A Central Illinois local branch of a statewide family group is filling the unique gaps in childcare by sharing critical resources with parents. Birth to Five Illinois helps families with children ages birth to 5 get equal treatment no matter their race, language or social economic background. Kari Clark is the council manager for Region 48, the Peoria County branch. She said the first five years of a child’s life are important because so much development happens during that time. “Ultimately, investing in services now when they’re young can save money overall," Clark said. Clark manages two dedicated staff members. They oversee an action council, comprised of community members and parent and early childhood representatives. It meets monthly to discuss early childhood gaps and needs. It determines local actions that can fill those gaps.

As Stelco reports soaring earnings, how solid is their layoff legal case?
U. S.-based Cleveland-Cliffs said on Monday that it saw its strongest quarterly financial results since the year before acquiring Stelco in 2024. This comes as Stelco continues to lay off hundreds of workers at its steel plant in Hamilton, Ont., while citing pressure from U. S. tariffs, a decision the federal government says breaches its binding agreement to maintain jobs. Cleveland-Cliffs said it saw net earnings of US$612 million in the third quarter, up from $286 million in the previous quarter. Cleveland-Cliffs CEO Lourenco Goncalves in the report said, “Third quarter was our strongest quarter in three years,” and added that the figure was higher than the $575 million guidance they provided three months earlier. On Tuesday, Industry Minister Mélanie Joly spoke outside the House of Commons. “We took good note of the earnings call that happened yesterday where the CEO of Stelco again mentioned that he was in favour of American tariffs against steelworkers in Canada and therefore we’ve hired the best lawyers to advise us on what to do next,” said Joly.
