with
excellent value!

70 Odisha kids hospitalised after consuming iron tablets
Puri (Odisha), Sept.25 : At least 70 school students have been hospitalised after consuming spurious iron tablets provided to a school by local health authorities in Odisha's Puri District.
Students of the Gopinathpur UGME School complained of wooziness and started vomiting after consuming the iron tablets on Tuesday.
They were taken to the nearest health centre at Rebena Nuagaon and later rushed to the Puri District Hospital.
Local lawmaker Sanjaya Das Verma has demanded an immediate probe in the case.
"The situation has stabilised and I have already discussed it with the district administration, the collector of the district, and I have requested that all medicines and facilities be given," said Verma.
Distributing iron tablets in schools of rural areas is part of a national health programme, carried out under the instructions of doctors to combat anemia in school children, so that they remain mentally and physically fit.
The district administration supplied the iron pills to all schools as part of a drive. Some preventive measures needs to be taken while administering these tablets.
These pills should be administered to children only after the meals, and not be given to ailing children.
Puri collector Naba Kishore Nayak, the additional collector and the chief district medical officer are supervising the reatment of the ill students
Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik has directed the district collector to probe the matter.

The Venerable Ahmad Jamal
It's hard to sum up an artist like Ahmad Jamal. He's an American original. A classic artist. His playing has influenced countless other pianists since his early days back in his hometown of Pittsburgh, where he, in turn, was a musical sponge, soaking up the sounds of the city's rich musical heritage, then finding his own way.
He started playing the piano at age 3, so he's been at it 68 years. (OK. Here's the math: He turned 71 last July 2). And he's been thriving in a world where musicians in general, and jazz musicians in particular, are not always greeted with open arms. But through the power if his art ' and it's clear, talking to him, through the power of his own will, fortitude and vision ' Jamal has excelled. He's had best-selling records and is consistently in-demand for performances. ("I'm turning down work," he said). And yes, there are the stories of how he influenced even the perennially influential Miles Davis with his light touch, sweet sound and use of space.
Like most artists, a lot of the makeup of Ahmad Jamal can be found in his music. The ear for melody, the rhythmic sense, the light and facile touch. His music rolls out like a limousine and reaches a beautiful cruise control. Everything in it is functional, and seemingly simple, no matter what complexities have gone into its framework. But that's not all of Mr. Jamal.
He is outspoken. From his position in the business and his stature in history, he can see things about the recording business and the music industry, about the people who made jazz for this century and about life. He has no hesitancy expressing them. As a matter of fact, ask him about his piano style and he doesn't dwell on it. He says it's an amalgam of being exposed to many kinds of music and living in a city full of great musical creativity. Ask him about life? He'll tell you in more detail. He'd make a good teacher.
"I would like to be a scholar in whatever I do," he said in an interview not long before Christmas. "A scholar is never finished. He's always seeking. I'm seeking."
And what he finds he doesn't mind sharing with others willing to lend an ear. "Be joyous in your work," he advises. "Whether you're doing a typewriter, or the 88s, or playing trumpet, or you're a physician or a lawyer, or whatever. Enjoying your work is very important." At another point, his sagacity touches on dealing with people. "You've got a big, big problem if you get caught up in what people say. If you're gonna live for what people say, you might as well lay down and forget it. Because it doesn't work that way' The quickest way to become troubled is to be concerned with what people are gonna say about your life and your work."
His words, carefully chosen yet not premeditated, come from a keen mind and eyes that have been open as he progressed across the music scene, city to city, club to club and business relationship to business relationship. After his formal piano training as a youngster, he joined the George Hudson Band at the age of 17, and began touring nationally. His Three Strings band a short time later, with Ray Crawford on guitar and Israel Crosby on bass, was the precursor to his famed piano trio (traditional bass and drums rhythm section) for which he is probably best known. While performing in New York, renowned producer John Hammond saw the Three Strings and signed the group to Okeh Records. It wasn't long before Vernell Fournier took the drum spot and the guitar was cut out. Drums, he said, were better suited to noisy nightclubs. It was his sound in the trio format that endeared him to Miles, and the trumpeter began using not only songs that Ahmad had been performing ' like "Surrey With the Fringe on Top" or "But Not For Me"but Jamal originals like "New Rhumba" and "Ahmad's Blues."
Scores of recordings later ' including Olympia 2000 released in October 2001, which features saxophonist George Coleman ' Jamal shows he still has the staying power, the enthusiasm and the thirst for more.
So how would one introduce him? I suggest, simply, the Venerable Ahmad Jamal.
All About Jazz (AAJ): You had a CD release recently, Olympia 2000. You're still in the trio format, but you've been using George Coleman of late.
Ahmad Jamal: We've been working some spots together. But sometimes I expand. I had seven pieces at La Salle Pleyel in Paris. So I'm not just doing the small ensemble anymore. I don't even call it trio, I call it a small ensemble. Because the word trio is limiting as far as I'm concerned. So I have a small ensemble and sometimes I have a larger one. In the case of this project I used a quartet. I also have a seven-piece thing that we haven't released in the States yet. It was done at La Salle Pleyel with [guitarist] Calvin Keys and Joseph Kennedy Jr. on violin and George Coleman [tenor sax]. A bunch of guys, including me.
AAJ: How is the recording industry today? Is it still something you like doing? Is it too businesslike today?
