Some Bunny Bread moves aimed from Anna to Sikeston
Bunny Bread plans shifts after buying Interstate Brands bakery in Sikeston Missouri. Anna plant may lose 15 to 90 percent of its 150 workers over three years as operations move south due to Missouri business conditions and Illinois taxes. Some jobs already shifted, with possible full closure remaining on the table. Hart's Bread stores in Murphysboro and Marion closed after the purchase.

Black cheerleader spot denied by Carbondale board
Carbondale Community High School District 165 denied a request to create a dedicated black cheerleader position after NAACP leader Richard Hayes urged action.

Hayes and supporters called the outcome unacceptable and urged minority participation in activities. Board members defended the process and rejected preferential treatment or altering standards.
