The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) makes clear that energy drinks are “fundamentally different” than sports drinks like Gatorade or Powerade. But scrolling through social media or strolling through the grocery store aisle, and the lines start to blur a bit. When quarterback Justin Fields was a rookie, he inked an endorsement deal with C4 – an energy drink brand. More recently, CELSIUS signed six Heisman Trophy “hopefuls” to NIL (name, image and likeness) deals. The company’s slogan is “live fit,” a motto many athletes can relate to. Karan Rai, MD, is a sports medicine physician with OSF HealthCare who works in partnership with Illinois State University to see and treat ISU athletes. He says he’s having a lot of conversations with athletes about these types of drinks, and he always urges caution.

SPRINGFIELD - As hunters across Illinois prepare for the upcoming firearm deer season, the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) urges them to use safety harnesses when hunting from tree stands in the field. Tree stands are the No. 1 source of hunting-related accidents and fatalities in Illinois. The 2024 firearm deer season dates are Nov. 22-24 and Dec. 5-8. “Our top priority is ensuring hunters return home safe and unharmed after every hunt,” said Jed Whitchurch, director of IDNR’s Office of Law Enforcement. “We want hunters to enjoy themselves and be successful in the field, but safety must be top of mind at all times.” So far during the fall 2024 hunting season, which includes archery deer season, Illinois Conservation Police have documented one hunting-related fatality. On Nov. 10, a man hunting in Wayne County fell from a tree stand after apparently nodding off in the stand. He was not wearing a safety harness. The man was air-lifted

LOUIS — In 2024, climate crisis mounted an overwhelming toll on people in Missouri and the U.S., who relied on the American Red Cross for relief and care as they faced the country’s second-highest number of billion-dollar disasters ever recorded.

To help, over 2,800 Red Cross volunteers from Missouri and Arkansas have been part of teams responding nonstop to provide shelter, food and other assistance to tens of thousands of people reeling from this year’s hurricanes, storms, floods and wildfires — all while continuing to care for families still recovering from 2023’s extreme disasters. “First-hand, I’ve seen the devastation that disasters have caused families this year — and the climate crisis shows no signs of slowing down,” said Barry Falke, Chief Executive
