Julianne Brunet says public libraries are always working to reinvent themselves. Welland Public Library , which started as a mechanic’s institute in 1824 in a schoolhouse that no longer exists, is no different, Brunet, its chief executive officer, said ahead of its 200th anniversary celebration Wednesday. The library existed before Welland, which was first incorporated as a village in 1858, more than 30 years after the library was created. “What I have seen since I have been here is what has defined the library for the last 200 years. It’s a real community spirit. We’re community-led and we want to make sure we are responsive to the needs of residents. I think that has gotten us to where we are and will get us to where we want to go.” Brunet started at the library as manager of public services and became CEO in 2019, overseeing the main library at Welland Civic Square and branches at Seaway Mall and Diamond Trail on Southworth Street. “We need to make sure that we remain relevant. To do that, we have to listen to the people we serve. What was relevant 200 years ago may be relevant in some form today, but we must continue to grow and evolve and ensure we continue to meet those needs,” she said. As of last year, Welland’s three branches have more than 106,000 books in circulation, 3,433 special collection items in print and 3,918 digital items. That’s not counting CDs/DVDs, ebooks and e-audiobooks, print magazines, newspapers and electronic titles. Brunet said many people think literacy is just about reading and writing, but it’s more than that. “Literacy is more about showing people what they can do and how they can do it. The library will always serve a need in that realm.” Literacy also includes music, with the library lending instruments for people to play and practise. It teaches digital literacy, lending tech and offering people use of the internet who might not otherwise have access to it so they can participate in civic life. Board chair Lindsay Bryan said the library’s function is literacy of all kinds, not just serving the reading public. “Being among other people is a function of a modern library as well,” she said, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic with people still feeling a sense of loneliness and social alienation. Brunet said Welland Public Library serves as a community hub. “We are a place where people can connect with different ideas, different trains of thought. It’s an area of open ideas and a place for debate. We have been a pillar in the community for the last 200 years.” Welland Public Library’s main branch is at 50 The Boardwalk. The library celebrates its 200th anniversary Wednesday. And it’s being used more than ever. “We are on track to exceed our pre-pandemic numbers this year.” Online visits to the library catalogue and website are up 153 per cent compared to 2019; Wi-Fi and use of public access terminals are up 91 per cent; electronic circulation is up 926 per cent and program attendances up 172 per cent. While in-person visits are down 2.82 per cent to date, the library expects that number will increase by the end of the year. In 2019, there were 146,407 visits across the three branches. So far this year, there have been 142,277 visits. “We are getting busier and busier across all demographics, ages and all walks of life.” College and university students and seniors flock to the Seaway Mall branch, while students, parents and families use the branch inside Diamond Trail Public School. “We have three study rooms that people can use on a first come first serve basis and two larger rooms we rent out.” With Welland growing, its population is expected to reach 80,000 by 2041, Brunet and Bryan were recently before city council to ask for $120,000 in municipal funding for a nearly $400,000 bookmobile for 2026. The library will fund $278,000 from reserves and development charge revenue for the vehicle, while the city’s funding would pay for a full-time co-ordinator and part-time programmer to operate it. The vehicle would bring books, audiovisual materials, instruments, programming and services to places such as parks, schools, retirement residences and community events. “There are underserved areas of Welland, and as the city develops we’re going to learn more about where those areas are. We’ll see where the needs are within the community,” Brunet said. Original location was in a choolhouse near Brown’s Bridge - 1824 A room over McCaw’s Shoe Store on East Main Street - 1896 Town Hall, King Street - 1901 Carnegie Building, King Street - 1923 Northwest Branch on South Pelham Road -1972 Main Branch - 2005, Diamond Trail Branch - 2013 Seaway Mall Branch - 2017 A bookmobile would allow the library to reach vulnerable sectors and individuals who may not have the means to get to any library branches. With the library running lean — it has had 35 employees over the three branches for several years — Brunet said the two new hires would be needed to operate the vehicle and programming. Brunet said Wednesday’s 200th anniversary celebrations start at 2 p.m. and go until 7 p.m. There will be food, toys and games for children, and speeches from all levels of government starting at 3 p.m. She said library staff having been planning the event for the past two years and through research determined the first local library opened on Nov. 27, 1824. “We’ve survived two world wars, two global pandemics, several iterations of the Welland Canal, the rise of the internet and we’re still here. “We have been relevant in every single decade we have operated and I have no doubt that will continue,” said Brunet.

