The 5,000 square foot store located about 160 E. Main Street, takes over from Clove and Sons General Store as the city's largest grocery. Clove and Sons, located about a block and one-half west of the new Terry's Market is larger if the clothing section is included, but store owner Grant Clove indicated the grocery section, added about six years ago, is only 3,600 square feet.

The new Terry's Market replaces the Terry's Merc which is across the street from Clove and Sons. Terry's Merc had 1,200 square feet. "We've been open about one week, but we're trying to have a grand opening we're not really ready for that, but we're here," Reginald Terry said Friday, smiling as he put milk into the display coolers. Touch up work around the building is yet being completed. The store is to include three Shell gasoline pumps.

The $250,000 store was constructed by Fenton Terry, brother of Reginald. The two are sons of Maeser Terry, who opened Terry's Merc in 1947. "I did the farming and he did the store clerking," Fenton said of the brothers growing up. Fenton studied business management at Brigham Young University, then returned to purchase the Merc from his father. Fenton said Zions First National Bank will probably purchase the old Terry's Merc lot, unless the Terrys receive a better offer.

Zions is located just west of the lot and could use it for parking. ENTERPRISE Grand opening for Terry's Market in Enterprise was Friday and Saturday. The store in owned and managed by Reginald Terry. ST. GEORGE Robert Ward, manager of the St.

GEORGE Scott Reber, a native of St. George, was recently promoted to manager of Anthony Motors used car division. Scott, 24, has been the Las Vegas area salesman for Anthony for one year. "He loves cars," says Reber's wife. "Especially restoring and fixing them up." Scott started selling cars at Harry Heathmen Chevrolet where he worked for one year.

After another year doing mechanicalmaintenance work for Truck Safety International, he was offered a sales position at the St. George Datsun Mazda dealership for two and one-half years.

On the other hand, contemporary music is the most popular radio format in the nation with over 34 million adults tuning-in daily Miller said. "Of those adults, over 54 per cent are ages 25-54.

That's the prime advertising market right now!" Miller said these people gravitate to FM radio and therefore the move to make a contemporary FM radio at KSUB was a logical one. Management opted to change the call letters of the FM station to signify an entirely new format. Miller said choosing KSSD was an inspiration and he was surprised that the call letters were actually available. "It's great for this area. The St.

George Chamber of Commerce has choosen 'Sun Kissed' as their motto, so it goes along with that really well." The response to the change over has been very positive Miller said. "We didn't take away any music from anyone just switched it." The only negative comments he said he has received about the change have been from country listeners who miss the stereo sound. But Miller said he has a solution. "It is my full intention to provide AM stereo. It is a totally new concept.

It's only been on the market a year and a half." A special radio is required to receive the stereo signal but Miller said Chrysler and GMC cars can now be ordered with AM-FM stereo radios. "Generally you can't tell the difference between the FM and the AM stereos. We plan to do it as soon as possible perhaps within the next year or two," he said. Miller said the new stations will feature what he calls "personality radio" with live announcers who involve the listeners. Small contests and a public news tip service are intended to encourage listeners to interact with radio station.

Part of Miller's community involvement plans include moving the station's studios down town, so they are more in the public eye. Next year Miller said he will seek to improve the station's image in the St. George area. He plans to replace the old transmitter in Washington County and install a St. George telephone line so people can participate in the contests the radio sponsors.

Miller said he intends to make KSUB-AM and KSSD-FM the best possible radio stations. "Change is hard for our listeners and sometimes even for us." But Miller said the changes mean a more profitable business and better service to the Color Country area. by Barb Yardley Spectrum correspondent CEDAR CITY Country-western music took over KSUB radio's AM channel on March 1, while adult contemporary music made the move to the station's FM dial. Station manager, David Miller said the switch from the previous format of an FM country station and an AM contemporary station just made good business sense. Miller, who came to KSUB in September, said the station's previous format seemed just opposite of the general trends around the country.

"At most small stations the country music was on the AM. Country doesn't generally do well on FM in a small area." "We had just lost a good portion of our country audience to KCLG in St. George and we felt we should do some research into the listening trends and the availabli-ty of FM radios in the area." Miller said the station undertook a telephone study in December and found that both the KSUB-AM and FM station were very strong. "In fact," he added, "we had the number one and two radio stations in the area." Taking into consideration the results of the survey, the projected growth of SUSC and the skiing industry and a national trend that contemporary listeners are switching to FM, Miller said the station decided to change it's format. "It was a positioning statement we needed to make or we would be caught by the growth later." There is a large audience for country music in the area and Miller said he thought they would be able to increase the number of Cedar City listeners by switching to AM.

