Ohio University Professor Tom Hayes Returns to Columbus After Israeli Detention in Gaza

Columbus, Ohio — An Ohio University professor, who was detained by Israeli authorities while participating in a humanitarian mission to deliver food and medicine to Gaza, has safely returned to Columbus, according to local activist groups.

Tom Hayes, an associate professor at Ohio University’s School of Film, arrived at John Glenn Columbus International Airport on October 12, 2025. Hayes was among several journalists and medical professionals aboard the aid vessel “The Conscience,” which was intercepted by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) on October 8 around 6 p.m. UTC, according to the Freedom Flotilla Tracker, an open-source tool monitoring humanitarian ships attempting to reach Gaza.

Following the interception, the vessel was escorted to the Israeli port city of Ashdod, where passengers were detained and questioned. The Freedom Flotilla Coalition, of which Hayes is a member, is a grassroots organization that has repeatedly sought to challenge the Israeli naval blockade of Gaza, aiming to deliver food and medical assistance to Palestinians.

The Ohio University Faculty and Staff for Justice in Palestine confirmed that Hayes was acting as a media volunteer during the mission. The Conscience reportedly carried international journalists and medical personnel representing over 25 countries.

International organizations, including the World Health Organization, have highlighted the severe humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where shortages of food, clean water, and medical supplies have left many civilians suffering.

Hayes has yet to release a public statement about his experience but was welcomed home by local supporters and advocacy groups who commended his commitment to humanitarian efforts and justice for Palestinians.

Delaware City Attorney Natalia Harris Resigns, Citing Workplace Bullying and Discrimination

Delaware, Ohio – Delaware City Attorney Natalia Harris has officially resigned from her position, citing “workplace bullying and discriminatory conduct” in a resignation letter submitted on September 24, 2025. Harris, who made history as Delaware’s first African American and first female city attorney, announced that she would use her accrued compensatory time before her final day on October 3, 2025.

In her letter, Harris expressed pride in her contributions over five years leading the city’s legal department but stated she could no longer tolerate what she described as a hostile work environment. However, she did not provide specific examples of the alleged incidents.

A city spokesperson, Lee Yoakum, stated that the city’s human resources department has not received any formal complaints or documentation supporting Harris’ allegations. Attempts to reach Harris for further comment as of October 13 were unsuccessful.

The city attorney in Delaware is an appointed position reporting to the city manager rather than an elected office. Following Harris’ resignation, the City of Delaware listed an opening for a new chief legal counsel on October 6, with a salary range between $141,668.80 and $160,160.00 per year, according to official records.

Harris, who previously served as Delaware’s chief prosecutor starting in July 2019, was appointed city attorney in 2020. Earlier this year, she ran in the 2024 Democratic primary for Franklin County Prosecutor, losing to Shayla Favor, who later won the general election.

With more than 25 years of legal experience, Harris has served in several Ohio jurisdictions, including as assistant city attorney for Columbus for 11 years, focusing on civil and administrative law. She also worked in the Montgomery County Prosecutor’s Office in Dayton and served as lead prosecutor for the city of Cincinnati.

Harris earned her law degree from the University of Dayton School of Law and her undergraduate degree from Central State University, where she currently serves as vice chair of the board of trustees.

Ohio Leads the Nation in La Crosse Virus Cases, Health Officials Warn

Ohio Leads the Nation in La Crosse Virus Cases, Health Officials Warn

Ohio is currently leading the nation in La Crosse virus cases, a mosquito-borne illness that primarily affects children under the age of 16, according to the Ohio Department of Health (ODH).

“This has been a particularly active year,” said Dr. Chris Ouellette, an Infectious Disease Physician at Nationwide Children’s Hospital. “While we are seeing more cases than usual, this trend is consistent with historical patterns when looking over a longer period.”

So far, 40 human cases of the La Crosse virus have been reported in Ohio this year, twice the average annual number typically recorded in the state. Most of the cases have been concentrated in central and southeastern Ohio, as well as in Appalachian regions, where the mosquito species that spreads the virus thrives.

Dr. Ouellette said Nationwide Children’s Hospital has treated over 20 cases in the past year. “That’s within the range of what we’ve seen before,” he noted.

The La Crosse virus is spread by a specific type of mosquito found in wooded or shaded areas and is known to bite during the daytime. Because the illness is not transmitted from person to person, doctors stress that prevention through mosquito protection is the most effective defense.

“The best protection starts with mosquito repellent,” Dr. Ouellette advised. “Use repellents on exposed skin and wear long-sleeved clothing to minimize bites.”

Most people infected with the virus do not show symptoms, but when symptoms appear, they usually develop within five to fifteen days after being bitten by an infected mosquito.

“The virus can cause inflammation of the brain and the membranes surrounding it,” Ouellette said. “Typical symptoms include fever, headache, and nausea.”

Despite sounding alarming, most children recover fully without lasting health effects. There is no vaccine or specific treatment for the La Crosse virus, so mosquito bite prevention remains the best protection.

Health officials continue to monitor the situation closely as Ohio remains the leading state for La Crosse virus infections this year.

