After months of anticipation, Friday, July 1, is finally the day: Frankie Martin's Garden (5372 St. Charles Street, Cottleville; 636-244-2420), a new food truck complex from the minds behind the wildly successful 9 Mile Garden, will open to the public, bringing a first-of-its-kind dining and entertainment complex to St. Charles County. The venue, which consists of a food truck area, a wine and whiskey house, pickleball and sand volleyball courts, a live music stage and an LED wall for viewing movies and sporting events, opens Friday on a sprawling 2 3/4 acre lot in the heart of downtown Cottleville. As managing partner Brian Hardesty explains, Frankie Martin's takes the idea of its sister property, 9 Mile Garden, as a jumping off point, building upon its success to create a concept that is unique to this part of the metro area.

I’m continuing my coverage of dangerous Internet bills in the California legislature. This job is especially challenging during an election year, when legislators rally behind the “protect the kids” mantra to pursue bills that are likely to hurt, or at least not help, kids. Today’s example is AB 2273, the Age-Appropriate Design Code Act (AADC), Before we get […]

GLEN CARBON - Recent Father McGivney graduate Darren Luchetti signed to play baseball at Fontbonne University on Tuesday, June 28. Ironically, he will get to stay a Griffin. It was a day that Darren, and his parents, had been waiting for for a long time. The two-sport athlete could've also played collegiate basketball if he went that route. He was a huge part in achieving a .500 record for Father McGivney this season and has been playing basketball since he was a kid. He even went out to a few collegiate basketball camps at Saint Louis University and Bethany College and had some colleges interested in signing him, but he shifted his focus to baseball instead. McGivney baseball head coach Chris Erwin actually persuaded Dareen into trying out for baseball his sophomore year. Darren mentioned that Erwin made him believe in himself and made him realize the baseball talent that he had. Darren jokingly said that he only came out because the team was good and it was just good to get

ALTON - Junior Logan "Bogie" Bogard is Alton High School's go-to catcher. He's consistently behind the plate for the Redbirds and during the summer he continues playing for the Alton Post 126 Sr. Legion team. The thing he's looking forward to most is stepping into a new leadership role for the Redbirds. "It'll be fun next year," he said. "I mean, hopefully, we can hit better and just do better." Bogard is the Auto Butler Male Athlete of the Month for Alton. Alton had a disappointing end to their season after going out to the eventual state champions in the Regional Semifinals back in May. Edwardsville beat Alton in that game 16-4, but Bogard feels like Alton gave it everything they had. "We did put up a good fight against Edwardsville in the regional," he said. The Redbirds will try to better a 7-23 record from this year and Logan will continue to be an instrumental part of the team going forward. "We should've won a lot more games than we did," Bogie said. He agreed that it's

Mike Parson on Wednesday signed legislation environmentalists fear will chip away at a year-old state law meant to encourage utilities to retire polluting coal plants.  One of the state’s largest utilities says the law is simply cleanup language.  Last year, Missouri and Kansas enacted laws allowing electric utilities to “securitize” aging coal plants […]

MADISON COUNTY - Chris Slusser recorded an overwhelming triumph in the Madison County Treasurer’s race over Doug Hulme in the Republican Primary. Slusser won with 14,794 votes compared to Hulme's 6,954 votes. Linda Andreas defeated Mike Walters in the Republican Primary for County Clerk by a narrow 10,329 to 10,154-vote margin with all 191 precincts counted. Slusser said he just wanted to thank the Republican voters in the primary who put their trust in him. “I think I have done a good job in the office and shown integrity and tried to do everything with excellence,” he added. “I was rewarded by confident Republican voters who soundly rejected an ugly campaign by the opponent.” Slusser credited his staff with their effort to make him shine on a daily basis to the public. “They are government employees who take a lot of pride in their work,” he said. “The taxpayers recognize what they have done. It is a good atmosphere and we have se