Jamal: It's not the Norman Grantz era that's for sure. There are no more great recording executives and if you don't have great recording executives you don't have a great recording world. The record world is terrible. You don't have any people who know the business. You have people who are marketing Madonna and Shadonna. They fail to realize this great recording industry was built by so-called jazz artists. And at the other end of the spectrum, a base in European classical music as well. So recording companies were built by European classicists and American classicists. I refer to jazz music as American classic music which is a term which I coined. And now people are beginning to use it without any credit to me. But I don't care. The fact is that they're using it and that's what counts.
The record industry was started by American classicists. People like Duke Ellington, Art Tatum and Louie Armstrong. And on the other end they had a roster of people doing the European body of work. It would never have gotten off the ground. Capitol Records, for example, was built by a jazz pianist, Nat Cole. He built Capital Records. He had records with Lester Young too. He wasn't only a singer, he was also great pianist. It's a shame that we don't have the Ahmet Erteguns anymore.
Leonard Chess, he started his record label with Bo Diddley and Muddy Waters and Chuck Berry and myself. I built the jazz division of Chess Records. You don't have those kinds of executives anymore. Ralph Kaffel [label president] who started Fantasy Records, he had one artist. His name was Dave Brubeck. They got big, so big that they started doing films, Amadeus and One Flew Over Cuckoo's Nest. All these record companies had their base in American classicists and European classicists. They didn't base their stuff on the stuff that's out there now, that they're marketing right now.
They won't tell you that, but the fact is that people that are running the record business don't know one thing about it. And that's why it's not in such good shape.
AAJ: Are you keeping busy, in light of the recession and dwindling club scene?
Jamal: By the grace of god, I'm turning down work. I presently don't see any problems. In times of depression or bad economy, that's the way it usually is. That's when the movie industry took off, during the Depression, because people were going to shows to get away their problems. That's what launched the movie industry. Sometimes a recession or change in the economy does not effect our business. I have not felt the pinch. I'm turning down work
AAJ: You've been a commercial success. What does that mean for a jazz musician? They're producing so-called music now that isn't even done by musicians, it seems to me.
Jamal: It's not music. It has nothing to do with music. It's something else. That's the way thinking is today. Right is wrong and wrong is right. That's the way it is in some musical forms. Right is wrong and wrong is right. But this business has always managed to survive. The American classics have always managed to survive in spite of it all. Because it's a pure art form. It's the only art form to develop in the United States. It's still not programmed properly. You got to take your cassettes and your CDs with you in your car, otherwise you wont get anything most of the time. If you're traveling by car, you've got a problem if you don't take your cassettes and your CD player, because that's what we do. We program everything but the right thing. So music can sooth the savage beast, but it can also raise the savage beast and unfortunately that's what they're doing, raising the savage beast.
But fortunately, American classical music has always survived. You'll be hearing Duke Ellington for a long time. Long after this other stuff has died down.
AAJ: You've been a big influence on a bunch of pianists, and beyond pianists, over the years. Is that something that's important to you or at least cool with you?
Jamal: No. I'm too busy trying to influence myself. I'm too busy trying to do things I haven't done or go to the next step, god willing. I don't have time to reflect on who I've influenced or who I haven't influenced.
AAJ: You started at the age of 3?
Jamal: Yeah, I took a long time to decide.
AAJ: What was the scene like in Pittsburgh? You hear more about some of the other cities like New York or Chicago.
Jamal: Pittsburgh is one of the most important cities in the world for music and musicians. There are very few cities that have produced music like Pittsburgh. Very few. Billy Strayhorn is from Pittsburgh. He wrote "Lush Life" when he was 16 years old, that's the kind of talent we had coming out of Pittsburgh. Everyone from Pittsburgh has been influential to the music world. From Art Blakey to Kenny Clarke to Roy Eldridge, to Mary Lou Williams, myself, Errol Garner, he also started playing at 3. Dodo Mamarosa, whom the world has forgotten. George Benson, Stanley Turrentine. All of those are from Pittsburgh. On the other end of the spectrum you have Oscar Levant, Earl Wild. When Andre Previn had the choice to conduct the London or the Pittsburgh symphony, he chose Pittsburgh. We have a very powerful statement musically from that town. Very powerful. It still remains so.
AAJ: Were you from a musical family?
Jamal: No, my family was certainly musically inclined, but they didn't opt to become career musicians. I'm the only one who opted for a career in music.
AAJ: When did you start to feel that's where you wanted to go?
Jamal: Music chose me. I didn't choose it. At 3 years old, when you start playing at 3, you really haven't made any choice. It has chosen you. Like Tiger Woods and the golf clubs. When you start that young, I think the career has chosen you.
AAJ: You took formal training pretty young?
Jamal: I took formal training at 7 with some masters in Pittsburgh. Mary Caldwell Dawson and James Miller. I studied with them. I went out with a band that made me leave my happy home. I started touring with George Hudson when I was 17 years old. That's quite young to leave town.
AAJ: The Three Strings band, was that a little different to not have a drummer at that time?
Jamal: Well, Nat Cole didn't have drummers either. He eventually ended up hiring Lee Young Sr., who was Lester Young's brother. That's the only drummer Nat ever had. Lee Young is still living. He plays golf every day and I just recently saw him. He's a wonderful man and was a wonderful drummer and comes from a wonderful family, the Young family. At that time, some of the groups did not have drums, including mine, but I added them later on because it was too subtle. For some of the venues you got to have drums.
