Firefighters rescue dog from icy waters

HINGHAM, Mass. -- Firefighters went out on thin ice Friday afternoon to rescue a dog that fell into the slushy water.
Olly, a 2-year-old black lab, ran onto the ice after some geese when he got stranded 100 feet into Hingham Harbor.
Firefighters went out onto the unsafe ice to rescue Olly. "I said come on buddy, you got to give me a hand and he actually had enough energy to come towards me," said Jim Sheard, of the Hingham Fire Dept. Sheard said that they were able to make a connection, but at this point they were both exhausted. "I was able to pull his collar underneath my hands and his leash wrapped around my foot, so I had two points of connection with the animal," said Sheard.
Two other firefighters worked hard to bring Sheard and Olly to land.Olly was taken to a truck to warm up and then taken to the vet in good condition. "Dogs definitely have a sense that your there to help," said Sheard.

L-test hell for S Korean driver

A South Korean grandmother has failed her written driving test 771 times.
Police in the city of Jeonju said the 68-year-old woman has taken, and failed, the written test repeatedly since April 2005.
She failed the exam once again on Monday but has said that she will continue trying.
The woman, identified only by her family name Cha, has repeatedly scored between 30 and 50 marks, below the pass mark of 60 out of 100.
The Korea Times reports that Mrs Cha sells food and household items door to door at apartment complexes.
She currently carries the items in a handcart, but thought that she might need a car for her business.
Police estimate she has spent more than four million won (£2,000) to take the written test, with each test costing 6,000 won, in addition to other expenses.
"I feel sorry every time I see Cha fail. When she passes, I'll make a commemorative tablet myself and give it to her," says Park Jung-seok, a traffic police officer.
Mrs Cha has said that she will be back for another attempt. If she passes, then she can begin the practical test.
