Veterinary laboratories in several states are investigating an unusual respiratory illness in dogs, and encouraging people to take basic precautions to keep their pets healthy as veterinarians try to pin down what's making the animals sick. Oregon, Colorado and New Hampshire are among the states that have seen cases of the illness, which has caused lasting respiratory disease and pneumonia and does not respond to antibiotics. Symptoms of respiratory illness in dogs include coughing, sneezing, nasal or eye discharge and lethargy. Some cases of pneumonia progress quickly, making dogs very sick within 24 to 36 hours.

Meet Pieter Omtzigt, the Dutch election favorite who doesn’t want to win 

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:47:37 GMT

The Netherlands is heading to the polls next week in an election that will decide its new prime minister. There’s just one problem: The man who’s been leading the race doesn’t seem very keen on the job. Pieter Omtzigt only founded his New Social Contract (NSC) three months ago, but has been topping the polls in the closely fought campaign for weeks. Traditionally the largest party in the highly-fragmented parliament provides the candidate for premier, and that person is almost always the party leader. But Omtzigt has been vague about his intentions, leaving the door open to backing someone else for the top job, even if his party wins the most seats on November 22. “I see what The Hague does to politicians, it can consume you 24/7. And so I also have a responsibility at home and that is important,” said the father of four. “By the way, I think it’s also very valuable for my political antenna to be on a soccer field or in a church or at a s...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:47:37 GMT

A New Hampshire couple recently walked 7NEWS through terrifying moments as ferry boat carrying more than 100 people sank Wednesday in the Bahamas. Melissa and Mark Kazemier were on a birthday cruise and excursion when the boat they were on suddenly started taking on water on its way to an island, sending them scrambling to get life vests. “One wave right after another and the nose of the boat went down and it never really recovered,” Melissa said. Melissa said the side of the boat she and Mark were on “was going down very quickly.” With strong waves continuing to crash into their sinking boat, Melissa said her husband grabbed lifejackets. “He helped me put mine on and there was a couple behind us that had a two-year-old and a four-year-old with them and so, of course they’re struggling to get vests on the two children,” she said. “So, my husband helped them.”Moments later, Mark and Melissa jumped into the water. “When it reached a point where we were getting slam...

Judge rules Former President Trump can remain on Colorado primary ballot

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:47:37 GMT

(CNN) — A Colorado judge has rejected an attempt to remove former President Donald Trump from the state’s 2024 primary ballot based on the claim that he is constitutionally barred from office because of the January 6, 2021, insurrection.The major decision issued Friday by Colorado District Judge Sarah Wallace comes after judges in Minnesota and Michigan also refused to remove Trump from that state’s Republican primary ballots.These three high-profile challenges against Trump, which had the backing of well-funded advocacy groups, have so far failed to remove him from a single ballot, with the 2024 primary season fast approaching.Wallace said she was keeping the former president on the ballot because the 14th Amendment’s “insurrectionist ban” does not apply to presidents, though she found that “Trump engaged in an insurrection on January 6, 2021 through incitement, and that the First Amendment does not protect Trump’s speech.”The 14th Amend...

Weston sweeps past Medfield, captures Div. 3 state volleyball title

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:47:37 GMT

WORCESTER – Players talked about winning the Weston girls volleyball program’s first state title when Eileen Leblanc took over as head coach three years ago.Friday night at Worcester State, they finally made it a reality.Sophomore setter Riley Huml dished 33 assists, balancing the attack to help the third-seeded Wildcats (20-5) take the year’s rubber-match against No. 1 Medfield, 3-0 (25-20, 25-17, 26-24), in the Div. 3 state final.Overcoming slow starts in the first couple sets was part of the job, but Fielding Mayhugh (15 kills), Nevaeh Yancey (12 kills, two aces) and Eleanor Wilkins (eight kills) proved reliable options to build big runs in each set. The Warriors (23-2) put up a scare at the end to nearly extend the match to at least one more set, but Weston’s composure carried out its three-year mission.Seeing that goal fulfilled, while the program has since expanded from one team to three, brought Leblanc to tears.“It’s all them,” Leblanc said. “I am privileged to be their guid...

MANSFIELD — After watching his group open the season 0-2, Herb Devine was still optimistic. While some folks were counting Scituate out before league play, the football coach was holding out hope things could still quickly turn around.Just weeks later, the Sailors are back in a spot they found themselves just two short years ago – one win away from the pinnacle.Senior quarterback Jackson Belsan completed 14-of-18 passes for 189 yards and two total touchdowns (one rushing), while junior running back Willy Robinson added 46 yards rushing and a score as the seventh-seeded Sailors returned to the Div. 4 Super Bowl for the first time since 2021 with a hard-fought 20-10 victory over No. 6 Grafton.The Sailors (8-3) were determined to prove they belonged in the Div. 4 Super Bowl conversation, and they opened action with a long drive.

Celtics not ‘best version,’ but find a way to escape with victory over Raptors

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:47:37 GMT

As the clock ran out, Jayson Tatum dribbled the ball across midcourt with a look of relief on his face.This was a game the Celtics easily could have lost, and probably would have last season. After taking a commanding lead, they let it go. Their offense suddenly went missing. They played ugly basketball. They found themselves in a dog fight with the Raptors, and trailed with less than two minutes to go.But in what’s becoming an early-season theme, the Celtics figured out a way. With the game tied in the final minute, Jrue Holiday found Derrick White in the corner, and like he has time and again in crunch time, he delivered. White’s 3-pointer with 28 seconds to go was the difference as the Celtics escaped with a 108-105 victory over the Raptors.“I loved our character today,” Kristaps Porzingis told NBC Sports Boston. “It wasn’t our best game and nobody was like, hot and going, but I saw some big plays.”It certainly wasn’t pretty. The Celtics had a 16-point lead after a dominant secon...
