Stemm’s continuing legacy of service

By Mike Adams Big Z Media When Sam Stemm first hired on to WOKZ in the late ’70s he had no idea of the legacy he would be a part of building for the small local radio station, nor the impact he would have in our community.

Stemm had recently graduated from Southern Illinois University’s Mass Communications program when he took a job at the local radio station then known as WOKZ. The station was one of a number of local daytime AM radio stations that began post

World War II. WOKZ was launched in 1948. The mission then and now remains the same: “To be a resource to serve the local community.” Sam worked at WOKZ for several years before leaving to pursue other interests.

Over the years the local radio station had various owners such as Ed Palin in the ’50s & ’60s. Morel Broadcasting bought the radio station in the early ’60s and continued operating WOKZ until 1984 when the station was purchased by the Drieth family. During that time the station’s call letters were changed to WBGZ, or “The Big Z” as it became known.

Stemm returned to WBGZ in 1987, three years later became general manager, and later joined the ownership group.

He purchased the station from the Drieth family in 2004 and became sole owner, and was fortunate to become one of a handful of broadcasters to own the radio station in his own

hometown.

Though WBGZ became a well respected entity in the greater Riverbend community, it wasn’t always that way. In Stemm’s early years of ownership, local AM stations were simply where people would tune in the morning to learn about local school closings. But under Stemm’s leadership the tide began to turn.

Sam credits two major events that had a huge impact on the perception of “The Big Z” as a viable resource for our community.

The first was the Paula Sims case. This tragic news story caught the attention of the entire nation and media outlets from all over the nation converged on Alton.

Thanks to the many local connections that Stemm and the team had developed over the years in our community, the radio station was able to get information sometimes hours before others, demonstrating the benefits of years of dedication to serving our community The second turning point came during the Great Flood of 1993. While local newspapers were only able to provide coverage of the event on a daily basis, WBGZ provided minute-to-

minute news and information that was vital to the residents of the Riverbend such as boil orders and where drinking water was being distributed. Sam said he received a call from the local newspaper on the Sunday that the water plant went down. The paper was releasing a special second edition that day, Sam Stemm, but needed the Big Z Media owner radio station to get the word out to the community. Ironically, Administration allowed local the advertisement for the AM stations to broadcast special newspaper edition 24 hours a day, opening was promoting an overview the door for local high of the events of the day that school sports to return to WBGZ was able to report the airwaves. That was a as they happened. It was banner year for local sports during this time that people as Marquette High School in the community went from football went to the state being casual listeners to semifinals and Roxana dedicated followers. made it all the way to the state championship game.

Another contributing factor According to Stemm, high was high school sports. In school sports is one of the the late ’70s WOKZ was an things that makes local radio AM and FM station, but in valuable to the community. ’79 they sold the FM side of Serving the community the operation.

SECRET DINER Delicious, relaxing lunch

By Bill Roseberry Big Z Media I visited a chain restaurant in central Madison County for my latest food stop.

There are 37 locations for this deli restaurant in Illinois, but only one in Madison County. This one is a standalone brick building that sits in a valley along a main road through town.

The sign and building is easily visible while driving by, featuring a large parking lot next to the building and a drive thru for quick access.

You enter through a small vestibule and come face to face with a long brick counter where you order.

There are several registers with an electronic menu board behind the counter featuring changing pictures of food items. A window into the kitchen is behind the counter, too.

It features a giant dining area, split into two sides.

There are partition walls down the middle with a small walkway in between the two open spaces. The floor is decorated with light and dark brown tiles. A far wall is made of brick, but the rest of the room is painted with warm colors — green, orange and yellow. The dining

Just Like Cats & Dogs

area is inhabited with high and low tables and several booths. There are both light and dark brown tables, highlighted with wooden chairs featuring orange and green cushions.

It all makes for a comforting atmosphere to enjoy some pretty stellar grub here. The main choices are high-quality deli sandwiches, but there is more available and that’s what I went for on my visit.

I started my meal with a cup of tomato bisque to lead into my main course, which was a loaded baked potato aptly named the spud max. My dining companion ordered potato soup and the signature club sandwich.

Unfortunately, my tomato bisque wasn’t quite the jump start I was expecting.

It wasn’t as creamy as I imagined with the bisque moniker. It reminded me more of a thick V8 juice in flavor. It wasn’t bad; I just hoped for more.

Luckily the spud max made up for it and lived up to its hype. The gigantic spud was heaping with great ingredients. It featured bacon, ham, turkey and was finished off with green onions, as well as melted cheddar Jack cheese.

by Dave T. Phipps

The bacon and ham really drove the taste, while the potato was extremely tender. The skin was a little tough, but also added a hearty flavor to the whole experience. This sucker was super filling, too.

My dining companion really enjoyed the potato soup and the sandwich. The signature club included smoked turkey, Black Forest ham, bacon, sharp cheddar, swiss, a spring mix, tomato, mayo and honey mustard on wheat. The soup combined the flavors of potato, onion, bacon, chives and cheese.

