• Roberts Elementary School in Medford, Mass., remains closed after more than 130 students and staff members were sickened with what officials believe is norovirus

• Health officials examined the school's kitchen and do not believe it is the source of the outbreak

• A professional company was brought in to deep-clean the school

A school in Massachusetts remains closed for deep cleaning after an outbreak of the virulentnorovirus infectionhas sickened more than 130 students and staff members.

Roberts Elementary School in Medfordoriginally announcedthe closure on Dec. 10, explaining that "there were over 130 student absences at the Roberts today, with further students and staff reporting at school today feeling symptoms of an upset stomach."

"We believe the cause of this outbreak is related to the increased spread of suspected Norovirus," the statement read.

As a result, the school would be closed the following day, Dec. 11; That's when Suzanne B. Galusi, Interim Superintendent of Medford Public Schools, and Michelle Crowell, Roberts Elementary Principal, sent anothercommunicationthat the school would remain closed for a second day due to additional cases of suspected norovirus.

"More families have informed building and district leadership in the last 24 hours of their child experiencing symptoms of a stomach bug. Additionally, at this time, over 20 staff members at Roberts have notified the district of experiencing similar symptoms. Student and staff attendance rates are normal across all other schools in the district, both yesterday and today," the statement read.

Roberts Elementary remains closed for an extended deep clean. School officials explained, "A professional company is currently performing a deep clean of the school today, which includes all classrooms, door knobs, kitchen equipment, and frequently touched surfaces. They will finish their deep clean later today."

The U.S. is at the beginning of a norovirus surge, with the virus at "high" levels in wastewater, according toToday,which reports that in the coming weeks, cases are expected to rise.

Norovirus — which can cause uncontrollable vomiting and diarrhea, along with stomach pain and nausea — commonly spreads in close quarters. Outbreaks frequently happen in dorms, schools and on cruise ships. An AIDA Cruises ship currently on a 133-day world tour with stops in the U.S., England, Mexico, Japan, and South Africa is dealing with an ongoingoutbreak of the virusthat has sickened more than 100 passengers and crew members.

The way it spreads is as nauseating as the virus itself: "You can get norovirus by accidentally getting tiny particles of feces (poop) or vomit in your mouth from a person infected with norovirus," theU.S. Centers for Disease Controlsays. "If you get norovirus illness, you can shed billions of norovirus particles that you can't see without a microscope. It only takes a few norovirus particles to make you and other people sick."

That's why it also spreads so easilyvia food, when meals are prepared by an infected person who didn't correctly wash their hands. However, school officials shared that the cafeteria and kitchen were inspected by the Medford Board of Health & the Department of Public Health, and reported that the outbreak "is not related to any school or kitchen equipment."

The best way to curb the spread of norovirus is by washing your hands, the CDC says — and Roberts Elementary School officials reminded families of that in their letter. "The best way to avoid the spread of Norovirus is to wash your hands for at least 20 seconds with soap and water; hand sanitizer is not effective," they wrote.

They also urged all students and staff to wait at least 24 hours after experiencing "vomit-like symptoms" before returning to school. The letter concluded, "Maintaining a safe and clean learning environment for our students and staff is our top priority, and we thank you for your understanding."

BURLINGTON — Floodwaters began to recede on Friday afterhistoric inundation in Washington state, but the areas hardest hit by flooding could face another wave of atmospheric river next week, and more inundation is looming.

"This situation is not over and it's not going to be over again in a couple of days," said Robert Ezelle, the director of Washington state's emergency management division, and that several river systems were expected to see another wave of moderate flooding.

For most in the state, Friday offered a respite. Officials had worried that a system of dikes along the Skagit River would fail, and potentially inundate parts of Mount Vernon, a riverside town of about 35,000.

And while the river did see record flows at Mount Vernon, both the dikes and a downtown floodwall held up. The city isn't out of the woods yet — Ezelle said the Skagit could return to a major flood stage next week.

In the nearby town of Burlington, the river did overtop a slough off the Skagit. Officials sent a warning early Friday morning to evacuate for all 11,000 Burlington residents as some neighborhoods and roadways flooded, though not all of them ultimately needed to leave.

"In the middle of the night, about a thousand people had to flee their homes in a really dire situation," Gov. Bob Ferguson said in a news conference on Friday afternoon.

The flood eventhas set records across Washington state and it prompted officials to ask about 100,000 people to evacuate this week, forced dozens of rescues and caused widespread destruction of roads and other infrastructure.

Washington state is prone to intense spells of fall rainfall, but these storms have been exceptional. The atmospheric rivers this week dumped as much as 16 inches of rain in Washington's Cascade mountains over about three days, according to National Weather Service data.