AAJ: The club scene then was thriving. What was that whole scene like, with all those great players, the jam sessions and what not?
Jamal: It's certainly different than what it is today. That's when you built the Charlie Parkers and the Dizzy Gillespies and the Bud Powells. Stuff Smiths. That era produced the Fats Navarros and the Clifford Browns and the Max Roaches and Ahmad Jamal and Errol Garner. That was the Golden Age, because that sort of atmosphere does not exist today. The all night jam sessions in my hometown, those things have gone. That era built a lot of great characters and a lot of great musicians.
AAJ: That seems to be part of what's lacking today. There are a lot of schooled musicians, but I don't know if they have stories to tell or they miss the camaraderie .
Jamal: You took the words right out of my mouth. It's a cold, cold world out there without camaraderie. When you don't have the things passed down to you from Johnny Hodges and Duke and Ben Webster and Roy and all those wonderful people, Coleman Hawkins. My ex-bassist Israel Crosby used to tell me wonderful stories. When that's missing, a lot is gone. Camaraderie is gone.
You've got high technique and you've got technology. You've got a lot of cell phones and computers and this and that, but you've got a confused world, don't you?
Camaraderie is missing all over the earth, not only here, but everywhere. You've got to have camaraderie to go with the technology, and that's what's missing. You're not going to find a Sarah Vaughan very easily anymore. Or Ella Fitzgerald. Or Mabel Mercer. Or Billie Holiday. You're not going to find them too easily anymore. Or Art Tatum or Phineas Newborn. That's another pianist that's forgotten, but not by me. I haven't forgotten him. I met him when I was 18 years old in Memphis. Marvelous player. Very influential. He's as influential as they come. There's only one Phineas Newborn. He was one of a kind. So was Art Tatum.
AAJ: Was the trio something that appealed to you?
Jamal: Sure. Still appeals to me. I love it. It's a lot of fun. I get joy out of it every night. That's important in your work, because if you get joy out of your work, then the people get joy. I get joy out of my work every night. It takes a long time to reach that level, though. Some of us take longer to reach that level, and some of us do it earlier. But whatever, it's a wonderful thing. Be joyous in your work. Whether you're doing a typewriter, or the 88s, or playing trumpet, or you're a physician or a lawyer, or whatever. Enjoying your work is very important.
AAJ: Each great musician has their own style and they don't talk much about it, but the use of space and things like that in your playing, how did that develop? Were there influences that you heard from other people that you took bits and pieces from?
Jamal: My style comes from my hometown. Everyone from Pittsburgh is different. That's the situation in Pittsburgh. George Benson? He was different. Roy Eldridge? he was different. Billy Eckstine was different. Very few singers play trumpet and slide trombone and he ended up playing guitar his last years. Ray Brown is from Pittsburgh. How many people play like Ray Brown? Very few, if any. Or they're copying Ray. Errol Garner. One of a kind. A complete orchestra within himself. Billy Strayhorn. Who writes like Billy Strayhorn? Who's writing "Lush Life" or "Take the A Train" these days. He stayed with Duke all of his life, cause Duke recognized his talents. And it goes on and on and on.
My whole approach to music comes from my town. Everybody from Pittsburgh is different. We're from the same town but we're different. I'm different from Errol. Billy Strayhorn was different. Dodo Mamarosa was different. Stanley Turrentine? No one played like Stanley. Stanley was different. So all that comes from my hometown.
AAJ: The spatial elements in your music. You were an influence on Miles. Is that satisfying?
Jamal: Well, it was a mutual admiration society. I was a fan of Miles. He was a fan of mine. I lived a block and a half from him [in New York City] for a number of years. We never spent a lot of quantity time, we had quality time. The few times I was at Miles' house was just very briefly, but we had a wonderful, respectful relationship.
AAJ: When they went to put "New Rhumba" on Miles Ahead, was that shortly after you wrote it?
Jamal: I wrote "New Rhumba" in 1948 or 1949. I wrote "Ahmad's Blues," that era. "Ahmad's Blues" is one of my better copyrights, as well. It was in Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf on Broadway. It was Miles Davis' recording with Red Garland. Red Garland playing "Ahmad's Blues" on a Miles Davis recording [Workin' with the Miles Davis Quintet, Prestige Records]. "New Rhumba" I wrote about that same time.
AAJ: Did that have a lot of impact on your sales when people like Miles and Gil Evans would take your songs? Those albums were big sellers. Did it present you, in a way, to a bigger public?
Jamal: Every little bit helps. Clint Eastwood used two of my records in the Bridges of Madison County. But he also used John Coltrane. He used some Dinah Washington things. Every little bit helps, but I think I established myself. In '58 we made that historic recording [At the Pershing, Chess Records] which has become one of the recordings of the past century.
We as instrumentalists, we don't get hits. Only a few of us get hit records. The singers get the hits. Only a few of us are able to do that. It's a miracle when an instrumentalist gets a hit record. And how many? Herbie Hancock, Chuck Mangione, Dave Brubeck, myself, Miles Davis. Then you have to start thinking.
AAJ: What is the appeal, with your trio in particular, that strikes a chord with people?
