Midwestern state reports first measles case since 2011
North Dakota has reported its first case of measles in over a decade.
This case — the state’s first since 2011 — involves an unvaccinated child, who, according to North Dakota Health and Human Services, may have contracted the virus from an out-of-state visitor.
The infected person is currently isolating at home to avoid spreading measles to others, according to the press release.
‘I’M A DOCTOR: HERE ARE 11 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT MEASLES’
“HHS is contacting those who may have been exposed and advising unvaccinated individuals [on] how long to quarantine,” reads the statement. “Because the majority of North Dakotans are vaccinated, the risk to the general public is low.”

“Anyone with symptoms consistent with measles should call ahead before visiting a clinic to avoid exposing others,” said Molly Howell, HHS immunization director, in a statement.
“Vaccination remains the most effective defense against measles. Measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) vaccination is safer than risking measles illness.”
“Because the majority of North Dakotans are vaccinated, the risk to the general public is low.”
Measles cases continue to spread throughout the U.S., with 12 states reporting official outbreaks, according to the latest data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
There are a total of 935 confirmed measles cases in 30 U.S. jurisdictions, per the same source.

Fox News’ senior medical analyst Dr. Marc Siegel previously told Fox News Digital that measles is highly contagious.
“There is a 90% chance you will get it if you are unvaccinated and step into a room where someone with measles was two hours before,” he cautioned.

Siegel has suggested that high exemption rates for childhood vaccines, which are now under 85% compliance, are to blame for the spread.

Many cases in the current U.S. outbreak have occurred in unvaccinated individuals, mostly school-aged children.
ANOTHER STATE CONFIRMS MEASLES CASE WITH INFECTED CHILD ITS FIRST OF YEAR
Children under the age of 5 are most vulnerable to measles, health experts confirm.
The CDC recommends that children receive two doses of the MMR (measles-mumps-rubella) vaccine, starting with the first dose at 12 to 15 months of age, and a second dose at 4 through 6 years of age.

“If your infant is too young for the vaccine, it’s important to take extra precautions to limit their exposure to others who are or might be ill,” she advised.
“Don’t be afraid to decline travel or gatherings — you have every right to protect your child’s health.”
Croucher recommends that parents contact a doctor right away if they think their child may have measles.

An Ohio school administrator, who was married with children, was sentenced to three years in prison on Tuesday for having sex with a teen student in her office.
Emily Nutley, a 43-year-old former counselor who worked with at-risk students at St. Xavier High School in Cincinnati, pleaded guilty to sexual battery in April, and must also now register as a Tier 3 sex offender every 90 days during her life, WLWT’s Karin Johnson reports.
Although Ohio law does not mandate a prison term for such a crime, the victim’s family called for the maximum possible sentence. Ohio asked for a five-year sentence, while the defense asked for probation.
A sentencing memorandum obtained by the Cincinnati Enquirer said text messages showed Nutley initiated the sexual relationship with the male student in late 2023. Nutley had texted the student, who was 17 at the time, sent nude photos of herself to him and had at least four sexual encounters with him.

When the teen tried to end things with Nutley, who was 42 at the time, the documents state that “she threatened to kill herself” and paid him to keep quiet about the relationship.
The student told his parents about the situation on Oct. 7, 2024, and met with school administrators the following day, the newspaper reported. On Oct. 11, 2024, the school fired Nutley after an internal investigation.

In the memorandum, prosecutors likened Nutley to “most pedophiles,” saying that she “preyed on the most defenseless person she could find.”

Nutley’s attorney, Joe Suhre, filed a separate sentencing memorandum, describing her as a “broken woman” who suffered from mental illness and alcohol abuse and was a survivor of sexual abuse.
Suhre said that when the sexual encounters with the student began, Nutley was depressed over the death of her brother and the dissolution of her marriage. He said a psychologist treating her found her behavior to be tied to “unresolved trauma.”

Prosecutors wrote that the student “will pay the price for the rest of his life” over Nutley’s actions.
Since her conviction in April, Nutley has been in a treatment program for those convicted of sex crimes, Suhre said.

Detroit Golf Club saw a new course record for the second straight day Friday at the 2025 Rocket Classic, but not all golfers had loads of birdies.
With so many low scores, the cut line hiked up to 5 under par, meaning golfers had to shoot 6-under or better through two rounds to make the weekend.
Eighty-six players did just that. Plenty of big names did not.
Of the 70 players going home early, here are six big names that did not make the cut this year, and an update on how a handful of golfers with local ties fared:
Kevin Kisner, 5 under par (68, 71)
Kisner went back to golfing this week after his stint in the booth as NBC Sports’ lead golf commentator. He shot 4-under 68 in Round 1, but a slow 1-under 71 in Round 2 left him one shot off the cut line. He struggled on the back nine, shooting 1-over 37 by carding three bogeys (Nos. 11, 12, 15) with just two birdies, both coming on the par-5s.
Wyndham Clark, 4 under par (66, 74)
After a mistake-free first round with six birdies, Clark, the 2023 U.S. Open winner, folded on Day 2, making a triple-bogey snowman on the par-5 fourth after blocking his drive way right into the driving range. Bogeys on Nos. 9 and 11 further derailed him, and his three birdies were not enough to overcome the one big miss.
Max Homa, 3 under par (71, 70)
Homa’s rough stretch on Tour continues, as he shot 71-70 to miss the cut by a few shots. He birdied his first two holes of the tournament Thursday on Nos. 1 and 2, both par-4s, bogeyed No. 3, birdied No. 4 but bogeyed No. 6. He parred the final 12 holes. He had three birdies in his second round, not nearly enough to make up the ground lost on Day 1. Homa has tumbled to No. 96 in the world after being in the top 10 in 2023.
Rickie Fowler, 2 under par (71, 71)
Fowler, the tournament’s 2023 winner in a playoff, could not deliver this year, carding 1-under rounds each day. His five birdies in the first round, including four in a row from Nos. 17 to 2, were nullified by four bogeys, including two on par-5s. He had four birdies to three bogeys Friday to never threaten the cut line. He has yet to win since his Rocket victory nearly two years ago.
Tom Kim, 1 under par (67, 76)
Kim had a preposterous three double-bogeys in his second round, negating a bogey-free 5-under 67 he shot Thursday. That included doubles on two of his final three holes, making a seven on the gettable par-5 seventh and a five on long par-3 ninth by three-putting from 11 feet. He also made six on his third hole, the par-4 No. 12, after hooking his tee shot way left out of play.
Cam Davis, even par (74, 70)
The defending Rocket champion and only two-time winner in Detroit did not bring his best in his title defense. He had just one birdie on Thursday, then bogeyed his final three holes, Nos. 7-9, to essentially put himself out of the tournament after Day 1.
How did locals play?
*Made cut
- *Brett White, East Kentwood/Eastern Michigan: 8-under (67, 69)
- *James Piot, Detroit Catholic Central/Michigan State: 6-under (70, 68)
- Ryan Brehm, Mount Pleasant/Michigan State: 2-under (71, 71)
- Otto Black, Pinckney: 1-under (72, 71)
- Ben Cook, Grand Rapids South Christian/Ferris State: 2-over (71, 75)
- Joe Hooks, U-D Jesuit/Wayne State: 4-over (72, 76)
- Ashton McCulloch, Michigan State (amateur): 8-over (78, 74)
