New Measles Cases Reported in Central Ohio, Health Officials Urge Vaccination

Health officials in Central Ohio are once again reminding residents about the importance of vaccination after several new measles cases were confirmed in the region.

The New Albany-Plain Local Schools’ Early Learning Center (ELC) temporarily closed on Monday after a student tested positive for measles. Fully vaccinated kindergarten students are expected to return Tuesday, while preschool classes will remain closed for the week and possibly through October 16.

“This is a huge inconvenience for many families,” said Dr. Mysheika Roberts, Health Commissioner with Columbus Public Health (CPH).

According to officials from CPH, Franklin County Public Health, and the school district, the infection started when an unvaccinated traveler returned from abroad and transmitted the virus to a sibling. The sibling later attended the ELC during their infectious period.

Dr. Roberts noted that some young students have not yet completed their vaccination schedules. “Those with one dose can receive their second and return to school. But unvaccinated children must stay home for 21 days, even after receiving their first dose,” she explained.

There are currently four confirmed measles cases, all within a single unvaccinated household in the New Albany-Plain Local Schools district.

“I want to remind people that measles is not a mild disease. One of our cases required hospitalization,” said Dr. Roberts.

Although contained to one family, the incident is being treated as an outbreak, reminiscent of the 2022 Central Ohio outbreak, which recorded 85 cases — 84 among unvaccinated individuals.

“This situation shows the importance of having children vaccinated,” Dr. Roberts emphasized. “It protects your family and helps prevent the spread of this highly contagious illness.”

Ann B Walker: Columbus Broadcasting Pioneer and Ohio Trailblazer Dies at 101

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ann B Walker, a trailblazer in Ohio journalism and a beloved voice in the Columbus Black community, passed away on October 5, 2025, at the age of 101. Walker made history as the first woman broadcaster to cover the Ohio Statehouse, breaking barriers for women and minorities in media.

NBC4 anchor and Columbus Association of Black Journalists President Kerry Charles described her passing as “a great loss”, acknowledging her influence and mentorship. “She opened doors for so many women and people of color in broadcasting,” Charles said. “Her wisdom and support will forever be remembered.”

A Life of Firsts and Unmatched Influence

Born in Columbus on November 1, 1923, Ann B. Walker graduated from East High School before attending Prairie View A&M College in Texas on a tennis scholarship. She later earned her bachelor’s degree from George Williams College in Chicago in 1944.

Walker began her journalism career in 1949 with the Ohio Sentinel, one of the city’s first Black newspapers. In the 1960s, she joined WVKO-AM Radio, where she served as both an on-air personality and station leader.

In 1972, Walker joined WLWC-TV (now NBC4 Columbus), where she worked as a producer, community services director, and became the first woman in broadcast management at the station. She also created an internship program to inspire future broadcasters.

National Recognition and Lasting Legacy

Her remarkable work earned her a place in the Ohio Women’s Hall of Fame (1978) as the first woman to cover the Ohio Statehouse. Two years later, President Jimmy Carter appointed her as a Special Assistant to the Director of the White House Public Affairs Office, making her the first Black woman from Franklin County to hold a White House appointment.

Columbus City Council President Shannon Hardin praised Walker as “a leader who fought for justice and equal opportunity for women and African Americans.”

Her influence reached beyond Ohio. The King of Ghana honored Walker with the title of Queen Mother of Mozano Village, recognizing her cultural and community contributions. During her time on the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium Board, she also organized educational trips to Africa, strengthening international ties.

Honors and Remembered Grace

Former Columbus Mayor Michael Coleman called her a “symbol of pride” and “a queen in every sense.” Her regal presence inspired admiration and respect throughout her career.

In recent years, Columbus honored her legacy with:

  • Ann B. Walker Plaza at the Adelphi Quarter Apartments
  • A special NBC4 documentary
  • A City Council proclamation ahead of her 100th birthday

As she once said in a 2021 Columbus Monthly interview:

“My mission was to open the door for at least one other person. But I was able to open it for many more, because once they saw the possibilities, they were willing to put forth the effort.”

Ann B. Walker’s century-long legacy continues to inspire new generations of Ohio journalists and community leaders.

Hamas Agrees to Release Remaining Israeli Hostages as Part of Trump’s Gaza Peace Plan

On October 3, 2025, Hamas announced its acceptance of U.S. President Donald Trump’s 20-point peace proposal for Gaza. The plan includes a ceasefire, hostage exchanges, and long-term reconstruction efforts in the war-torn region.

As part of the agreement, Hamas pledged to release all remaining Israeli hostages, both alive and deceased, and expressed readiness to hand over Gaza’s administration to an independent Palestinian governing body. The group also signaled openness to begin mediated negotiations with Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey to further the peace process.

Despite this breakthrough, Israeli airstrikes continued across Gaza, and Israeli leaders voiced skepticism over critical unresolved issues, particularly the question of Hamas disarmament.

This development marks a pivotal moment in the ongoing Israel-Gaza conflict, raising questions about the future of peace in the region and the effectiveness of international mediation.

Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther Named 2025 Public Official of the Year by Governing Magazine

Columbus, Ohio – Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther has been named a 2025 Public Official of the Year by Governing Magazine, earning national recognition for his leadership and commitment to driving Central Ohio’s growth.

The announcement, featured in Governing Magazine’s Fall 2025 issue, highlights Ginther’s role in strengthening public-private partnerships that have fueled job creation, regional collaboration, and population growth across the Columbus metropolitan area.

Despite describing Columbus as “flat” and without coastlines or mountains, Governing noted that the city has become a Midwest success story — growing faster than many urban centers thanks to its economic resilience and collaborative spirit.

Mayor Ginther emphasized the region’s culture of innovation and teamwork:

“It is built into our culture, our way of doing things, our traditions and our values. The question isn’t whether public-private partnerships are a good idea. It is what’s next and what else can we do,” Ginther told Governing Magazine.

Ginther joins a distinguished group of leaders recognized for making a lasting impact on their communities, including:

  • William Tong – Connecticut Attorney General
  • Michael G. Adams – Kentucky Secretary of State
  • Felecia Alston Green – Deputy CIO, Dekalb County, Georgia
  • Ted Ross – Chief Information Officer, Los Angeles
  • Greg Abbott – Texas Governor
  • Melissa Hortman – Late Minnesota House Speaker Emerita

According to Governing, this diverse group of state and local officials from both parties were selected because they “have brought about significant changes to their communities.”

Ginther’s recognition not only elevates Columbus on the national stage but also reinforces the city’s reputation as a place where collaboration, innovation, and leadership drive real results.