Columbus Police Shot and Killed Man During Robbery Response in University District

Columbus Police shot and killed a man during a robbery response in the University District early Saturday morning, October 12, officials confirmed.

According to Sgt. James Fuqua of the Columbus Division of Police, officers responded to reports of a possible robbery around 3:30 a.m. near North High Street and 9th Avenue. A patrol officer was flagged down by individuals who reported that a man in the area was possibly armed.

The officer later saw a person matching the description and attempted to stop him. When the suspect ran away, the officer pursued on foot. According to a police press release, the officer radioed that the man being chased had a gun.

“A brief foot pursuit followed, and the officer fired shots at the suspect,” Fuqua said.

Brian Steel, president of the Fraternal Order of Police Capital City Lodge #9, said witnesses told officers that the suspect was armed and allegedly brandished a gun while fleeing. “As we always say, officers react to a suspect’s actions,” Steel stated. “They discharged their weapon, shot him, and killed him.”

However, Fuqua noted that investigators have not yet confirmed whether the man actually pointed the gun at officers. The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) has taken over the case to ensure transparency and an independent review.

A firearm was recovered at the scene, believed to be connected to the suspect, but further details about the weapon are still unclear. The man was transported to Grant Medical Center in critical condition and later died from his injuries. No officers were injured, police confirmed.

Authorities have not yet released the names of either the officer involved or the deceased man. Several individuals were detained at the scene for questioning, but no arrests have been made as of now.

The investigation remains ongoing, according to Columbus Police.

9 Year Old Boy Dies After Lancaster Shooting

LANCASTER, Ohio — Authorities in Lancaster have confirmed the death of a 9-year-old boy after an accidental shooting that took place Monday evening on Summitview Drive.

9 Year Old Critically Injured in Lancaster Shooting

According to the Lancaster Police Department, officers responded to the scene around 5:30 p.m. after receiving reports of a shooting involving two juveniles. Investigators say the children were playing with a gun when one of them reportedly tried to imitate “how a drunk person acted.” Moments later, the firearm discharged, striking the 9-year-old.

The second child who witnessed the shooting reportedly moved the weapon before alerting an adult in the home. Paramedics quickly arrived and airlifted the injured child to a Columbus hospital, where he was listed in critical condition. Police confirmed on Saturday that the boy later died from his injuries.

The Lancaster Police Department has launched an active investigation into the incident, with assistance from the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI). Officials have not yet released the identities of those involved.

Authorities continue to urge residents to secure firearms safely and ensure children are educated about gun safety, emphasizing the importance of preventing similar tragedies.

Over 20 000 Palestinian Children Killed Remembered in Hilliard

Columbus, Ohio — At Hilliard Station Park, thousands of names echoed through the air as local residents gathered in a solemn ceremony to honor over 20,000 Palestinian children who lost their lives since October 7, 2023, in the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict.

Beginning at 8 a.m. on October 11, community members took turns reading each child’s name every 15 minutes — a symbolic gesture to humanize the devastating loss. “Each name represents a child who had dreams, hopes, and a future,” said event organizer Nesha Usmani, emphasizing the importance of remembrance and empathy.

Fellow organizer Sharay Syed spoke on the emotional weight of the event, noting the painful imagery shared online by families in Gaza. “There’s no political explanation for a child’s life being taken by war,” she said.

The vigil followed a ceasefire declaration by the Israel Defense Forces on October 8, marking a significant pause in the two-year conflict. However, despite the ceasefire, community leaders acknowledged that thousands more victims remain unaccounted for under rubble and destruction, bringing the total death toll to over 67,000.

This was not the first remembrance of its kind. The organizers first held a public name-reading event on September 20 at Bridge Park in Dublin, Ohio. After 11 hours, only a quarter of the names had been read, reflecting the magnitude of the tragedy.

The October 11 vigil concluded with an interfaith prayer organized by Baladna: Palestine Society of Columbus, where approximately 100 participants gathered to express solidarity and call for global awareness.

Board member Noura Dabdoub shared her personal connection to Palestine and urged continued attention: “Even if the ceasefire holds, families will still be recovering — pulling remains from the rubble for years.”

Dr. Luma Ghalib, a physician at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, reminded attendees of the broader human lesson: “We must not forget. History has shown us too many tragedies. This should be the moment we choose compassion over conflict.”

The event closed with a shared vow among attendees that while the world may move on, Columbus will never forget the children lost to war.

Governor Mike DeWine Reprieves Execution Dates for Two Death Row Inmates

Ohio Governor Mike DeWine has granted reprieves to two death row inmates, postponing their scheduled executions by three years.

Antonio Franklin and James Trimble, both convicted of aggravated murder, were originally slated for execution in early 2026. Under the new orders, Franklin’s execution has been rescheduled from February 11, 2026, to February 15, 2029, while Trimble’s date has been moved from March 12, 2026, to March 14, 2029.

Gov Mike DeWine Sued by Ohio Companies for removing intoxicating hemp products from Ohio stores

This marks the second reprieve granted to Franklin, who received a death sentence in Montgomery County in 1998. Trimble, imprisoned at the Ross County Correctional Institution since 2005, was sentenced to death for three counts of aggravated murder, according to the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction (DRC).