Because many rivers and streams were already running high and the soil was already saturated, the water tore through lowland communities. The Skagit River system is the third biggest on the U.S. west coast, and at Mount Vernon, this is the highest the river has ever run in recorded history.

"There has been no reported loss of life at this time," Ferguson said. "The situation is very dynamic, but we're exceedingly grateful."

By Friday afternoon, while many roadways near Burlington remained closed, parts of downtown bustled with car traffic, as national guardsmen were waving people away from road closures and curious residents were out snapping photos of the swollen Skagit. Downstream, in the town of Conway, a tree trunk and the metal siding of a trailer could be seen racing away in the current.

The dramatic week of flooding sets the stage for a difficult recovery, in a growing state that's already struggling to provide shelter to homeless residents. It's not clear how many homes have been damaged, but neighborhoods in dozens of towns and cities took on water. Recovery won't be quick — afterflooding in 2021, some residents who lost their homes were displaced for months.

President Donald Trump on Friday signed the state's request for an expedited emergency declaration, which will enable people to seek individual assistance from the Federal Emergency Management Agency for things like temporary housing and home repairs. The measure will also allow state and local governments to seek federal assistance to remove debris and repair roads, bridges, water facilities and other infrastructure.

The Trump administration has made suggestions it would overhaulFEMAandprove less disaster relief to states. In left-leaning Washington, the president's pen to paper offered another an initial sigh of relief.

"One of the challenges that we've had with the administration in the past is that they don't really want to do longer term recovery," said Rep. Rick Larsen, who represents Burlington and Mount Vernon. In an interview with NBC News, Larsen added that the declaration was "an indication that they understand how disastrous this particular disaster is and we're not out of it yet."

The next atmospheric river storm on tap will likely arrive Sunday night.

Jeff Michalski, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service in Seattle, said a few days of dry weather will allow most rivers to recede, before they begin to swell again on Tuesday, as the rainfall pulses downstream.

Lowland parts of western Washington will receive about an inch of rain during the storm; the mountains could get up to three.

"It could possibly either prolong flooding or cause renewed flooding on some of the rivers," Michalski said. "A few rivers may bump back into flood stage moving into the Tuesday, Wednesday time frame, but we're not expecting widespread major flood levels like we have seen."

After Wednesday, the forecast calls for more rain in lowland Washington and heavy snow in the Cascades.

"It does not let up," Michalski said.

Ferguson said the situation would remain "dynamic and unpredictable" over the next week.

"This is not just a one- or two- day crisis. These water levels have been historic and they're going to remain very high for an extended period of time," Ferguson said. "That puts pressure on our infrastructure. The infrastructure has, for the most part, withstood the challenge so far."

The last time Sota Keisuke's friend saw him, his mangled body was being dragged into a bush, staining the forest floor red with blood.

Search and rescue teams followed a trail of discarded clothing before finding the 26-year-old hiker's body still hanging lifeless in the killer's mouth.

Keisuke was the latest in arecord number of peoplekilled by bears in Japan this year.

Climate change and a poor nut harvest have forced the animals out of hibernation in the mountains and into residential areas, leading to 13 deaths, around 230 attacks and tens of thousands of sightings this year.

Bears have been spotted entering gardens, homes, supermarkets, schools and bathrooms, forcing the government to deploy the army and issue warnings.

As sightings soar, local governors say they are unable to stop the surge in attacks that have led Japan to name 2025 the "year of the bear".

The encounters are often bloody and at times deadly.

When Keisuke's parents were called to identify the body, police advised them to only look at his face due to the extent of his injuries.

Data from his GPS watch found by rescuers showed that his body was moved after his death, suggesting the bear came back after the kill and dragged him away.

Japan's shrinking and ageing population has also left elderly villagers in rural areas particularly vulnerable.

In July, Seiko Takahashi, 81, was found lying in a pool of blood at her home in Akita, northeastern Japan, with animal footprints dotted around her corpse.

In October, an elderly mushroom picker was found decapitated in woods near Iwate – in the same northeastern region of Tohoku–with scratches covering his body.

And in November, the body of Kiyo Goto, 79, was found in the mountains of Akita. Police believe she had also been picking mushrooms. The severity of her facial injuries suggest she was mauled to death.

Japan is home to two types of bears: brown bears, which can weigh more than 450kg and are found in Hokkaido, Japan's northernmost island, and Asiatic black bears, which weigh between 80kg and 200kg and are found on the mainland.

