WFHB Local News – November 6th, 2025
This is the WFHB Local News for Thursday, November 6th, 2025.
In today’s newscast, Charlotte Zietlow – local activist and civic leader – passed away on Wednesday at 91-years-old. We will revisit two archived segments with Zietlow on WFHB during today’s broadcast.
Also coming up in the next half hour, WFHB Sports Correspondents Chase Dodson and Jake Bedway spoke with the new head coach for the IU men’s basketball team, Darian Devries and two players about their hopes for this season.
Featured Segments:
Charlotte Zietlow holds up a campaign brochure for the 1971 election in Bloomington when she was elected to the city council. Before becoming a local political powerhouse, Charlotte and her husband, Paul, spent a year in Czechoslovakia as part of an educational exchange program. She says in her new memoir, “Minister’s Daughter: One Life, Many Lives,” with Michael G. Glab, that the experience proved American democracy was worth fighting for. | Limestone Post
Charlotte Zietlow, longtime local civic leader and women’s rights pioneer, died yesterday at the age of 91. Zietlow was the first woman elected to the Bloomington City Council in 1971 and served as the council president the following year. For decades, she has championed local activism and progressive causes. She was instrumental in the restoration of the Monroe County Courthouse, fought to keep Lake Monroe as our primary source of drinking water and opposed a proposal for a PCB incinerator. Honoring her many years of devotion to public service, the county justice building was renamed the Charlotte T. Zietlow Justice Center in 2012. In today’s newscast, we revisit an interview with Zietlow on WFHB with Big Talk host Michael Glab from February 8th, 2018. That archived interview with Charlotte Zietlow coming up next on the WFHB Local News.
Friday, March 30th, 2012 was officially declared “Charlotte Zietlow Day” in Monroe County, coinciding with the renaming of the Justice Building as the “Charlotte Zietlow Justice Center.” Among many speakers were county commissioners Mark Stoops and Iris Kiesling, as well as Zietlow herself. Their words here – in an archived WFHB feature report from April 2nd, 2012. We turn now to that feature in honor of Charlotte Zietlow who passed away yesterday at the age of 91.
Up next, WFHB Sports Correspondents Chase Dodson and Jake Bedway spoke with the new head coach for the IU men’s basketball team, Darian Devries, and two players about their hopes for this season. That feature is coming up next on WFHB.
Now, we turn to today’s Sports News Briefing – a rundown of local, state and national sports news. That’s coming up next on WFHB.