Wander through the gently curving path between two 28,110-gallon tanks in the Shedd Aquarium’s redesigned rotunda space, and the calming green hues of a freshwater ecosystem greet you on one side, while the electric blues, pinks and oranges of saltwater life form a vibrant palette just opposite. Together, the two habitats make up Wonder of Water, a new exhibit that opens Tuesday and represents the latest phase of an ongoing renovation leading up to the aquarium’s centennial in 2030. Returning visitors may recall the previous iteration of this space: a Caribbean-inspired reef that opened in 1971 and featured tropical fish, stingrays and sharks. Before that, the rotunda housed a rock garden and sunken tropical pool filled with native fish, turtles and frogs. Now, through Wonder of Water, the Shedd aims to provide a place for guests to pause and reflect on Earth’s biodiversity, while piquing their curiosity about the other animal and plant life to be explored at the aquarium. Unlike the former Caribbean exhibit, which used sculpted corals, the new saltwater habitat is home to living corals that the Shedd has acquired and cultivated over the past several years, along with over 1,500 fish.

(Tess Crowley/Chicago Tribune) “The corals in here act as an absolute ecosystem, so not only are they part of the beauty of this exhibit, (but) an integral part of the life support system as well,” said Keoki Burton, director of animal care and sustainability at the Shedd. Fans of “Finding Nemo” will easily spot the clown fish and anemones, but Burton pointed out that these aren’t the only symbiotic relationships that can be observed in the saltwater habitat. Several shrimp have established “cleaning stations” among the corals and rocks, where they perch and groom fish swimming by. Many of the fish are already displaying nesting and mating behaviors, too. These are examples of “the natural behaviors that we are able to elicit from these animals, because we’re providing them with such a dynamic ecosystem,” Burton said. In the freshwater habitat, more than 5,000 fish live among 50 species of plants, most of which are native to southeast Asia and have been cultivated by the Shedd for the past year and a half. Some of the plants have already grown from tiny leaflets into seven-foot stalks that are beginning to flower, and they are kept healthy and lush with a CO2 injection system and other advanced technologies that optimize the water flow, chemistry, filtration and lighting. Visitors can use periscopes to zoom in on details of both habitats and explore tactile models of the species represented in the exhibit. ADA-accessible seating will also provide a spot to relax and take in the maritime motifs in the rotunda’s ornate architecture. “There are moments when people want to lean in, they want to be more activated, and there are moments when people want to lean back and let the experience wash over them a bit more,” said Sarah Hezel, vice president of design and exhibits. “We tried to strike that balance here, so if you want to just be in this space and have it be a respite, you get that, and if you want to drill in and observe some of those incredible behaviors, that’s there, too.” In addition to the rotunda, several other spaces at the Shedd have been refreshed. The Amazon Rising gallery reopened in October after a renovation that added nearly 30,000 gallons in volume to its habitats — an expansion necessary to accommodate animals that continue to grow, such as an 11-foot anaconda and the arapaima, a South American fish that can reach up to 10 feet in length. Amazon Rising now features signage in English and Spanish — a change that will eventually be made throughout the aquarium — and new interactive activities such as a thermal imaging display that mimics how an anaconda senses its environment. The renovation also allows more sunlight to stream in through skylights, which not only helps visitors observe more details but also encourages natural behaviors from the animals. Tactile models are new in the Amazon Rising exhibit at the Shedd Aquarium on Dec. 6, 2024. (Tess Crowley/Chicago Tribune) In November, the Shedd unveiled its redesigned entryway, which offers improved accessibility, streamlined arrival procedures and more options for guests to choose their own route through the aquarium. The star of this upgraded space is a new art installation titled “The Once and Forever Lake Michigan,” designed by artist David Franklin in partnership with Kohler. The hanging sculpture features 1,600 individual fish representing Lake Michigan species, each carved from wood, molded and cast in vitreous china. The result is an elegant school of porcelain fish that shimmers in a blend of natural light and soft blue-green accents.