The bears predominantly eat acorns, beechnuts and chestnuts, but a decline in harvests because of warmer temperatures and erratic rains has left the bears hungry and more likely to venture down from the mountains in search of other food, officials say.

Scientists have found that rising winter temperatures are also disrupting hibernation, keeping bears awake and in need of food when they should be asleep.

Urbanisation has also left many of Japan's rural areas less inhabited, giving bears the opportunity to venture more freely than they once would have.

Human populations in the hotspot areas of Akita and Iwate have dropped by 30 per cent in two decades. Meanwhile, experts estimate there are 44,000 Asiatic black bears in Japan today, up from 15,000 in 2012, and 12,000 brown bears, more than double its population 30 years ago.

Dr Dave Garshelis, a former wildlife research scientist and bear expert in the US, told The Telegraph: "People are moving towards urban areas for work. As they leave, the areas are becoming more wild so bears can move in.

"Now there's no buffer any longer between the wild bear population and even the urban interface. They butt right up against these places with dense housing developments.

"As they get habituated to people, they end up walking down the street like a dog and looking in garbage cans."

Hunting also used to help control population numbers, but licences are down from 517,800 in 1975 to 213,400 in 2020.

The spate of attacks has fuelled a row between the government, conservationists, hunters and the public in Japan, with groups at odds on how to protect themselves and the animals.

Some call for leniency for the bears, casting them as victims of human-caused climate change. Others say the deadly animals should be culled.

Dr Garshelis said: "The number of attacks is more than anybody would have expected.

"The attacks are not really caused by things that people are doing wrong – sometimes people are just walking in some area and a bear comes bolting out and attacks them, which is pretty unusual. It's not a prey thing and it's not like the bears are malnourished."

The scientist recommends "habitat manipulations" to make the urban areas less attractive, including using bear-proof bins.

He also believes in culling, suggesting that Japan could invite international hunters to help control numbers.

"The part of this demographic issue is that the people that were the traditional hunters have aged and there isn't a crop of young people who want to hunt, so the level of hunting has become quite low," Dr Garshelis added.

"There needs to be more emphasis on having prefectural governments hiring wildlife biologists to manage and track populations."

Ohnishi Naoki, a scientist and expert on bears, said the casualty numbers are comparable to natural disasters like tsunamis.

He told Japanese news outlet Nippon: "In the short term, I support combining local government and hunting association efforts with self-defence force assistance. Police should also use rifles and municipalities should employ 'government hunters'.

"In the medium to long term, we'll have to go into the mountains and actively reduce the bear population," he added.

The government has now allocated a larger budget to recruit bear hunters and relaxed gun laws to make it easier for people to shoot bears.

Robot wolves with red eyes are also being used to deter the animals, glowing red and making noises when approached.

However, experienced hunters are still often left to deal with the dangerous animals themselves.

Katsuo Harada, an 84-year-old bear hunter, trains two apprentices and still goes into the wild to hunt down the animals, according to CNN.

Nearly 20 years ago, a bear gouged out his eye and mauled his ear.

The animal's skull still sits beside him today, a reminder of how quickly predator can become prey.

Boston Blue's newest episode really affectedDonnie Wahlberg's character, Danny, who got emotional about his relationship with son Sean.

During the Friday, December 12, episode of the hit CBS series, Danny (Wahlberg) and Lena (Sonequa Martin-Green) were put on a case involving a young child who saw his father get murdered. Danny was visibly shaken up and continued to be drivenby his personal connection to the incident.

He was able to solve the case by the end of the episode, which only made Danny want to call his son Sean (Mika Amonsen) — and father Frank Reagan (Tom Selleck) — even more once the job was done. Boston Blue has touched on Danny's attempts to mend his previously strained relationship with his son.

Danny's journey in New York was featured on CBS'Blue Bloods, which ran from 2010 to 2024. The spinoff, which premiered in October, kicked off with Danny visiting Boston after Sean ended up in a coma. This version of Sean looked a little different after the role was previouslyplayed byAndrew Terraciano.

"There's been some negativity, for sure," Amonsen exclusively toldUs Weeklylast month about taking over the role. "But when I look under those posts that have the negativity, there's a lot of fans rallying for Sean and people saying that they really enjoyed this character that I've created — or my version of character."

Amonsen noted thathe wanted to makeBlue Bloodsfans happy with his performance, saying, "They're really enjoying the show and they love where it's going in terms of Sean and that makes me happy."

The actor recalled feeling "a ton of pressure" over the situation.

"I felt the pressure to respect an actor before me because I wanted to respect Andrew the best I could. There were even certain visual choices that I made that I wanted to keep in terms of hair styling and certain ways of being [as Sean]," he continued. "I really want to maintain Sean as close as I can in the ways that I do it out of respect for this character that everyone loves — but also the character Andrew built."