Jamal: You have to remember, I grew up in that era ' in three or four eras of music, like Miles did. That was the appeal of Miles. I was a kid listening to the Count Basie orchestra at the Savoy Ballroom. I was only 6 or 7 listening to Duke Ellington. I was a teenager when "Salt Peanuts" came out with Dizzy and Charlie Parker. I lived through the Big Band era and the electronic era and also I draw from a great body of work, because my aunt sent me stacks and stacks of sheet music. Everything depends upon a musician's repertoire, how vast is his repertoire. Whether he's playing the Russian repertoire or the American classic repertoire.
The more you acquire, the more you think in-depth musically. So that's what I attribute it to. My early beginnings and my years of taking in music. When you take in music over five decades, that's a lot of time. That's a contributing factor, whether it's Miles Davis, or Oscar Peterson or myself or McCoy, whoever. It has to do with the amount of work you're drawing from, including your own.
I'm doing 90 percent of my own compositions now and 10 percent of the compositions of others, as opposed to doing 10 percent of mine and 90 percent of others when I first began. So I'm writing more and still growing. It's very, very important, to keep growing.
AAJ: You've also gotten critical acclaim, as well as popular sales. Is that important to you?
Jamal: One thing I pray for: not to be concerned with what people say about my work. Because I know what my work is. I'm the best critic of my work. I'm not overly concerned with the good, bad and indifferent. If you get caught up in people, you've got a problem. You've got a big, big problem if you get caught up in what people say. If you're gonna live for what people say, you might as well lay down and forget it. Because it doesn't work that way. You have to be involved in yourself. The quickest way to become troubled is to be concerned with what people are gonna say about your life and your work.
If you strike a great chord, and people are communicating with you, and you can get along, then that's wonderful.
I'm concerned, first of all, with accurate analysis. And many times analysis is not accurate when you are critiqued by someone not in the business. I can't critique an appendectomy. A doctor can, but I can't. I can critique thoracic surgery. I want to be around people who are genuinely sincere in their approach to reporting. I don't want propaganda reporting, or parody. You gonna imitate what Leonard Feather said or Ralph Gleason said or Nat Hentoff? Be yourself. One has to be careful about this critiquing and the values placed on things.
AAJ: What about longevity? You've been at this so long and consistent and popular and praised. Is that satisfying to you?
Jamal: I'm just beginning. Every day is a new beginning. I'm just beginning to write. I'm just beginning to do a lot of things.
AAJ: You're still working on your playing, trying to get it where you want to go?
Jamal: I love the role of a scholar. I would like to be a scholar in whatever I do. A scholar is never finished. He's always seeking. I'm seeking.
AAJ: How do you like the newest CD that's out?
Jamal: It's full of energy. I love things that are full of energy. There's a lot of energy and a lot of good things going on. George (Coleman) is playing superbly. I think the world is going to know a little bit more ' they know about George Coleman, but I think the world is going to know a little bit more about George as a result of the release of this CD. He plays superbly. That was the result of a five-week tour. We did Grenada, Spain. And most of them were sold out. There wasn't a seat left at Salle Pleyel.
AAJ: The Sal Playel music will be released maybe next year?
Jamal: Yeah. That's probably going to be released in a compilation, because I didn't release it in the United States. It's also wonderful, wonderful piece of music. I like it. A lot of good solos on it. It's a nice piece of music.
AAJ: What else is on the horizon?
Jamal: Playing a week with a gentleman of the bass, Keter Betts, sharing the bill after 20 or 22 years at Blues Alley in Washington, DC. Dec. 26 to January 31. I'll be going down there to do my annual gig. Then I'm going to Symphony Hall in Chicago. Then a European tour again. Many, many interesting things. Working on the next record, perhaps. Having a lot of fun and enjoying life.
AAJ: Of all the years you've had in the business and all the things you've been through, what would you tell some of the younger ones out there? Any words of advice?
Jamal: The best advice I can give anyone is prepare yourself with options. Well how do we do that, Mr. Jamal? You go and get knowledge. And you learn all the things that you can, so if one area breaks down, you don't get frustrated. In other words, if a fire breaks out, you don't get trampled to death because you only have one exit door. Well how do you do that, Mr. Jamal? You go to school. Prepare yourself for options. If you want to be a performer, see how that breaks down and you learn how to conduct. So you conduct for a while. If you can't find a role in conducting and you've prepared yourself to teach, you can teach for a while. And if you can't find a job in teaching or orchestration, you can write for a while. If you have these options, you can be places because you want to be, not because you have to be. That's the best advice I can give to any young person. Prepare yourself so you have options. So you're not locked in and can't get out.
AAJ: How would they find soul in their playing, and in life? Is there a secret to that?
Jamal: Live according to the best rules. That's how you find soul. Otherwise you're not going to find soul. You have to live according to the rules. You've gotta observe some of the rules, if not all. The more rules you observe in this life, the more soul you're gonna get.
AAJ: And will that come out in the playing?
Jamal: Absolutely. If you don't observe rules, you're not going to come out at all because you're gonna perish somewhere along the way. If we can keep all our wonderful talent here longer, it's better for us and better for the world. A lot of our great, great talents have been destroyed because of the influence of this world. Charlie Parker, Billie Holiday, Tad Dameron, Fats Navarro, Chet Baker. Because you've gotta observe some of the rules. If you don't follow some of the rules, sometimes you don't even survive. That's the name of the game: develop your spirit and develop all the things that are warranted and are demanded as a result of living.

