ALTON — Alton High School guard Kiyoko Proctor is making a very notable return to form after recovering from a knee injury that sidelined her at the beginning of the season. On Jan. 16, 2025, Proctor led her team to a significant victory over Edwardsville, contributing key plays, including critical three-point shots that helped secure the win. Proctor is an Auto Butler Female Athlete of the Month for the Redbirds. Proctor, who has committed to continue her basketball career at Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville, is now focused on leading the Redbirds as they approach the end of the regular season and postseason. Alton boasts a nearly perfect record of 20-1 and remains undefeated in conference play at 7-0. “I have worked hard to be where I used to be,” Proctor said. “It was hard to be on the bench with the injury, but I was still there and still trying to lead the team and still being captain.” Despite her absence from the court earlier in th

It can cause panic for parents, but it doesn’t have to. Emily Isom is talking about head lice, something she sees often as a mother and a certified medical assistant in pediatrics at OSF HealthCare. The good news for parents: in most cases, your child doesn’t have to miss school and can be treated with over-the-counter remedies. Lice basics Isom says lice (the singular form is louse) are tiny insects that sit on your scalp. They typically spread when you share objects like a comb or hat or when you have head-to-head contact with someone. Itchiness is the primary symptom, and the infestation usually lasts seven to 10 days. “If someone ignores it, it can lead to infections and open sores,” Isom warns. “The insects are going to keep biting the same spot, and the person is going to keep scratching the spot.” The lice can also lay eggs and multiply, Isom says. Isom suggests parents and teachers be vigilant about lice. Check your child when they
