Evans and Horton are two of 15 students in the country to receive the scholarship. Evans and Horton are pursuing a master’s in healthcare informatics at SIUE.

Gut-Friendly Yogurt and oatmeal are my go-to breakfast choices. Most often, I adorn the creamy mixture with a handful of blueberries, a few banana slices, and chopped, frozen cherries. (The cherries are supposedly good for arthritis.) When I’m feeling particularly virtuous, I add a handful of sliced almonds and a dab of local, raw honey....

ALTON - After going to public school all her life, senior Payton Patterson didn't know what to expect coming into Marquette Catholic High School. "I came into Marquette going to a public school and I didn't know anybody coming into a private school," she said. "It didn't take me long to have friends, and when I came in here I met some of my best friends." It helped that she decided to go out for three sports during her freshman year. That's a sure way to make some new friends. She went out for volleyball which she played her freshman and sophomore years, basketball which is what she'll continue to play at Lewis and Clark Community College, and soccer which she has played all three years up to this point. Basketball being her preferred sport, she always knew she wanted to try and continue playing it. "I wanted to play basketball in college for so long. I finally worked toward a scholarship and got one," she said. Patterson is a Tucker's Automotive Repair & Tire Female Athlete of

MILLSTADT, IL. - State Representative Kevin Schmidt (R-Millstadt) has sent a letter to Governor Pritzker asking him to keep his word about the grant funds he promised to send to Cahokia Heights to address the community’s water and sewer issues. During the recent gubernatorial campaign, Gov. JB Pritzker promised at a stop in Cahokia Heights in August that grant funds would be “delivered today” to Cahokia Heights to address water and sewer issues. It is now January of 2023, and the Governor has yet to deliver on the election year promise. “The situation in Cahokia Heights is getting worse every day. Whenever it rains, the community has to deal with sewer smell and possible water contamination,” Schmidt said. “Addressing these issues cannot wait. The Governor promised to send the money right away, but the funds still have not been released. The people of Cahokia Heights thought they were well on their way to getting the help they needed. Was this ye

CHICAGO - Attorney General Kwame Raoul led a coalition of 15 attorneys general supporting New York’s concealed carry regulations by asking the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit to reverse a lower court decision that preliminarily enjoined certain aspects of New York’s Concealed Carry Improvement Act (CCIA). In an amicus brief , Raoul and the coalition argue that the lower court’s decision was wrong because the enjoined provisions of the CCIA are consistent with Supreme Court precedent and with a long tradition of states enacting similar regulations to meet their responsibility to protect residents from the harmful effects of gun violence. “The lower court’s decision suspending commonsense measures within New York law to protect the safety of its residents from the devastating effects of gun violence must be reversed,” Raoul said. “I am honored to continue the work with my fellow attorneys general to ensure states like New York can