ADDRESS BY M1BASSADOR M.IKE l·1ANSFIELD
NIKKEIREN SPO.t-JSORED 13TH SEMINAR FOR TOP MANAGEMENT
President Otsuki, distinguished leaders of the business
community of Japan, it is always a pleasure for me to come to
the region around Fuji-san. Hy home-state in the U.S.,
t-:ontana, is known as "Big Sky" country because of the vast
expanses, the distant horizon and the great cloud-filled
skies. Japan, with all its mountains, valleys and bustling big
cities, is quite different, but here in the gentle sloping
countryside between this world famous mountain and Suruga Bay,
one can get a feeling for the "big sky" in Japan too. It is
also a pleasure to be with you today as you examine the
changing international situation and seek to identify the
measures which Japan and the U.S. should take in response to
it. I would certainly not Hish to prescribe programs or steps
which other countries should take to advance their own
interests, least of all Japan, where freedom of discussion and
a democratic, political, economic and social structure allow
for self-determination after free debate. Given the effects
that policies taken by either of our countries have on the
other, however, a few words about the foreign policy objectives
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 32, Box 2, Folder 18, Mansfield Library, University of Montana
- 2 -
of the Reagan administration and how they relate to Japan may
contribute to your discussions during these next few days and
Six months have now passed since President Eonald Reagan
took office. During this period, the broad outlines of the
foreign policy of his administration have become clear.
Secretary of State Haig recently described the four basic
elements of this policy as follows:
1 -- A new approach to East-Hest relations whereby \-Je Hill
insist on reciprocity and restraint on the part of the
2 A strengthening of our own defenses.
3 A commitment to rejuvenate our alliances ana
revitalize our relations Hi th those with wl10m we share
4 -- The establishment of a just and r~sponsible
relationship with the developing world.
But as we know "4" is an unlucky number in Japan. Thus, I
would like to add a fifth goal that is essentially domestic but
which will have an exceedingly important impact on the success
of our foreign policy -- the reconstruction of the American
economy. The Reagan administration has set as its number one
priority the restoration of non-inflationa ry growth and is
succeediny. A strong U.S. economy is an essential basis for
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 32, Box 2, Folder 18, Mansfield Library, University of Montana
- 3 -
exercising the kind of leadership in world affairs that our
friends and allies, Japan included, expect. A strong U.S.
economy is the dynamo that has generated the outstanding
American social, cultural and scientific developments so well
known around the world. A strong U.S. economy has provided
American citizens with a standard of living that has been
equaled by few other countries. Indeed, without a strong U.s.
domestic economy, we limit the means for worhing together with
our friends tm1ard greater prosperity throughout East Aoia and
the Pacific and toward maintenance of political freedom and
military stability. During the past several months, a
veritable revolution -- some call it the "Reagan P.evolution"
in the funding and administration of U.S. Government programs
has taken place, all aimed at putting our own economic house in
order. In my view these steps are long overdue, and I welcome
them. Federal spending is being cut, government reyulation
trimmed, taxes -- including those that apply to business -reduced,
and the responsibility for a number of social programs
returned to the states. These measures will reaccelerate the
economy by reducing inflation leading to increased investment
and job creation. As inflation declines, so will interest
rates decline in time.
\fuere, then, does Japan fit into the broad framework of
U.S. foreign policy? As I have said on many previous
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 32, Box 2, Folder 18, Mansfield Library, University of Montana
- 4 -
occasions, there is no more important bilateral relationship in
the VIOrld than that between the United States and Japan. The
cornerstone of our policy in Asia and the Pacific is our
relationship with Japan. Our trade ties have contributed to
prosperity not only in Japan and the United States, but in
other countries around the Pacific rim. Tl1e defense
relationship has contributed greatly to the strategic balance.
And on the cultural and educational level, Japan and the united
States regularly welcome scholars, artists, scientists, and
technicians from each other in a lively exchange of people and
ideas that is a valuable learning experience for both nations.
Our relationship, which is based on common values and interests
in the Vlorld, has been nurtured with understanding, good faith
and mutual trust and confidence on both sides. Over the years,
this relationship has matured into a productive partnership to
deal with the serious challenges which we face in common. This
is what we mean when we in the United Sta~es refer to Japan as
an ally. And Japan has demonstrated by its actions that it
understands not only the meaning of the word "ally" but also
the responsibilities associated with such a relationship.
Our two nations are now firmly linked as equal partners.
For example, we Americans have been particularly appreciative
of the support we received in our efforts to have the hostages
in Tehran freed, recognizing that of all our friends and allies
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 32, Box 2, Folder 18, Mansfield Library, University of Montana
- 5 -
Japan paid the greatest price for her support when the Iranians
unilaterally cut off what had been 13 percent of Japan's
petroleu~ imports. The role of Japan in invoking economic
sanctions upon the Soviet Union following that country's
invasion of Afghanistan provided another clear example of
Japan's willingness to play an active and constructive role in
the search for peace and stability in concert with the U.S. and
other nations.
Tite strength of our relationship was recently demonstrated
by the visit of Prime Minister Suzuki to Washington. In my
view, that visit marked the most successful meeting ever held
between a Japanese Prime Hinister and an American President.
The Summit was preceded by the resolution of the automobile
trade issue -- a testi~ony to our ability to work out
reasonable solutions to seemingly intractable bilateral
problems on the basis of mutual understanding.