There are some other great options here also, like the club sandwich with an orange cranberry sauce rather than the honey mustard, the four cheese melt with provolone, swiss, cheddar, parmesan and tomato on toasted ciabatta bread and The New Yorker with corned beef, pastrami, swiss and spicy brown

There are plenty of other sandwich choices too, along with more spud options, soups and salads.

Longtime Big Z Outdoors host Larry Reid died on December 17, 2021.

Reid, along with his wife Jan, hosted a show about hunting, fishing, boating, and camping on the Big Z (107.1FM/1570AM) since 1986, and wrote articles about the outdoors for several years in Advantage. Reid died at home surrounded by his family after a brief illness.

He was 82.

Reid described himself as a member of the royal fraternity of river rats and rednecks. He lived in Alton, overlooking his beloved Mississippi River, and after retiring as an educator from the Alton School District in 1993, spent most of his time promoting almost anything that had to do with being outside.

His radio show on The Big Z grew to be one of the longest running programs about the outdoors in the country, where he and Jan would talk about catching crappie at Mark Twain Lake, the opening of an upcoming hunting season, or promoting parks and recreation areas around Illinois and Missouri.

Big Z Media General Manager Nick Darr shared, “Larry had a tremendously positive impact on so many people in the community, whether that was as an educator in the Alton School District, or through his

Reid’s program covered many local events like the B.A.S.S. Pro Circuit, which came to Illinois for the first time in 1991, and was interrupted, a time or two, by worldwide news, like President George H.W. Bush’s announcement of the Gulf War invasion in 1990.

Larry and Jan Reid church or as host of the Outdoors Show on The Big Z for the last 35 years, he met so many people and entertained so many, it’s a big loss for the community.”

Some of Reid’s favorite past guests include Cardinals Whitey Herzog and John Mayberry and recording artist and television host Tennessee Ernie Ford.

Reid was also a part of a group that founded the Two Rivers Family Fishing Fair at Pere Marquette State Park which soon became one of the largest events to celebrate National Fishing Day for kids in America. Approximately 3,000 children visit the fair each year. He also donated his time to countless organizations as a guest speaker, a hunting or fishing guide, and event emcee.

Besides his radio show, the longest-running outdoors program in the St. Louis area, Reid has also written for several outdoor publications, including Wildfowl Magazine and Heartland Outdoors.

In 1994, the Outdoor Writers of Illinois named the Reids as the Outdoor Broadcasters of the Year.

Here’s a portion of a 2015 article from advantagenews. com marking Reid’s 30 years on The Big Z:

Scott Huschle, who had been filling in for Larry about once a month for the past few years, has taken over as the host of the Outdoors Show which can still be heard at noon every Sunday on WBGZ Radio. 3

@DaveRamsey Make a budget line for fun money DEAR DAVE: I finally paid off all my debt except for my house, and I have an emergency fund of six months of expenses saved. It feels great to be in control of my money, but I am afraid I might lose control again and end up back where I started before I began following your plan. How can you make sure your leisure spending doesn’t get out of hand? -- Lavell DEAR LAVELL: I get what you’re saying. You don’t want to go back to those days of being scared and out of control where your finances are concerned. You spent a lot of time, made tons of sacrifices, and put in lots of disciplined hard work getting out of debt, changing your behavior, and finally reached a point where you’re winning with money. Most people don’t forget the hardship and sacrifices that go into something like that, and I don’t think you will, either.

There’s a season to be

MECHANICAL WORK ON ALL FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC VEHICLES

strict, hard-nosed, and deny yourself things. There’s also a time to act like an adult, and forego instant gratification, like during those early Baby Steps. But some self-care and a little fun is important once in a while, too. One way to enjoy life without going financially overboard is to make a budget line for fun money.

Putting fun money in your budget isn’t a green light to forget your money goals, or

go on a spending free-for-all.

It’s actually part of sticking to your budget. Remember, you want a zero-based budget. That means giving every dollar a job, and having a fun money category helps you focus on all your spending, so you don’t accidently waste money on little things here and there.

When you give yourself a budget line for fun, you can spend that amount on whatever you want. We talk a lot about goals and how they need to be a balance of empowering and realistic.

Budgeting fun money helps with the realistic side, because it lets you stick to your goals and have a treat every now and then.

When you think of your budget as permission to spend, you get a new perspective on budgeting.

You’re giving your money permission to go where you want it to go. Plus, when you treat yourself once in a while, you’re less likely to fall back in your old, financially-out-of-control ways! 3

PAW’S CORNER

By Sam Mazzotta Keep Pets Prepared for Emergencies in Winter, Too DEAR PAW’S CORNER: Please remind your readers to include their pets in winter emergency preparedness planning.

Last year, when the Texas power grid failed in extreme cold weather conditions, shelters saw many pets with cold-related injuries. When the power goes out on a cold night -- or for several days -- dogs and cats can’t just “tough it out.” -- Tyler in Southeast Texas DEAR TYLER: You’re absolutely right. Readers, emergency preparedness should always include your pets. I warn my East Coast readers each summer at the start of hurricane season to put together a grab-and-go emergency kit for their pet.

But every region experiences natural disasters, and sometimes they occur in the depths of winter.