(Tess Crowley/Chicago Tribune) Future upgrades slated to open in 2026 include expanded learning facilities; a redesign of the historic Great Hall; and reimagined exhibits about ecosystems in lakes, rivers and oceans. In the Changing Oceans gallery, visitors will learn about the impacts of global warming and ocean acidification, see the recreation of a California kelp forest and get a diver’s view of a coral reef in a new walk-through tunnel. Hezel assures anyone who misses the Caribbean reef animals from the old rotunda display that they will be able to see their favorites again in this much bigger space. These renovations represent one part of the Shedd’s centennial strategic plan, which also includes commitments to deepen community partnerships, expand experiential programs and digital engagement, and pursue advancements in animal care and aquatic research. Although the new Wonder of Water exhibit is just one phase of this years-long project, its location in the rotunda has special significance, Hezel said. “When people come in the new entrance, it’s their first animal experience. Because of the orientation of all the other galleries, all roads lead back here, so in many ways, this is the heart of Shedd Aquarium.” Emily McClanathan is a freelance writer.

Meanwhile, streams of refugees crossed back into Syria from neighboring countries, hoping for a more peaceful future and looking for relatives who disappeared during Assad's brutal rule. There were already signs of the difficulties ahead for the rebel alliance now in control of much of the country. The alliance is led by a former senior al-Qaida militant who severed ties with the extremist group years ago and has promised representative government and religious tolerance. The rebel command said Monday they would not tell women how to dress. “It is strictly forbidden to interfere with women’s dress or impose any request related to their clothing or appearance, including requests for modesty,” the command said in a statement on social media. Nearly two days after rebels entered the capital, some key government services had shut down after state workers ignored calls to go back to their jobs, the U.N. official said, causing issues at airports and borders and slowing the flow of humanitarian aid. Rebel leader Ahmad al-Sharaa, who was long known by his nom de guerre Abu Mohammed al-Golani, also met for the first time with Prime Minister Mohammad Ghazi Jalali, who stayed in Syria when Assad fled. “You will see there are skills" among the rebels, al-Sharaa said in a video shared on a rebel messaging channel. Israel said it carried out airstrikes on suspected chemical weapons sites and long-range rockets to keep them from falling into the hands of extremists. Israel also seized a buffer zone inside Syria after Syrian troops withdrew. In northern Syria, Turkey said allied opposition forces seized the town of Manbij from Kurdish-led forces backed by the United States, a reminder that even after Assad's departure, the country remains split among armed groups that have fought in the past. The Kremlin said Russia has granted political asylum to Assad , a decision made by President Vladimir Putin . Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov declined to comment on Assad’s specific whereabouts and said Putin did not plan to meet with him. Damascus was quiet Monday, with life slowly returning to normal, though most shops and public institutions were closed. In public squares, some people were still celebrating. Civilian traffic resumed, but there was no public transport. Long lines formed in front of bakeries and other food stores. There was little sign of any security presence though in some areas, small groups of armed men were stationed in the streets. Across swathes of Syria, families are now waiting outside prisons , security offices and courts, hoping for news of loved ones who were imprisoned or who disappeared. Just north of Damascus in the feared Saydnaya military prison, women detainees, some with their children, screamed as rebels broke locks off their cell doors. Amnesty International and other groups say dozens of people were secretly executed every week in Saydnaya, and they estimate that up to 13,000 Syrians were killed between 2011 and 2016. “Don’t be afraid," one rebel said as he ushered women from packed cells. "Bashar Assad has fallen!” In southern Turkey , Mustafa Sultan was among hundreds of Syrian refugees waiting at border crossings to head home. He was searching for his older brother, who was imprisoned under Assad. “I haven’t seen him for 13 years," he said. "I am going to go see whether he’s alive.” Prime minister says government is operational, but UN official says it's paralyzed Jalali, the prime minister, has sought to project normalcy since Assad fled. “We are working so that the transitional period is quick and smooth,” he told Sky News Arabia TV on Monday, saying the security situation had already improved from the day before. At the court of Justice in Damascus, which was stormed by the rebels to free detainees, Judge Khitam Haddad, an aide to the justice minister in the outgoing government, said Sunday that judges were ready to resume work quickly. “We want to give everyone their rights,” Haddad said outside the courthouse. “We want to build a new Syria and to keep the work, but with new methods.” But a U.N. official said some government services had been paralyzed as worried state employees stayed home. The public sector “has just come to a complete and abrupt halt," said U.N. Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator for Syria Adam Abdelmoula, noting, for example, that an aid flight carrying urgently needed medical supplies had been put on hold after aviation employees abandoned their jobs. “This is a country that has had one government for 53 years and then suddenly all of those who have been demonized by the public media are now in charge in the nation’s capital,” Abdelmoula told The Associated Press. "I think it will take a couple of days and a lot of assurance on the part of the armed groups for these people to return to work again.” Britain, U.S. considering removing insurgent group from terror list Britain and the U.S. are both considering whether to remove the main anti-Assad rebel group from their lists of designated terrorist organizations. Hayat Tahrir al-Sham began as an offshoot of al-Qaida but cut ties with the group years ago and has worked to present a more moderate image. The group's leader, al-Sharaa, “is saying some of the right things about the protection of minorities, about respecting people’s rights,” British Cabinet minister Pat McFadden said, adding that a change would be considered “quite quickly.” But British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, speaking later during a visit to Saudi Arabia, said it was "far too early” to make that decision. In Washington, a Biden administration official noted that HTS will be an “important component” in Syria's future and that the U.S. needs to “engage with them appropriately.” Another administration official said the U.S. remains in a “wait and see” mode on whether to remove the designation. Both officials requested anonymity to discuss the ongoing internal deliberations. State Department spokesman Matthew Miller told reporters that such designations are constantly under review. Even while it is in place, the designation does not bar U.S. officials from speaking with members or leaders of the group, he said. The U.S. also announced it was sending its special envoy for hostage affairs to Beirut to seek information about the whereabouts of Austin Tice, a journalist who vanished in Syria 12 years ago and who President Joe Biden has said is believed to be alive. Israel confirms it struck suspected chemical weapons and rockets Israelis welcomed the fall of Assad, who was a key ally of Iran and Lebanon's Hezbollah militant group, while expressing concern over what comes next. Israel says its forces temporarily seized a buffer zone inside Syria dating back to a 1974 agreement after Syrian troops withdrew in the chaos. “The only interest we have is the security of Israel and its citizens," Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar told reporters Monday. Saar did not provide details about the targets, but the British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said they included weapons warehouses, research centers, air defense systems and aircraft squadrons. Israel has carried out hundreds of airstrikes in Syria in recent years, targeting what it says are military sites related to Iran and Hezbollah . Israeli officials rarely comment on individual strikes. Syria agreed to give up its chemical weapons stockpile in 2013, after the government was accused of launching an attack near Damascus that killed hundreds of people . But it is widely believed to have kept some of the weapons and was accused of using them again in subsequent years. Turkey says its allies have taken northern town Officials in Turkey, which is the main supporter of the Syrian opposition to Assad, say its allies have taken full control of the northern Syrian city of Manbij from a U.S.-supported and Kurdish-led force known as the Syrian Democratic Forces, or SDF. The SDF said a Turkish drone struck in the village of al-Mistriha in eastern Syria, killing 12 civilians, including six children. Turkey views the SDF, which is primarily composed of a Syrian Kurdish militia, as an extension of the banned Kurdistan Workers’ Party, or PKK, which has waged a decades-long insurgency in Turkey. The SDF has also been a key ally of the United States in the war against the Islamic State group. Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan on Monday warned against allowing Islamic State or Kurdish fighters to take advantage of the situation, saying Turkey will prevent Syria from turning into a “haven for terrorism.” ___ Mroue reported from Beirut and Goldenberg from Tel Aviv, Israel.