In \Jashing ton, the Prime Minister and President f'.eagan
concurred on the most important global and regional political
and economic issues. They shared a common concern about the
rapid groHth of Soviet military power in this region of the
world and the Soviet willingness to use their power in
Af9hanistan and elsewhere; they agreed that an appropriate
division of defense roles for the United States and Japan is
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 32, Box 2, Folder 18, Mansfield Library, University of Montana
- 6 -
desirable; they concurred in the view that the industrial
democracies should consult and cooperate more on defense, on
improving the world economy and on development assistance to
Third World countries; and they each resolved tu maintain a
free and fair trading system. The Summit was a clear
demonstration of the close ties, which) to repeat, bind our two
countries in the most important bilateral relationship in the
world. I assure you that nothing has occurred since the ~um~it
which detracts in any \Jay from the significance of this meeting
between our top leaders or the closeness of our relations. And
I can think of no more positive or auspicious way to usher in
the two new Adr:1inistrations in Hashington and Tokyo, and this
new decade of the SO's as well, than this remarkable Summit we
experienced in May.
There has been much discussion in recent years of trade
frictions between our two countries. Indeed, we have faced
some difficult problems, both in my period as Ambassador and
before. Undoubtedly we will face others in the future. But we
have made great pro9ress in our ability to resolve t~ese
problems, and in reaping the benefits of the largest overseas
trading relationship in the history of the world.
One aim of the President's economic recovery program is to
make American business more competitive, both at home and
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 32, Box 2, Folder 18, Mansfield Library, University of Montana
- 7 -
abroad. ~ecently the President's Special Trade Representative,
William Brock, made this point clear when he stated to Congress
on July 8, "A strong U.S. economy is our goal. Free trade,
based on mutually acceptable goals and relations, is essential
to the pursuit of that goal." I recognize that the u.s. has
not been immune to p rotectionist pressures. None of us are.
We all have to deal at times with political reality. But, as
Ambassador Brock's statement to Congress makes clear, we arc
acutely aware that the maintenance of open markets is essential
to our economic well-being and that protectionist tendencies
need to be kept under control every\Jhere.
It is inevitable that the dynamic Japanese enterprises
which you head and our equally dynamic l >r.Jerican companies will
compete in the rr.arket place. This is healthy. But it is
neither inevitable nor necessary for commercial conpetition to
result in political friction. however, our companies, as I am
sure yours are, will be sensitive to discriminatory practices
which distort the market place and place them at a competitive
disadvantage. For a free-trading systen to work it must be
truly free. The use of export credits and subsidies, tied aid
to developing countries, discriminatory investment incentives
and restraints in trade are all means for destroying both the
fabric and trust upon '.vhich t h e free trade system is built. It
is not enough that legal barriers be removed, if extra-legal
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 32, Box 2, Folder 18, Mansfield Library, University of Montana
- 8 -
barriers and business practices make it very difficult for new
suppliers and customers to enter the trading structure. It is
not enough to lower tariff barriers if non-tariff barriers
remain in place or new ones are erected. He made great
progress in the Multilateral Trade Negotiations in establishing
a network of agree@ents for the removal of non-tariff barriers
to trade. It is essential that these agreements be effectively
irr:ple@ented. 'l'his should be the objective not just of
governments, but bus ines swen as vi ell. For it is the
businessman who will suffer most if the trading systeffi
collapses under the pressure of non-conformity with its rules
and guidelines.
One of the more visible and more important of the
agreements flowing out of the M~~ was the opening of NTT
procurement to foreign suppliers. As with the other Wrl~
agreements, the manner in which the NTT agreerr:ent on
procurement policies is implemented in practice will be the key
to determining the success of this agreement. Cur experience
thus far with implementation of the NTT agreement has been
particularly encouraging. \~ are optimistic that the
understanding which UTT leaders are demonstrating of the
problems facing U.S. businessmen in Japan will prove a model
for other sectors of the Japanese economy. I believe Anerican
companies increasingly recognize the need to familiarize
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 32, Box 2, Folder 18, Mansfield Library, University of Montana
- 9 -
themselves with the particulars of the Japanese market and
preferences of Japanese consumers and to invest the time, money
and effort needed to achieve success in Japan. Moreover , in my
view, Japanese businessmen are becoming more internationally
minded; they recognize that the prosperity of Japan's economy
depends on the economic strength and vitality of Japan's
friends and partners. As appreciation of the international
aspects of economic affairs deepens among Japanese businessmen,
the need for continuing efforts to encourage imports and
foreign investment is increasingly recognized.
Although I have been talking about our bilateral
relationships, I must also mention the other great trading
partner of our two countries, the industrial democracies of
\Jestern Europe. 'lhe growing interdependence linkin9 tbe
economies of ~-Jestern Europe, Japan and the U.S. is such that
the actions of one partner of this triangle cannot but have
effect upon the economies of the other two; trading patterns
between two affect the third. 1bere is no doubt that the
industrial democracies are faced with structural problems in a
number of mature, basic industries, including steel, textiles
and automobiles. It is equally clear that other sectors of the
economy -- machine tools, semi-conductors, computers --are
areas of future competition. The recent visit of Prime
Minister Suzuki to Europe has been particularly valuable in
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 32, Box 2, Folder 18, Mansfield Library, University of Montana
- 10 -
underlining the common interests of these three great economic
entities and in pointing the way toward improved economic
cooperation among them. I welcome the Prime I1inister 's
leadership in this area and support his efforts to find
mutually acceptable solutions to the problem confronting the
industralized democracies.
