On June 6, Missouri’s State Board of Education suspended the teaching license of a Hazelwood preschool teacher. It’s an action that school districts are increasingly seeking: Under a 2016 law, districts are empowered to file for financial penalties as high as $10,000, and to suspend a teacher’s license, if a teacher decides to break their contract. Mark Jones, the communications director of the Missouri National Education Association, says this policy is bad for both teachers and school districts.

ALTON - “If I’m walking, I’m golfing.” So is the motto of Rose Bensman, an Alton native who is celebrating her 100th birthday on Friday, June 23. Bensman started playing golf when she was 17. Her father bought her first set of golf clubs for $15 and arranged for her to take golfing lessons from Lou Miller at Rock Springs Golf Course; this was in the early 1940s. Eighty-three years later, Bensman has had two holes-in-one and is the only woman to be inducted into the Alton Golf Hall of Fame. “I love to golf. I will always love to golf. That’s been my game,” Bensman said. “It’s been the biggest part of my life.” Bensman plays golf at least three times a week.
