Show SEPTEMBER 1, 1987 Powerful Weber routs Darts in preseason 37-1- 6 victory KEITH DUNCAN By KAYSVILLE After Davis Highs football team had come home from Pleasant View, fresh off 6 a drubbing at the hands of Weber High, one of the coaches nearly said it all in a chalkboard demonstration to the team. Kids, he said, There are three things youve got to master before this season can even hope to become successful. Number one is work, number 2 is work and num37-1- ber 3 is work. That about said it all. pushed the panic button if anyone is wondering, I mean really, this thing just started. There are at least continued eight games left, Dickson. The coach further explained, "A lot of people thought that first game was the season, but to me its more important who is still playing in late October and early November. I promise you, no panic buttons have been pushed yet. In the game against the Warriors, Weber never relinquished its hold on the games momentum. Weber built up a 0 lead at halftime and eventually moved a score before Sean Smith scored on d a conrun. The version made it 23-Davis Jeff Kinard scored the Darts last touchdown and another conversion made it when the gun sounded. Weber, who won the state championship in 1985, saw quarterback Chris McGarry pass for three touchdowns. I dont know how good Weber is," said Dickson, Because I really don't know yet where we stand." Davis, for the first time in many years, started five juniors. The Darts have started a lot ofjuniors in the past, but never quite this early in the season. A lot of the juniors starting came about because of injuries. Running back Mike Clark has become one of the most e kids out of the Davis line-unote-ablp. Perhaps the game could have had a different outcome had the Darts converted on a fourth down and inches play in the second quarter. But an offsides call moved the ball back five yards and Davis nev- 17-- 23-- 0 The Darts just didnt play well against Weber last Friday night and it was borne out again in game film that both coaches and players will scrutinize this week. like game films for a couple of reasons, said Jim Dickson, But the main reason is that they dont 1 lie.

He had not yet been told officially. . . But, just the same, he knew. I had been in the back yard puttering around when I received a telephone call, he recalls. It was an invitation to meet with the school board and the caller told me to bring my wife along to the meeting. Then, with a wide grin, he says, The wife was the key. ..Its serious business when youre asked to bring your wife along. I figured the Board had already made their decision. He was right. The decision had been made. And in some circles it was not a popular decision. Some saw the Kendell appointment as a snub to associate superintendent Gayle Stevenson, one of three finalists for the job and a man whom many feel is the most brilliant educator in Davis County. Other groused that Kendell was an outsider, a businessman with little experience in the nuts and bolts environment of a classroom. Most of the comments were murmured. But an went public with his concern, in letter a to the editor that the Kencharging dell appointment was a conspiracy led by one school board member. And a citizen group, led by a veteran political leader, even considered e advertisement announcpurchasing a ing its displeasure. teacher. Goodness, said a Bountiful-are- a Now we have some computer hotshot running the whole educational system. Who is this guy? Who is he? The answer is somewhat complex, although Kendell is more of a relaxed straight-shootthan he is an enigma. old man Dr. Richard Kendell is a who believes that Linda Ronstadt is the greatest singer of the hast 20 years... A man who walked into a record store last week and bought a copy of a Paul Simon album... A man whose love of literature sidetracked his intention of becoming a dentist... A man who is a tennis player but who seldom plays the game with anyone other than his wife and children.. .A man who has spent almost all of his career in education and yet has little name recognition among Davis County teachers. And, most importantly, Dr. Richard Kendell is a man who will certainly bring some changes to the Davis County schools. full-pag- er 44-ye- ar better-than-avera- Change is difficult for most people, says Dr. Kendell, relaxing in his third floor temporary office one week before taking the helm of Utahs third largest school district. One of the greatest fears is the fear of the unknown--an- d for a lot of people in this county, I am an unknown. But while I have strong opinions and I certainly have the will to act I make a terrible autocrat. Im too concerned and humanistic, and I firmly believe that decisions should be made onfy ai'ter broad discussion. When you have input from other people, you greatly reduce the possibility of making a poor decision and you likewise dramatically increase the chances of making a sound deci- sion." Pausing, then shifting in his chair, he reflects upon his own limitations. I am not a bureaucrat. ..Im an instructional leader. As a leader, my main task is to establish a climate in which bright, able people strive for excellence. My ability to directly affect education is limited. What happens in a classroom is almost totally linked to the attitude and the performance of the teacher, not the' superintendent. But what I can supply is leadership. If I didnt think I could provide that leadership, 1 DR. RICHARD KENDELL never would have applied or accepted the job. If I would have wanted to make big money, I would have stayed in the private sector. I took this job because I thought I could make a differ- ence. Education, like business, faces some immediate challenges. None of the school districts have unlimited funds and yet some districts may feel like they are seeing unlimited students. Personally, for instance, Im an d schools. But before advocate of such a decision is made, we should review such a plan to see if it is economically feasible and educationally productive. A previous study for Davis County concluded that the approach is not economically beneficial, and I intend to look at those findings. He applies the same caution to the suggestion that computers be emphasized as a method of reducing classroom Costs. His work with learned all the jargon, he computers d impresslaughs) also reinforced his ions of technological limitations. You can establish learning laboratories in schools, he notes, but students will not perform well unless there is close teacher contact. If a teacher simply marches the students down to a computer room and shouts Okay kids, its lab time!, then learning is actually decreased. Computers are not the answer, but they can be a helpful aid. This humanistic side colors his philosophy in other areas as well. While supportive of competitive athletics, he believes more emphasis should be placed on intramural sports involving the total studentbody.. .While realizing the Title 9 financial costs of meeting is he the with delighted expanded regulations, opportunities for girls participating in school sports. ..While acknowledging that districts d in dealing must become more with problem teachers, he stresses the need for employers to be humane in the treatment of employees. His humanistic traits should come as no surprise. As a businessman, hes read In Search of Excellence. ..And as an English major, hes read William Faulkner. year-roun- (I first-han- equal-gend- er tough-minde- So who is this guy? Hes a man of eclectic taste equally comfortable listening to Ronnie Milsap records or watching public television networks. Hes a man influenced by two separate decades, able to appreciate the pragmatism of the 1950s and the idealism of the 1960s. (You have one thing going against you, said noted educator Sterling McMurrin in a congratulatory telephone call. Youre too dam young and you look even younger!) Hes a man with strong views who seeks avenues of advice before striking out on a specific path. And, most importantly to him, hes a family man, intensely proud of his childrens achievements and cognizant of their concerns.