Energy is also an issue which requires Japan and the United
States to work together. 'l'here is a major risk that the
current softness in oil ~arkets will uive rise to unjustified
complacency. Japan and the United States have both made
remarkable steps in reducing their dependence on imported oil.
There is every reason for this effort to continue since the
United States and Japan have much to gain throwjh energ·y
cooperation, bilaterally and through assistance to third
countries seeking to develop their own energy resources.
Japan's efforts on behalf of economic developDent are
equally outstanding. 'l.,.ne doubling of Japanese aiel over t11e
next five years will further economic development in deservins
countries and contribute to global security.
Of course, neither J"apan nor the United States can afford
to lose sight of the international se~urity situation. TI1e
rapid buildup of the Soviet Union's military capability during
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 32, Box 2, Folder 18, Mansfield Library, University of Montana
- 11 -
the past two decades, during a period of so-called detente, and
their willingness to use military forces directly, as in
ll.fg·hanistan, or through surrogates as in Africa and elsewhere
is disturbing. Unfortunately, the Northwest Pacific has not
been spared this buildup. Troops and fortifications have
increased on the occupied northern islands and there has been a
quantum increase of Harth Korean offensive capability. 'l'he
Soviets have also enl1anced their ability to threaten the West's
oil lifeline in the Persian Gulf. They have substantially
increased their naval forces in the Indian Ocean. Soviet,
Cuban and other military advisors and forces are in place in an
arc running from Afghanistan to Yemen and Ethiopia, and t'bey
have strengthened the already huge forces in the southern part
of the Soviet Dnion •~ich faces this area. In East Asia, the
USSR has made the Soviet Pacific fleet the biggest and best of
its four fleets. 1he US~R has established a beachhead in
Vietnam and frequently uses some of the best anchorages in Asia
at Cam Ranh Bay and Danang and the adjacent airfields. It is
no longer an uncommon sight to see Soviet warships and planes
moving back and forth over the Japan ~ea on their way between
Vladivostok and Vietnam. The U~SR also has a strong Indian
Ocean naval force and very strong elements, up to 51 divisions
25% of its land forces -- along the Sino-Soviet border and
in the Soviet Far East. Approximately 2G percent of its Air
Force is located in these same overall areas.
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 32, Box 2, Folder 18, Mansfield Library, University of Montana

From 1945 to 1965 the United Staten was in yood shape to
protect several fronts unilaterally. Since that time, we have
become aware of the fact that no one nation can stand alone but
that all the nations of the \lest capable of so doinCJ r.mst stand
together. \~ have had to depend more and more on our allies
and friends.
In standing together, however, we each have certd.in
responsibilities. The Reagan ad~inistration is cetermined to
fulfill its duty. For exaMple, the United States will increase
its defense budget more tnan $30 billion for this year and
next. The 7th Fleet has been strengthened to such an extent
that we now maintain two carriers on duty in the western Indian
Ocean guarding the back door to the hrab-Israeli area and the
front door to the richest oil producing nations in the world
along the Persian Gulf. TI1ey are out there in our behalf and
in Japan's because we know how vital Mideast oil is to your
In the new international situation that 11e face, the United
States firmly believes Japan should, can and 11ill do more -- on
its own responsibility as a sovereign nation -- to ensure the
defense of its own territory and surrounding sea and air
space. The United States is not asking Japan to do more so
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 32, Box 2, Folder 18, Mansfield Library, University of Montana
- 13 -
that we can do less. Despite overall budget austerity, the
Reagan administration has sought $32 billion more in defense
spending next year than had been planned by the previous
administration and $200 billion more over the next five years.
He recognize the constraints that Japan faces and are not
asking Japan to do anything that would contravene its
constitution, create major economic difficulties, or alarm
neighboring countries. \k recognize and appreciate the
accomplishments Japan has already made. At the sane time, we
are convinced that the new challenges we foce require a
heightened emphasis on defense by the United States and its
allies in \/estern Europe and Japan.
There has been much press discussion of the so-called gap
between U.S. and Japanese defense thinking. I do not deny that
we have some differences in regard to scale and timing.
however, according to reports vle have received frora the
Secretary of Defense, tlr. \Ieinberger, the Secretary of State,
Nr. Haig, and the National Security Advisor to President
Reagan, Mr. Allen, the recent visit by the Virector General of
the National Defense Agency to Hashington was both good and
substantial. Reflecting the views of the President, those
officials who met with Mr. Omura spoke with one voice. Since
then the Cabinet has underlined this agreement. U.S. officials
were clear in stating that we are not asking Japan to do the
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 32, Box 2, Folder 18, Mansfield Library, University of Montana
- 14 -
impossible and are aware of the liQits japan currently faces.
~ithin that framework, however, the United States continues to
anticipate a greater effort on the part of Japan.
We welcome and encourage a growing Japanese role in world
affairs and look to Japan to contribute to the search for
solutions to the many problems which confront us. He also
recognize that the comprehensive and complex relationship
between our two countries will not be without some rough spots,
making it all the more necessary that a true dialogue be
maintained and that a common vision of where we want this
relationship to go be sousht. I am convinced that we are
moving, together, in the right direction, and that our
partnership will continue to develo!J to the benefit not only of
Japan and the United States but of all nations that share our
values and aspirations.

