With children back in school, that means parents are grappling with getting their children on a regular sleep routine. But for parents with children who have been diagnosed with ADHD, that’s no small task. As many as 70% of children with ADHD experience problems with sleep. The issues include bedtime anxiety or resistance, insomnia and delayed sleep – meaning their sleep cycle has shifted and they aren’t tired at bedtime. Kristin Mock, MD, is a family practice physician at OSF HealthCare who specializes in ADHD and pediatric sleep issues. She sees patients whose behaviors are often linked to ADHD; but they could also be a result of a lack of sleep. Unlike adults who have excessive sleepiness and fatigue, Dr. Mock says children with ADHD tend to have more behavioral issues such as acting out or temper tantrums. They have difficulties with behavior and focus and concentration, and they tend to get fidgety. So that begs the question – is the issue ADHD or a slee

CASEYVILLE — Jacob A. Brewer, 39, of Freeburg, has been taken into custody following a confrontation with Caseyville police officers that occurred on Aug. 30, 2025, at a residence on Spicer Drive, according to the Caseyville Police Department. Officers were initially responding to an unrelated incident at the Spicer Drive location on Aug. 29, 2025, when Brewer fled on foot. At that time, his identity was unknown to the officers. A subsequent investigation revealed Brewer had multiple outstanding warrants, including charges of burglary, unlawful possession of a stolen motor vehicle, and obstructing justice. The following day, officers returned to the residence after receiving information that Brewer was staying in a shed behind the home, police said.

ALTON – Two Alton residents face felony charges in separate cases of home invasion and domestic battery. Phillip M. Schuyler, 39, of Alton, was charged on Sept. 12, 2025 with one count each of home invasion (a Class X felony) and domestic battery (a Class A misdemeanor). Schuyler allegedly entered the victim’s Alton residence without legal authority, knowing the victim was present, and intentionally caused injury to the home’s occupant. He reportedly struck the victim in the head, causing a laceration. According to the state’ petition to deny Schuyler’s pretrial release from custody, the victim reported that Schuyler forced his way into their residence and started destroying their property before striking the victim repeatedly. Officers observed property damage within the residence and injuries to the victim’s head which were “consistent with being struck.” The petition adds Schuyler was out on pretrial release from a prior felony

WOOD RIVER – The City of Wood River is applying for state funding to build a splash pad in Central Park. At Monday’s City Council meeting, Parks and Recreation Director Pat Minogue announced his current proposal for a $750,000 splash pad between the Rec Center and Round House, which he feels is an ideal location. “We feel like that’s the best spot, just because of the current existing infrastructure for the drainage … also the proximity to restrooms in the Rec Center and also in the Round House,” Minogue said. He added that the finished product would likely offer something new and different to surrounding communities, attracting residents and visitors alike. “It’s going to be a little bit of a different design than the one we proposed last year,” Minogue said. “This one, it’s called a HydraHub and it’s almost like a massive playground in the middle of the splash pad. “I’ve never really seen anythin