The project is possible because of the commitment of a $553 million direct loan from the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation, created in 2019 during the first Trump administration to counter China's expansion of its global reach through infrastructure projects, such as the mega-port in Chancay, Peru, inaugurated just last month. On Monday, the U.S. agency celebrated its five-year milestone by vowing to advance U.S. foreign policy and strategic interests through projects around the world such as the one in Angola. It also seeks re-authorization from Congress and a greater ability to invest in more countries when there's a strategic need to compete with China. “We need to be good partners while offering an alternative based on our values," said Scott Nathan, the chief executive officer of the development agency, who was in Angola last week with the president. “Quite simply, we need to continue to show up.” Nathan is set to leave the post. President-elect Donald Trump is yet to name his pick to lead the agency. Over its first five years, the agency has developed a portfolio of more than $50 billion in 114 countries, including solar panel manufacturing in India, a power plant in Sierra Leone, and digital infrastructure in South America. To do that, the agency has leveraged government funding to partner with private investments. Last year, the agency committed to $12 billion in new transactions, using the roughly $800 million in appropriations, Nathan said. Investments by the agency are having a “transformational impact on economic development while concretely advancing U.S. strategic interests,” Nathan said. In Angola, for example, the rail project would help secure the supply chain by cutting both time and cost in transporting critical minerals. National security adviser Jake Sullivan said the agency was created when the U.S. was “ceding the field" to China in a new era of geopolitics. The U.S. needed a vision “calibrated to new geopolitical realities” and that matched ”the scope of the transformational challenges we faced.” It was in 2013 when Beijing launched the massive Belt and Road Initiative to gain markets and influence around the world by building roads, railways, power plants, transmission lines and ports, usually in less-developed regions. A recent report by the U.S. Government Accountability Office said China provided $679 billion for international infrastructure projects such as those in transportation and energy between 2013 and 2021, compared with the $76 billion the U.S. provided in the same period. Western politicians have criticized these Beijing-backed projects for creating debt traps, but Beijing argues that they have brought tangible and much-needed economic benefits to the host countries. In 2018, Congress passed a bipartisan bill that created the U.S. development agency, aimed at bringing private investments into low- and middle-income countries through tools such as equity investment, loan guarantee and political risk insurance. On Monday, Secretary of State Antony Blinken praised the agency for “reimagining how the U.S. does development” and said, through its work, the U.S. has “shown countries that they don't have to resort to projects that are poorly built, environmentally destructive, that import or abuse workers, that foster corruption or burden countries with unsustainable debt.” "We really are the partner of choice,” Blinken said. As challenges lie ahead, Blinken said the agency needs to do even more and in more countries than before.President-elect Donald Trump is navigating rocky political waters as two of his nominees, Pete Hegseth and Tulsi Gabbard, face scrutiny from U.S. senators. Both are controversial figures, and their confirmations hang in the balance, reliant on ardent Republican backing. Hegseth, known from his days at Fox News, is vying for the secretary of Defense post. He has met with Senator Joni Ernst, a key figure in his confirmation due to her combat experience and understanding of the military. Ernst's response post-meeting was cautiously optimistic, noting Hegseth's commitments to transparency and tackling sexual assault within the military. Tulsi Gabbard, Trump's pick for director of national intelligence, encountered criticism related to her relations with Russia and past meetings with Syrian officials. Her confirmation could redefine the intelligence community's dynamics amid fears of increased politicization. Both nominees face a tight race for confirmation, especially with a narrow Republican majority in the Senate. (With inputs from agencies.)