Re: Tracy Smith
I think I recall his having an incredible split for the last 400 meters of a 5,000m or 10,000m race.
Re: Tracy Smith
I went to Alhambra HS and Arcadia was our big rival and we always liked the guys on the team; having the connection to Tracy, who came to a few meets (his younger brother ran for Arcadia, I think) did not hurt.
I have another connection with him that I did not realize until I read the post earlier on this thread). When I was in high school we twice did an Easter Week work camp at Bishop California, the Alhambra Presbyterian Church maybe 1967 and 1968? Since he was later affiliated with the church in Bishop, I guess I worked on the buildings he used a few years later.
skwagner, I just sent you a Private Message with some more info.
Re: Tracy Smith
Hey Guys, sound this while I was browsing my coaches name! Tracy Smith is currently the cross country coach at Crook County High School in Prineville, OR. He still lives in Bend but coaches XC and LD in Prineville. He is one of the sweetest guys I know and still runs most of our drills with us! On our last XC practice of the season we watched the footage of him breaking off 3 laps early and it was awesome to see his determination and high spirits as he ran! So proud to know him and be coached by him! We are the luckiest team to have him! Anyways, just wanted to give an update on his current situation!

Re:Tracy Smith Part 1
I realize I am very late in joining this topic, but hopefully some of the people that participated in it are still around. This went way longer than I intended, so I had to do 2 posts due to the length of my comments.
I lived in Bishop from the summer of 1976 - summer of 1978 and went to high school there my sophomore/junior years. Had to move away a week before my senior year began, but that's another topic. Anyways, Tracy Smith was our track distance coach while I was there, and had an incredible influence on my life. He was/is incredibly humble and a man of great character. I was new to running, and while I quickly learned from others that he had held a world record and had been in the Olympics, there was no way you could tell that by talking to him. He was a terrific role model for all of us, and it sounds like he is continuing to be a great example to the kids up in Oregon.
I remember, distinctly, how he would run our interval workouts with us on the track. He would run with the boys, and while we did our recovery jog, he would run with the interval with the girls. By the time the girls were done, we were ready to go and he would go with us while the girls recovered. This would continue for the entire workout with Tracy never getting a break until everyone's workout was complete. Looking back at this, he would have been in his early 30's, and he was still in excellent condition, so for an athlete of his caliber to do this probably wasn't too difficult (the boys would average 65 - 80 a lap). However, the feeling of running with him and watching him run has been imprinted in my mind. He was almost machine like, it seemed like he could go forever and was just so compact and smooth. He was very strong and his arms seemed to move like pistons. He encouraged me to do pull ups to increase my upper body strength which I gladly did in the hopes I could run like him, or at least look like him as I ran.
Tracy stressed the importance of knowing your limits and running on pace for most of the race. During our track workouts he would tell us what splits we were to hit. Sometimes it was race pace, other times it was goal pace. He kept a record of each workout and at the end of a certain period of time, the boy and girl who were closest to the splits for those workouts us were invited over to his house for a waffle/pancake breakfast. I was able to win once and I was in awe. He had a glass coffee table in the living room with only a few of his medals and it was impressive. Other than that, you would have no idea of how great a runner he was.

Re: Tracy Smith Part 2
His wife, Caroline, was just as humble. She was also an accomplished runner. They had a golden retreiver, I think it's name was Shawn, that loved to go in the lakes and retrieve. They also had a donkey or a mule named Christmas. Tracy would load her up and take us backpacking in the Sierras. So, as you can probably tell, I wasn't too thrilled to have to leave this just before my senior year. He also had a running camp in Mammoth during the summer that I attended after I graduated high school. I could go on and on, but the bottom line is this: Tracy was a great runner, but above all of that he was a man of exemplary character to his runners. I sent him a Christmas card a few years ago, and it looks like he has raised his children to also be wonderful citizens. I am thankful for the short time I knew him, and am not surprised he is still going strong after all these years. The kids in Oregon are fortunate.
Now, about Bishop Union cross country. We won the Mt. SAC Invitational and CIF 1A (I think that is what it was called back then) in 1976 and 1977. Richard Arnold was our coach, and he was fantastic. A man of few words, but we all wanted to perform for him. Our training area and the courses we ran on in league were nothing compared to the Mt. SAC course. We would come down from 4,000 ft. altitude and see the smooth, almost road-like surface of Mt. SAC and do very well. Our top guy, Steve Peters, won CIF cross country two years in a row. Our second guy, Horatio Martinez, was usually right behind. There was no state cross country meet back then, so I don't know how our times would have compared to the other larger schools. But compared to the small schools, I think we did pretty well.
Okay, sorry for being long winded, but the 2 years I spent in Bishop created some wonderful memories. It's where I began to run competitively, and it was fantastic. We had 2 superb men coaching us, talented athletes, and an excellent environment to train in. I have lost contact with all of them, other than Tracy, so if any of them see this, shoot me an email!
Re: Tracy Smith
Thanks for the backstory, Brian.
I was coaching at Carpinteria HS during that mid 70's to very early '80's time period.
Our boy's teams were always in the CIF Finals and a couple of times we thought our seven had real shots at winning but Bishop Union and/or the Sherman Indians were always too tough at the end of the season!
I distinctly remember one Bishop runner (I'm thinking it was Peters) running at Mt. Sac with a pretty gnarly looking cast on his arm. That was the sort of resolve that was difficult to beat.
