POLISHING THE DIAMOND author Nick Straatmann will sign bookson September 18 from 1pm-3pm at Main Street Books.
POLISHING THE DIAMOND takes an informed look behind the curtain at what is going on in Major League Baseball and offers up some ideas on how to fix the problems. Tom Dill, from the Missourian, offers his review of the book, “…appropriately describes the great game of baseball but also looks candidly at the problems that have developed within the game over the past couple of decades. Whether it is exorbitant salaries, performance-enhancing drugs, wild card playoffs, and revenue sharing or salary caps, Straatmann chronicles a host of problems all of which have been ignored or glossed over by the team owners, the commissioner of baseball and/or the players’ association. And who’s to suffer if solutions are not found to these issues? The fans, of course, and they might not even be aware of the consequences. I would highly recommend this book to all readers who are interested in the future of baseball.”
Main Street Books is located across from the Visitor's Center in historic St. Charles, MO at 307 S Main St, St Charles, MO, 63301. Phone is at (636) 949-0105

Some bar and restaurant owners on St. Charles' Main Street were upset when police told them on Aug. 21, during that weekend's Festival of the Little Hills, to stop serving customers on the street and to not allow their customers to take alcohol off the business premises.
The city's open container ordinance normally prohibits those practices, but Tony Beckman, owner of Tony's on Main, said he and other business owners were told an ordinance passed for special events allowed them to sell alcohol on the streets. They have been doing so since April at events such as Music on Main, he said.

While summer is enjoyable, the fall offers a colorful experience. It is easy to let the few weeks, painted with so much beauty, slip away without taking advantage of it. Within the St. Charles County area there are a few options for fantastic fall foliage viewing. Take the family out for an afternoon and enjoy what this area has to offer. Or, if you would rather, plan a romantic afternoon for just the two of you.
- A leisurely drive down South Highway 94 from Highway 40 will introduce you to a beautiful part of St. Charles County along with several local wineries.
- Taking some time to drive through the August A. Busch Memorial Conservation Park and the surrounding areas, for viewing a beautiful area painted in color.
- If you are not interested in a drive but would like to enjoy walking along trails surrounded by various trees filled with color, the St. Peters Park System will offer such an experience.

Mark Templeton, the embattled and then marginalized leader of the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, is leaving state government for a role in the gulf oil spill response effort.
Templeton joined the department in 2009 when Gov. Jay Nixon took office. But he was suspended later that year in the fallout from pollution problems at the Lake of the Ozarks.