Every great nation has its great romantic tragedies, those star-crossed lovers who succumb to reckless passion, heedless of convention or personal cost. Ancient Rome had Antony and Cleopatra. France had Napoleon and Josephine. And modern America has the Republican Party’s helpless, hopeless love affair with shutting down the government. As with all great loves, their fervor is wholly irrational. Shutdowns annoy voters, who tend to blame Republicans for that annoyance. Nor does it save any appreciable amount of money, because the major entitlement programs keep rolling out checks, and the furloughed federal workers eventually collect back pay for the time they spent twiddling their thumbs. As for using a shutdown as a political bargaining chip ... well, as Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky) told reporters last year, “They never have produced a policy change, and they’ve always been a loser for Republicans politically.” Why, then, do Republicans keep flirting with this destructive, abusive old flame? Because too many Republicans haven’t grasped a basic political lesson: In the game of politics, it is not enough for your enemies to lose. You actually have to win. Try to think back to the last time the Republican Party had an agenda that didn’t boil down to “no”? It’s pretty difficult, isn’t it? What is the core of Donald Trump’s appeal to his base? That he owns the libs and refuses to kowtow to progressive pieties. What is his most prominent economic policy? Tariffs that represent a big fat “no” to global trade. What was the most successful political ad campaign of the 2024 campaign? The infamous “they/them” ads that painted Vice President Kamala Harris as a freak who wants to provide government-funded transition surgeries to transgender prisoners. And what have been the biggest recent conservative successes at the Supreme Court? The 2023 Students for Fair Admissions decision in which the court said “no” to affirmative action practices and the recent arguments in U.S. v. Skrmetti, which suggested that the justices are set to uphold state bans on giving puberty blockers and hormones to gender-dysphoric kids. The problem isn’t that conservatives are wrong about all these things. I disagree with Trump on the merits of tariffs, but I also have serious reservations about the current research base and practice of youth gender medicine. The prison system shouldn’t provide expensive transition surgeries to people who have committed horrible crimes, or house anyone with male genitalia in a women’s prison. Like many Americans, I think that our nation’s affirmative action programs had an element of unfairness to them and became unworkable as the nation diversified. But “no,” by itself, is not an agenda. And that’s basically all the Republican Party is selling right now, to voters and to itself. No to wokeness, no to foreign aid, no to gun control or vaccine mandates - no, in fact, to anything the left says, including “Happy holidays.” No might be enough to curb the worst excesses of the left, but it leaves massive gaps that the party has mostly filled by rhetorical posturing and empty gestures. A serious Republican agenda would lay out exactly what should be taxed, and what the money should be spent on - make those numbers roughly balance each other out. Anything else is a recipe for endless deficits, perennial policy failures and constant crisis. The lack of a positive agenda keeps bringing us back to the same pointless battles over raising the debt ceiling and funding the government. Democrats have a list of things they want to get done, which forces them to make deals. Republicans have a list of things they don’t want done, and it’s hard to rally your conference around a black hole, or a vague notion that taxes should be lower and so should spending, especially on Democratic constituencies, but no plausible plan for making it so. So, when the debt ceiling inevitably needs to be raised, or the government funded, a chunk of their caucus simply retreats into “No, not that!” without ever answering the question “Okay, then what?” This tactic never worked very well, but it’s becoming increasingly untenable as America’s fiscal problems mount. Republicans can scream “no” as loud as they want, but unless they stabilize Social Security and Medicare, those programs will run out of money, just the same. Nor will it fix other problems that voters - and Republicans - care about. Saying “no” to abortion won’t undo the cultural and economic forces that have made it hard for young people to form healthy, fertile families. Saying “no” to immigration won’t end our housing crisis if you are also deporting construction workers who build new homes. Saying “no” to trade won’t magically bring back the old manufacturing economy that so many Republicans long for. Many of the jobs we lost were displaced by modern machinery, not cheap foreign labor, and many of our current manufacturing jobs depend on inputs from elsewhere, like the high-tech Dutch photolithography machines that are used to make advanced semiconductors. Oh, sure, Republicans can nope out some taxes, as they have done every time they’ve come to power for the last two decades. But unless they are also willing to say no to major spending programs - defense, old age entitlements, veterans’ benefits - the resulting deficits will translate into higher inflation and interest rates. Voters will give that the same resounding “no” they just delivered to President Joe Biden and Harris. If they want to keep the new-won affections of the American voter, they need to ditch their destructive ex.