He continued: "When I booked the show, it all happened really quickly. It was within about a week's time and I was really thrown into it quickly. I did binge watch as much as I could and I found doing the later seasons was more helpful. I wanted to get a sense of who Sean was toward the end of the show. I really wanted to get a sense of his character at that point into adulthood and his relationship with Danny."

Terraciano, meanwhile,broke his silence toUsabout the shakeup.

"I had somebody call me — actually the day that I was graduating — and they had spoken to my mom and she called me [crying]. They were like, 'They might be looking for a different Sean,'" Terraciano shared withUsin December about the onscreen change. "Shortly after we got the news, Donnie called me. It was a really beautiful moment of getting to hear from an old friend but also somebody that you respect so much and have learned so much from."

Terraciano expressed gratitudefor his time onBlue Bloods.

"It's beautiful because you'll always remember every single line and every day that you had the opportunity to be that character," he shared. "It doesn't mean for even a second that somebody else can't go and do something beautiful with it."

Terraciano continued: "I got the joy of playing Sean, and I got to send him off into the world. Now somebody else gets that joy. We're both getting to show what we do and then send Sean off into the world."

KOTZEBUE, Alaska (AP) — The low autumn light turned the tundra gold as James Schaeffer, 7, and his cousin Charles Gallahorn, 10, raced down a dirt path by the cemetery on the edge of town. Permafrost thaw had buckled the ground, tilting wooden cross grave markers sideways. The boys took turns smashing slabs of ice that had formed in puddles across the warped road.

Their great-grandfather, Roswell Schaeffer, 78, trailed behind. What was a playground to the kids was, for Schaeffer – an Inupiaq elder and prolific hunter – a reminder of what warming temperatures had undone: the stable ice he once hunted seals on, the permafrost cellars that kept food frozen all summer, the salmon runs and caribou migrations that once defined the seasons.

Now another pressure loomed. A 211-mile mining road that would cut through caribou and salmon habitat was approved by the Trump administration this fall, though the project still faces lawsuits and opposition from environmental and native groups. Schaeffer and other critics worry it could open the region to outside hunters and further devastate already declining herds. "If we lose our caribou – both from climate change and overhunting – we'll never be the same," he said. "We're going to lose our culture totally."

Still, Schaeffer insists on taking the next generation out on the land, even when the animals don't come. It was late September and he and James would normally have been at their camp hunting caribou. But the herd has been migrating later each year and still hadn't arrived – a pattern scientists link to climate change, mostly caused by the burning of oil, gas and coal. So instead of caribou, they scanned the tundra for swans, ptarmigan and ducks.

A lifetime of hunting

Caribou antlers are stacked outside Schaeffer's home. Traditional seal hooks and whale harpoons hang in his hunting shed. Inside, a photograph of him with a hunted beluga is mounted on the wall beside the head of a dall sheep and a traditional mask his daughter Aakatchaq made from caribou hide and lynx fur.

He got his first caribou at 14 and began taking his own children out at 7. James made his first caribou kill this past spring with a .22 rifle. He teaches James what his father taught him: that power comes from giving food and a hunter's responsibility is to feed the elders.

"When you're raised an Inupiaq, your whole being is to make sure the elders have food," he said.

But even as he passes down those lessons, Schaeffer worries there won't be enough to sustain the next generation – or to sustain him. "The reason I've been a successful hunter is the firm belief that, when I become old, people will feed me," he said. "My great-grandson and my grandson are my future for food."

That future feels tenuous

These days, they're eating less hunted food and relying more on farmed chicken and processed goods from the store. The caribou are fewer, the salmon scarcer, the storms more severe. Record rainfall battered Northwest Alaska this year, flooding Schaeffer's backyard twice this fall alone. He worries about the toll on wildlife and whether his grandchildren will be able to live in Kotzebue as the changes accelerate.

"It's kind of scary to think about what's going to happen," he said.

That afternoon, James ducked into the bed of Schaeffer's truck and aimed into the water. He shot two ducks. Schaeffer helped him into waders – waterproof overalls – so they could collect them and bring them home for dinner, but the tide was too high. They had to turn back without collecting the ducks.

The changes weigh on others, too. Schaeffer's friend, writer and commercial fisherman Seth Kantner grew up along the Kobuk River, where caribou once reliably crossed by the hundreds of thousands.

"I can hardly stand how lonely it feels without all the caribou that used to be here," he said. "This road is the largest threat. But right beside it is climate change."