As of August 2025, Ohio houses 113 inmates on death row, with no executions carried out so far this year. Meanwhile, state lawmakers have renewed discussions on abolishing the death penalty, reflecting a growing movement within the Ohio Statehouse to reconsider capital punishment.

Gov Mike DeWine Sued by Ohio Companies for removing intoxicating hemp products from Ohio stores

Court records from Franklin County show that three Ohio-based companies, Fumee Smoke and Vape, Invicta Nutraceuticals, and Titan Logistics Group have filed a lawsuit against Gov. Mike DeWine and the Ohio Department of Agriculture.

The suit challenges DeWine’s recent executive order banning certain hemp products from store shelves across Ohio. Retailers were instructed to remove the products by Tuesday. The order will remain in place for 90 days, giving the Ohio General Assembly time to decide whether to extend it.

Shocking Impact: Ohio Hemp Businesses Could Close if Senate Bill 86 Passes

The companies involved argue that the governor’s action is unlawful and will hurt their businesses, stating there is no evidence that these hemp products pose a threat to public health. They have also asked the court for a temporary restraining order to prevent the ban from taking effect, warning that it could cause major financial losses and even force them to close.

Governor DeWine defended the move, explaining that Ohio’s marijuana law, approved by voters, created a regulated and tested market with strict packaging standards — safeguards not currently applied to hemp products.

Currently, hemp-derived items can be sold to any age group and are not regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), leading to ongoing debates about how the state should manage the growing hemp industry.

Sister Jean Dolores, Loyola Chaplain Dies at 106

Sister Jean Dolores Schmidt, the cherished chaplain of Loyola University Chicago’s men’s basketball team and a beloved figure in the university community, passed away on Thursday at the age of 106, Loyola University confirmed.

Sister Jean rose to national fame during Loyola’s unforgettable 2018 NCAA Tournament run, when the Ramblers made it to the Final Four for the first time since winning the 1963 national championship. Her positivity and deep faith captured hearts across the country.

“For more than six decades, Sister Jean was an extraordinary source of wisdom, kindness, and faith for our Loyola family,” said Loyola University President Mark C. Reed. “Her legacy brings both sorrow and joy — sorrow for our loss, and joy for the countless lives she touched.”

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

Born Dolores Bertha Schmidt on August 21, 1919, in San Francisco, she joined the Sisters of Charity of the Blessed Virgin Mary (BVM) in 1937, adopting the name Sister Jean Dolores. She began teaching at Catholic schools in Chicago and California before joining Mundelein College in 1961. After the college affiliated with Loyola University Chicago in 1991, she continued her mission of mentorship and service.

In 1994, Sister Jean became an academic advisor and later chaplain for the Loyola men’s basketball team — a role that made her a national inspiration for students, athletes, and fans alike.

BVM President LaDonna Manternach described her as “a woman of prayer, a beacon of hope, and a teacher who saw God’s presence in everything around her.”

Beyond basketball, Sister Jean founded SMILE (Students Moving Into the Lives of the Elderly), a program connecting Loyola students with residents at The Clare, a senior living community near Loyola’s Water Tower Campus.

Her remarkable contributions earned her induction into the Loyola Athletics Hall of Fame (2017) and the Sword of Loyola (2018). She received countless honors — including an Apostolic Blessing from Pope Francis for her 100th birthday and a proclamation from President Joe Biden on her 105th birthday recognizing her lifetime of service.

In 2022, Chicago honored her by renaming the Loyola CTA Red Line plaza in her name. She also published her memoir, “Wake Up with Purpose!: What I have Learned in My First Hundred Years,” in February 2023.

Even at 106, Sister Jean continued to embody purpose, love, and faith — leaving behind a timeless legacy that continues to inspire generations.

Federal Immigration Agents Raid Mount Vernon Taco Shop, Ohio

Federal immigration officers carried out a surprise raid at Panchos Tacos, a popular Mexican restaurant in Mount Vernon, Ohio, October 9. According to a statement released by the City of Mount Vernon, the operation took place around 12:30 p.m. at the restaurant located at 110 Mt. Vernon Avenue.

The city reported that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) did not inform local officials about the details or timing of the enforcement action. It remains unclear how many employees were taken into custody during the incident.

In an official statement, city leaders emphasized their dedication to supporting residents, maintaining the rule of law, and protecting the constitutional right to due process for all individuals.

“The City remains steadfast in its commitment to supporting our citizens, upholding the rule of law, and defending the Constitution of the United States,” the statement read.

Mount Vernon authorities said they are still gathering information as ICE has not disclosed how many individuals were detained. Attempts to reach the Knox County Sheriff’s Office for comment were unsuccessful.

Panchos Tacos, which opened in 2024, temporarily closed following the raid. A post on the restaurant’s Facebook page confirmed its closure for the day without providing further explanation. Calls to the restaurant went unanswered, and the listed phone number appeared disconnected at the time of reporting.