"Our survey showed the majority of people who like country didn't have FM radios in their vehicles," the station manager said. He was quick to add, however, that country fans could no longer be pigeonholed as cowboys driving old pick-up trucks. 'You cannot stereotype a country music listener anymore. They are just the average person on the street. Besides there is so much cross-over from country people like Kenny Rogers, Dolly Parton, Barbara Mandrell or even the Oak Ridge Boys on contemporary radio." "It's become a lifestyle image.

Basically you're trying to reach the same person (as with contemporary music), it's the i CEDAR CITY Disc jockey Dick Gunn plays the country music hits on the new KSUB-AM. The radio station, along with it's contemporary music sister station KSSD-FM, altered it's format in March to accommodate the changing listening patterns of the community. Walker installed ST. GEORGE Bill Walker was recently installed as the new salesman at Arrow Audio, the company said. Walker, a Utah native from Brig-ham City, spent four years in Denver as a store manager for mart.

The past nine years Walker has lived in Boulder, Nevada, working first as the district sales manager for Eureka Company and most recently as a salesman in the appliance department for one and a half years at Bowmer and Berry's Showkase in Las Vegas. Bill Walker Clinic opens ENTERPRISE The Enterprise Valley Medical Clinic is to open its first week of business Monday, said Kelly Beaumont, physician's assistant at the facility. Dr. Marcus Kuypers, director of emergency services at the Valley View Medical Center in Cedar City, is to visit the clinic on Fridays, Beaumont said. "It will be just like a doctor's office," Beaumont said, noting it will offer primary care.

He said Kuypers will be his "supervising physician." The clinic, 213 S. 200 East, was to have held its grand opening Saturday. It was financed with a $37,000 Community Impact grant from Utah's state government; $67,000 from a U.S. Health Department grant; $25,000 from Inter-mountain Health Care; and $5,000 from Enterprise City.

He notes the company also enjoys doing residential projects.

One he says they are proud of is the Dr. Bruce Williams home in Bloomington, which included installing a swimming pool and doing "rockscaping." The Williams' home, he says, included "things you don't normally find in a residence" like a redwood deck about 90 feet by 30 feet and a cabana which not only includes a dry spa and a sauna, but a kitchen facility, stereo system and shower room. Although anxious to carry their share of the business, Jeff says "we're aware there is competition and we're aware of it every time we go after a bid. Among the other landscaping businesses in St. George are the Rose Garden Nursery, William's Garden Center; Browning's Landscaping, Raintree Landscaping; and Tavish B.

McGregor. Tri-T is also an installer of swimming pools, along with Utah Pool, Spa and Patio, Inc. and San Juan Pools. Jeff says he would have any idea how many pools there are in the St. George area, then ventures to estimate there are probably 300-400.

Editor's note: Tri-T Landscaping is building itself a new home and a plaza for subcontractors on Sunset Boulevard, just across from the Valley View Drive intersection. ST. GEORGE Formerly a game warden and a football coach, brothers Jeff and Charlie Norton figured they had the experience to be landscapers. "We both decided that, after what we'd been doing, we needed to look for something else," Jeff says. His minor at SUSC had been in botany and, as parks and recreation director at Toole, Charlie had supervised installing parks, cemeteteries and golf courses.

"He had some background in landscaping and I have some education in botany, so I had some background in plants," Jeff says. "So we decided to team up and start a landscaping company down here. Enter Tri-T Landscaping. Tri-T has survived to become one of the common landscaping companies in St. George.

The company opened March 16, 1979, "and we've never been out of work one day since." Opening during the recession, the pair have prospered anyway. Jeff's theory is that although people did not have enough money to travel, "there were more people staying home and more people wanting to fix their gardens up." Tri-T's projects have included Dixie State Bank, the Washington County Hall of Justice, Toniquint condominiums, LDS churchyards, a large Dixie College project, the stalling a swimming pool, redwood deck, dry spa, sauna, shower room; and kitchen facility.
