Perfect cozy burger experience

By Bill Roseberry Big Z Media

I visited a staple restaurant in this community in western Madison County for my latest food adventure.

This place began existence in the 1950s, earned its current epithet in the 70s and enjoyed a renovation in the 80s. Through all that, it’s had the love and support of its community and I know I’ve never had a bad experience here.

Highlighted with the oldschool touch of carhop services, you’ll notice the awning across the front of the building to drive under when you first arrive. The name of the restaurant is prominently displayed on a sign next to the street.

If you’d rather eat inside, park in the lot that wraps around the establishment and enter through either a door in front, or on the right of the building. Once you enter there is a diner counter all across the front of the interior. There are a few stools to sit there if desired.

A fountain soda machine is behind the busy counter where your server will take care of you. The door leading to the kitchen is also behind the counter.

To the left is a larger dining area with black tables

situated throughout featuring black chairs. It also features a wood laminate floor and there are windows all around to keep it bright and bustling inside. Gander at the walls to see some nostalgic pictures hanging up. There is also a cool burger challenge here and a ton of photos of the participants adorn the far wall, featuring their fat, happy and triumphant faces.

Burgers are the crowning cuisine here and of course that was the star of my meal. I stopped by for a solo lunch, ordered at the counter and took a seat at one of the small tables.

My full order included a bacon cheeseburger, fried cauliflower with cheese and a large root beer. When it is picked up at the counter through your order number it is displayed in a red plastic tray, their simple and classic delivery method for years.

We’ll start with the root beer, it is homemade here and never disappoints. It has such a sweet and fresh taste to it. It’s a perfect companion for the tasty burgers and sensational sides.

The cauliflower is a favorite of mine, housed in its golden brown cocoon. It has such a fantastic flavor and the cauliflower itself is tantalizingly tender. Saddled with a cup of cheddar cheese

on my recent visit, I usually go with ranch, but wanted to change it up and it was well worth it. The creaminess of the cheese added to the experience and popped with sweetness. Finally focusing on the burger, it normally comes with lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise, but I held the lettuce and mayo on my visit. It doesn’t need much help, because the remarkable charbroil taste is plenty to drive it. Hopped up with the hearty, salty bacon and a slice of American cheese, the slice of tomato and a little ketchup to boot, it made for the perfect cozy burger experience. They are always perfectly cooked whenever I visit.

The rest of the menu includes a slew of burger options, highlighted by a chili burger and a pizza burger and other sandwich choices like a pork tenderloin, barbecue pork, a cod filet, or even hot dog

options. Sides like barbecue nachos, fried mushrooms, onion rings, cheese sticks and mini tacos are great, too. You can’t ignore the famous potato planks either, with all kinds of add ons to gussy them up.

Other specialties like tamales, shrimp and chili are available and for dessert treat yourself to some delicious ice cream. 3

L&C hosts 15th Trebuchet competition

The annual Trebuchet competition returned to the George C. Terry River Bend Arena at Lewis and Clark Community College on April 8 for its 15th year.

“We were very excited to hold the annual Trebuchet contest once again, after a two-year COVID-19 hiatus,” Mathematics Professor Kevin Bodden said. “It was great to see kids enjoying a STEM experience and learning more about what L&C has to offer through our programs.”

Out of a field of 10 teams, Team AVC from Bunker Hill High School won the contest, with Team Rassputin from Edwardsville High School placing first in

the reporting competition.

Bunker Hill teacher and Trebuchet team advisor Jeremiah Goltz, who brought two teams to the competition, said he and his students look forward to the contest every year.

“When our students were able to get a consistent shot forward, they began to get really excited,” he said. “We went into the contest just hoping to compete and make it a fun day, but one win after another, they started to sense that they could win the contest.”

Rounding out the placement field was Team Y=MX+Babes, from

Edwardsville High School, finishing in second place in both the trebuchet and reporting competitions.

Team Ball of Duty from East Alton-Wood River High School finished third in trebuchet.

Students got to witness the work of L&C’s Robotics Engineering Club with Garrett IV, their remotecontrolled robot. And staff from WLCA 89.9-FM, L&C’s student-run radio station, kept the crowd entertained. To learn more about L&C’s Robotics Engineering Club, contact Christopher Reese at 618-468-4836 or ccreese@ lc.edu. 3

From childhood entrepreneur to successful businessman

By Mike Adams Big Z Media

It was 1993. The Mississippi River had reached a record flood stage, the Alton water pumping station flooded and shut down, and drinking water distribution lines were forming around the area. It was a long hot summer.

