Show SAYS SHE by Michele Bartmess A community said farewell Thursday night to the man who literally put it on the map. I was there and with the more than 200 others who turned out to pay their respects, I cried. What Hal Rindlisbacher The Kearns high band is also countless hours of unpaid overtime, the hassles with superiors. His life would have been complete as a music teacher putting in his time and going home to his growing famil- ex- pected to remain alive and well. Principal Bill Christopulos has introduced a capable replacement and (it was previously Rendlesbach ) gave to Kearns can never be acmeasured. Who can say how many curately lives he touched in a positive way? Now this isnt a eulogy, though it may sound like one. Hal is alive and well, closing out his' last few days of school before taking a leave of absence. It may or may not be permanent and he may or may not return to Kearns high. pledged to help the band continue its fine tradition. Richard Shelly, you have some big footsteps to follow. Kearns, you must realize that this man has his own ideas, his own plans. He deserves your support. But for a moment, let us reflect on the legacy that Hal is leaving behind. I realize he has his critics. He knows it too. But despite what has been said, everything Hal Rindlisbacher ever did was for the kids. y- But Hal enlarged that family to include hundreds of kids who might otherwise have had nothing to do. Nothing to take pride in. Some of those kids might not be the successful people they are today had it not been for that program. Bach, as he is fondly called, was aggressive in getting what he wanted. His efforts touched almost every aspect of the community. In his nine years, that community came up with over $650,000. That money provided new uniforms, Kids who came from a community that nine years ago didnt have the most positive Today, I think it does. instruments such as herald, trumpets, and it sent the kids to the far corners of the world - to Europe, Canada, the nations capital, New self-imag- e. -- York City, Hawaii, California, Texas and Oregon and on countless other trips. But Hal also took them to Magna There was simply too much work involved for Hals activities to have been anything but selfless. He didnt need the broadening travel, the those were met. The youngsters learned They also learned that he meant what he said. that community celebrate the 4th of July; to Granger for to help Christmas parades in cold and on one hot Independence Day to four community celebone-chillin- e. g brations. And the band was always decked out in full regalia for Hometown Days - despite temperatures soaring toward the century -- mark. That money wasnt a gift. Kearns high band students learned to work for what they wanted. They gardened, shoveled snow and sold things. No youngster was ever denied opportunity to participate because of financial problems. The band was a family and everyone helped everyone else. If there were students who needed this influence in their lives but lacked ability to play an instrument, Hal found a place for them. They could carry guns, flags or in some other way be a part of the group. Hal set high standards of behavior and for the most part Kearns is on the map because of musical achievement coupled with good behavior, not because the kids were notorious. I watched him agonize over the decision to send a student who didnt follow the rules home from a tour. He didnt want to do it, but he knew he had to. The tours were always organized to give the students opportunity to learn from them. In Washington, D.C., Kearns high students were exposed to this countrys history as well as its beauty. In New York, they attended a Broadway play, saw the Statue of Liberty and hundreds of other sights. Then they had a few hours to shop and be on their own. But they never forgot why they came. When they went to Europe, the uniforms didnt. But the band didnt scratch its performances. In Philadelphia the worst rainstorm of the decade struck on July 4. Midway through the route. Hal and his band didnt quit. They finished the route and although it all but ended the uniforms life, the remainder of the concert dates were not cancelled. The Kearns high band kept its commitments. That was a learning experience in and of itself, for in today's world, all too few people keep commitments when the going gets tough. Thursday night Hal called you -members of the community, student body and fellow staffers - to pay his final tribute to his musicians and you in turn took opportunity to pay your respects. I dont know what the decision will be next spring, Hal. But I do know that the teaching profession needs more like you. Men and women who will occasionally buck the system. Teachers who will give their all. For the kids. Thanks, Hal. -- V named second coun- selor.

Several of the high students ex- pressed resentment toward lippy, undisciplined classmates. It bears out the results of far more sophisticated polls by Gallup and others. The Gallup Poll said teenage students top complaint in school is lack of discipline. Many teachers will tell you that discipline is one of learnings greatest friends - and that lack of discipline is one of its worst enemies. Many, students excited, interested, if not most, in Utah are well-motivat- people, intensely interested in working the education mine for all its worth.
