Monday, July 7, 1997 From the Front The Spectrum Page A3 Cottonwood schedules concert series show For The Spectrum WYO, ments besides the violin and mandolin, which he uses with Cottonwood. Woodbury has toured and performed throughout the western United States for nearly 20 years as a classical guitarist. He has been on touring arts programs in Utah, Idaho, Washington, South Dakota and Arizona, and he has performed with the Utah Symphony and the Colorado Springs Symphony. He is head of the guitar program at Weber State University and a faculty member at both the University of Utah and Westminster College. Grant, a specialist in tuned drums (tablas), has mastered hundreds of other percussion instruments.

He has been a resident artist and taught workshops through the West As a freelance percussionist, he has a variety of recordings to his credit. "Cottonwood's concerts demonstrate dramatically the wide span of the group's repertoire and the great variety of its musical possibilities," said Maria Bingham, director of the summer concert series for SUU's office of lectures-special projects. "For instance, they might follow a baroque concerto with a Scottish fiddle tune or maybe play a Brazilian samba after an Italian classical sonata." The three musicians use their combined experience and a variety of combinations of their instruments to provide their spectrum of musical color and interpretation. Thompson, who earned a bachelor's degree from Harvard and a master's degree from the University of Utah, has performed as a chamber soloist throughout the West. He also has been a violinist with the Utah Symphony for 18 years.

He plays numerous other instru A repertoire of music covering four centuries will be presented Sunday, July 13, at the Southern Utah University Summer Evening Concert Series presentation by Cottonwood. A three-member ensemble of violin-mandolin, classical guitar and percussion, Cottonwood, performs at 7 p.m. in the Randall L. Jones Theatre. All concerts in the SUU summer series are free and open to the public.

The name for the group was derived from the names of two of the ensemble's performers, violin and mandolin player John Cotton Thompson and guitarist Todd Woodbury. The third member of the group is percussionist George Grant. IDAHO Ogden 88' Provo 89 NEV. Richfield Cedar City 90 St. George ARIZ Salt Southern Utah landscapes ft: Logan 85 Lake City 89 92 COLO.

FORCE Continued from Al At times, the group will also use information and resources from the IronGarfield County Drug Task Force, Mesquite Police Department, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Utah Department of Investigations. "No department can be an island to itself," said St. George Police Chief Bob Flowers. "Our criminal element is extremely mobile. We're really just one big community." The idea is not a new one.

From time to time, officers from different agencies have worked together on a specific drug case. There has been informal cooperation. But the task force will be an ongoing team to tackle the overall problem, said Washington County Attorney Eric Ludlow. "The drug problem is getting worse and worse," he said. "They will have a headquarters and have briefings daily.

The big thing I'm excited about is the cooperation. It hasn't been as coordinated as we would have liked it to be." The task force will be run through the county attorney's office, but will be supervised day-to-day by St. George Police Sgt. Russell Peck. Peck said the task force has been discussed during the most recent Law Enforcement Association meeting and will come up again in early July.

Federal grant money is also being sought. The joint effort will help take down larger drug operations, including a growing methamphetamine problem, he said.

If you wipe out the drug problem, it will alleviate other crimes such as burglaries and even domestic violence." A combined IronGarfield county task force has been in place since 1988. During that year, it made 38 arrests, said task force commander Sgt. David Excell, who works for Utah Department of Investigations. For the first six months of fiscal year 1997, which spans July 1, 1996, through January 1, 1997, there were 58 arrests. Excell said Washington County will1 also 'benefit from' having a narcotics task force, although drug officers iri this area have always worked together.

"It's just a matter of formalizing it," he said. "We have a lot of inter-jurisdictional drug traffic. Our drug officers know their drug officers." Excell agreed that methamphetamine use has increased recently. In the Iron and Garfield county area, cocaine has decreased steadily since 1988. Methamphetamine has risen, and marijuana has stayed constant, he said.

"That's the battle we're fighting now," he said. "Methamphetamine is the drug of choice. It's cheaper and has about the same effect as cocaine." Pete Kuhlmann, sheriff's office chief deputy, also said the task force will make cooperation easier. "It's something we've been trying to do for a while, and now it looks like it's going to happen," he said. "It will help immensely instead of everyone working on their own." a call to Rush Limbaugh," Miner said.

There were other talk radio stations in Southern Utah, but none of them had tried to get the highly rated, nationally syndicated program. Miner said Iron County residents responded. The station then added Dr. Laura Schlessinger, Gill Gross and Dr. Dean Edell to the program lineup.

Miner said the station has made a lot of progress during the last 6 12 years, including paying off nearly $200,000 in debts. Production director Dale Nelson worked with Miner in Salt Lake City before following him to Cedar City. He credits Miner with remaking the station into what it is today. "He really is responsible for keeping it going," Nelson said. "Steve came here with a lot of talent and made some changes that have worked." Now KSUB is recognized as one of Southern Utah's top-rated radio stations.

As for another 60 years. Miner has other things on his mind. "I am hoping the second coming is here before then and I can retire," he said. Bennion, Spring City; Valerie Cohen, Cedar City; Roland Lee, Dammeron Valley; Wallace Lee, St. George; and Spike Ress, Parowan.

George Boulevard once offered some dishes with a cone sticking up from their surfaces, but had no idea of their purpose. It took a customer to explain the cones on the dishes were meant to hold cored apples for baking. "I always figure somebody wilKkaaw?

On a recent day, her board held cards asking for Coca-Cola memorabilia, coffee tables and a piano. Her store attracts a lot of customers who pay regular visits, Paul said.

"They have to keep track of what's coming in," she said. "I never know what I'm going to have." Besides offering a wide variety of merchandise, a thrift store can also help your dollars go a very long way. Families with babies or small children who quickly grow out of their clothes, for example, can fill an entire wardrobe while spending little money. Baby clothing, shoes, coats or toys are routinely sold for between 50 cents and $2 at many area thrift stores. Running a thrift store can Monday Lions Club, Holiday Inn, 6:30 a.m.

At the Repeat Performance Economy Store on Tabernacle Street, items start their journey out to the shelves way in the back of the store, where they're sorted and then separated into men's, women's or children's rooms. Once each item has been identified, it's cleaned, ironed, repaired or otherwise made presentable before it's priced and then put out for sale. Repeat Performance also changes its inventory by season. Winter items such as wreaths, lights or candles are stored in the shop's basement during the summer when light weight clothing is brought up to be, sold, Many thrift stpres also donate their" time and profits to worthy causes.

Deseret Industries, the area's largest thrift-type store, for example, not only offers used merchandise for an inexpensive price, but also offers residents a way to gain job experience and valuable training. People who are hampered by any challenge can get a referral from an LDS bishop to work at the DI and there be trained to work a cash register, repair appliances or supervise workers. Applicants do not have to be LDS church members, but must be recommended by a bishop. Such experience can be just what is needed to give someone the confidence to get out in the workplace, said manager Kent Thurgood. "Our goal is just to help people with whatever their particular challenge is," Thurgood said.

The station has changed hands several times during the last 60 years, but is going strong today, as current Arbitron ratings show. Steve Miner, program director for KSUB, said he has seen some changes since he came aboard in 1990.

He said he had concerns when he came to the station after working for the popular FM-100 in Salt Lake City. "We were just about ready to have the first lights out for the station in more than 50 years of being on the air," Miner said. "It was really on its last legs in 1990." The FM station had gone off the air only a year before as a result of a mining operation on the mountain where the transmitter was. The AM station was struggling as well. Miner said something had to be done.