If you drove past Campbell’s Pharmacy during that period you may have seen a young boy selling snow cones there at the corner of East Broadway and Market.

That young man was Brian Campbell and that summer launched an entrepreneurial spirit that has served him well throughout his life.

Campbell is a lifelong resident of the Riverbend.

Born and raised in Godfrey and currently lives in Alton with his family. He graduated from Marquette High School in Alton, attended two years at SIU Carbondale, and continued his education at SIE Edwardsville, earning a

BIRTH

degree in economics.

Brian’s business career started by working as a teller at Liberty Bank. Over the next four years, he worked his way up the ladder to the loan department where he learned much about finance. During this time he also began flipping houses for additional income. The money he accumulated during his time flipping houses he saved enough money to give him the equity to buy into Nautilus Fitness Center in Alton, partnering with then owner, Vern Vanhoy Vanhoy became one of his mentors in business and eventually partnered with Campbell and local banker Tom Long to open a small chain of Little Caesars Pizza locations. That business ultimately grew to 6 locations.

Vanhoy also was the owner of Colman’s Country Campers and offered Campbell a position to work alongside him in the local

RV business. Brian found his niche in business at Colman’s.

The business continued to grow and eventually, he partnered with friend Matt Diamond to purchase the company in early 2019. The first few months of ownership were a great experience and then the unexpected happened.

In March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic threw small businesses all over the nation to into a crippling season. This would truly be a test of Brian and Matt’s ability as business owners to weather the storm in a very difficult financial season. For the next few months, business plummeted.

But surprisingly, the tide turned. As more people began to work remotely and children went to online learning, many families realized that this gave them the opportunity to

spend quality time together camping. Sales began to rise, and despite the challenges of inventory and supply challenges in the industry, Colman’s ended the year strong with a 70 percent increase over the previous year.

In 2020, the business

partners made a decision to begin looking at nearby properties to expand the business by increasing camper storage space.

While looking at a property along Route 3 in Hartford, Diamond, whose family ran campgrounds in the past, suggested they look into purchasing the property to establish a campground. While it may seem like an unlikely location to many, their business plan would be to target transient workers from Phillips 66 Refinery who come to the area for extended periods of time from all around the country. After a meeting with Melissa Erker, director of government and community relations for the Wood River refinery, the wheels were in motion and 5 Diamond Campground was established. The campground features 49 campsites, with hook-ups,

wi-fi, and year-round access. Campbell has found a great deal of joy and satisfaction as an entrepreneur, and his advice to those seeking to get into a business is to surround themselves with good mentors. Find an experienced business person who is willing to share their expertise, develop solid relationships with a local banker, and a good accountant who will be able to advise you on things to take advantage of and pitfalls to avoid. But most importantly, find something you truly enjoy!

As the saying goes, “If you love what you do you will never work a day in your life.” While that may be true for Campbell, work, dedication and a strong commitment to the community have been keys to enjoying many years of success and anticipation of many more to come. 3

Focus on the debt first, then save and invest

DEAR DAVE: My husband and I have paid off all our credit card debt, and we are following your Baby Steps plan. We still owe about $40,000 on two cars, and our combined income is around $150,000. Since we have a good income, we were thinking about finishing our emergency fund and contributing to our IRAs while we finish off the car payments. Under the circumstances, is this okay? -- Paola

DEAR PAOLA: I understand the temptation you guys are facing. But there’s a power in behavior modification on a short-term basis that supersedes the power of mathematics. Stick to the plan, and pay off the cars first.

When you’re still on Baby Step 2, you need to stop all saving and investing, and attack your debts with a vengeance. You’ve got a lot of money wrapped up in cars, and even with all the great work you two have done I know it’s probably

still a little hard to see light at the end of the tunnel.

Debts that large can be intimidating.

But I’m afraid you’ll lose focus and intensity when it comes to getting out of debt if you worry about your emergency fund and setting aside for retirement too soon. I’ve seen that happen to lots of people, and when it does it can end up taking several years to get rid of all that debt.

You guys have made great progress, and you’re making good money. If you stay gazelle-intense about getting out of debt, those car payments can be history in about a year and a half. 3
