President’s MessageA persistent critic of the regional Emmy awards would

always tell me how meaningless they were because entries were only being judged by “six people eating pizza.” It’s actually a pretty accurate description of something that might also be called “a panel of professional peers taking time out of their busy day.” Over the years, this peer judging process has worked consistently well when done right (quali-fi ed judges from different stations, no discussion or collusion).Still, there are always surprises, and there is always roomfor improvement. This past year, our Awards Committee held meetings with members in St. Louis, Kansas City and Carbondale, Illinois. These discussions led to some category changes and clarifi cations, and we want to have more of these discussions in more cities this coming year. It took awhile, but this chapter is looking and acting like a regional organization. Although we dropped “St. Louis” from the chapter name a few years ago, we have only recently had a truly regional board with active members and offi cers from markets throughout Missouri, Arkansas and southern Illinois. There is greater input, more voices, and more ideas about making this organiza-tion more than just the Emmy Awards. Congratulations to all of tonight’s nominees. And thanks to all who have helped make regional awards possible all over the country by judging. The pizza’s on us.

Jeff Benscoter Jeff Benscoter is currently News Director at KY3 TV, the NBC affiliate in Springfield, Missouri. He has held that position for the past seven years.

Presenters (continued) Jeff says his most memorable news coverage events include the 2003 Ozarks tornado outbreak in which two separate twisters leveled several southwestern Missouri towns. KY3 was on the air continuously for hours, and spent months following up on the damage, personal stories of loss, and investigating who was getting FEMA relief and who was not receiving the funds. This year’s most memorable event was a massive ice storm which left more than 100,000 people without power for up to two weeks in freezing temperatures. KY3 fought through tremendous weather-related technical issues to provide days of continuous coverage which helped victims find shelter, food, and fuel. The task was extremely tough since the majority of the news staff was still at work even though they and their families were also without electricity. As a member of the Junior League of Springfield Advisory Board, he and KY3 provided key coverage and support for a local crisis nursery, an ambitious project aimed at helping cut one of the areas biggest problems, child abuse.

2007 Gold Circle Inductee

Ray Hoff stetter Ray Hoff stetter began working

at what was known as KSD-TV in

1948, just a year after the station

went into operation. A stagehand

then, Ray recalls the heydays of

television when all shows and

commercials were live. He worked

on shows such as Charlotte Peters,

Laclede Little Symphony, Corky the

Clown and Home Making with Wilma

Sims.

As live shows became a thing of

the past, Ray transferred to the then

expanding news department where

he worked fi rst as a soundman and

then a cameraman, covering local

news and traveling to record major

world events on fi lm, including the

return of the USS Pueblo crew in San

Diego. A local story that stands out in Ray’s memory is the nudist convention he and John Auble

covered in St. Louis County.

Ray worked as video cameraman and editor from 1976 until he retired in 1992. During that

time he also covered special events and promotions. He covered stories while in a WWII B-17 from

Minneapolis to St. Louis and on the ground in Operation Desert Shield with Dick Ford in 1990. The

career highlight of this former Navy man who served in both WWII and the Korean War, occurred in

1991. Ray was part of the fi nal voyage of the battleship USS Missouri. He sailed on it to Hawaii while

covering the 50th Anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor.

He offi cially retired from KSDK in 1992, but Ray continues to work, part time, along with his

friend Bob Garger, in the KSDK archives, sorting, cataloguing and creating a comprehensive fi lm

library. A member of the St. Louis Civil War Round Table for 45 years, Ray is also an OASIS tutor,

and a volunteer at the Sappington Historic House and Museum. He and his wife Muriel have been

married for 57 wonderful years.

A recent memorable moment in Russell’s career was in the fall of 2004 when he fl ew over Cuba and through Hurricane Ivan, onboard a military plane. Russell came back from his bumpy, dangerous fl ight with a 2-part report that aired onNews 4, telling the inside story on the eff ort to measure and track dangerous hurricanes. Russell has strong Midwestern roots, coming to KMOV with more than 10 years experience at CBS-affi liate KCTV in Kansas City. He was most recently a co-anchor of KCTV’s 5, 6 and 10 p.m. newscasts. Previously, Russell worked as a morning anchor at KJRH-TV in Tulsa, Okla.; as an evening news anchor at KPLC-TV in Lake Charles, La.; and as a weekend news anchor/reporter in Lawton, Okla. Russell participated in projects for Ronald McDonald House, CASA and Variety and over the years has been a regular

volunteer for the United Way and organizations that work to prevent child abuse. Russell and his wife Melinda are the proud parents of two, a daughter and a son- who are big St. Louis Cardinal baseball fans. The Kinsauls reside in West St. Louis County.

Ruth Ezell Ruth Ezell joined St. Louis’ KETC Channel 9 in 2003 as a producer for the Emmy Award-winning feature magazine show Living St. Louis.

Bob Garger News Writer Bob Garger’s fi rst

job after graduating from SLU was

with UPI, covering Gussie Busch’s

purchase of the Cardinals and the local

conviction of an IRS offi cial. KSD-

Radio-TV was next on his resume. He

joined their staff in 1954 and was the

fi rst reporter on the scene of the 1957

evacuation of the Frisco RR building,

as well as the disastrous 1959 tornado

that killed 21 in St. Louis.

In the early 1960’s, when the news

operations were still exclusively male,

Bob wrote the 15-minute newscasts

that aired on television at 5PM, 6PM

and the 10-minute cast at 10PM. Those

were the days when the national

stories came by way of Parcel Post

from either NY, LA or Chicago. Life was

a little slower. Bob fondly recalls the stories that ignited passion and pride in St. Louisans –those

momentous events like the Cardinals winning the championship and the day the completed ARCH

majestically graced the banks of the Mississippi.

In addition to news writing, Bob also produced series and documentaries for KSDK, working on

civil rights stories, labor management and other specials. His career at KSDK spanned 39 years, until

he retired in 1993. It wasn’t long before he was back at KSDK, working part time as a fi lm archivist

in the KSDK library. He and Ray Hoff stetter are in the process of converting 90 MILES of fi lm to tape

in the interest of historical preservation. Everyone who has had the pleasure to know and work

with Bob and Ray agree these two gentlemen have raised the professional standard in the media

industry. Their dedication truly knows no bounds.

When not working, Bob enjoys playing tennis,

walking, creating historical compilations of the Best

of the St. Louis series, and serving as an OASIS

volunteer. Bob and his wife Marcella just

celebrated their 51st wedding anniversary.


2007 Gold Circle Inductees

Walt Bodine With more than 50 years in the

media, Walt Bodine’s background

includes staff announcer, program

scriptwriter, television reporter, news

anchor and news director and stints

as news reporter and news director

for WDAF TV and radio.

As host of the WHB radio show,

“Night Beat,” Walt helped pioneer

the live, call-in radio show format

in Kansas City. He is aff ectionately

University of Missouri-Kansas City

and has written several books. He has claimed to have “two of the most well-worn ears in this

metropolitan area.” “I listen to more people in a day than a Menninger psychiatrist, “ he said.

For his work, Walt has received numerous awards including the Kansas City Spirit Award in

1987, recognizing him as the “voice of the people” and “our community conscience.” More recently

Bodine was the recipient of the Bishop John J. Sullivan Award for Communications.

In total, Walt has worked at seven radio stations and four television stations in the Kansas City

market- not counting his fi rst inauspicious reporting job at a Sedalia MO station where he earned

$12.50 a week. Never a big sports fan, Walt was fi red at the end of two weeks because he didn’t

know (and didn’t care to know) the diff erence between the National and American League. He

confesses that 60 odd years later, he still doesn’t know!
