• Bourbon board discusses incentive, pay raise for officers (threeriverspublishing.com) — Bourbon’s Board of Aldermen is weighing how to better recruit and retain police officers, debating whether take-home patrol cars or higher wages would be the smarter incentive. Members compared Bourbon’s low salaries to nearby towns like Sullivan and Cuba, and ultimately leaned toward exploring pay raises. The board also voted to seek a community development block grant and set its next meeting for June 16 at City Hall. 
• Wildcats earn baseball All-District honors (threeriverspublishing.com) — Cuba High School’s baseball team just wrapped a standout season, with three Wildcats earning All-District honors and four named All-Conference. Their run included a 10-0 district win over Bourbon on May 14 and a dominant no-hitter against Steelville. The article also corrects an earlier report about when Cuba last won a district game.
