SEOUL, South Korea (AP) – The Iowa-based operators of the ACT college entrance exams in South Korea and Hong Kong say they had to cancel today (Saturday), after finding out the tests had been breached.  ACT spokesman Edward Colby said Saturday the cancellation affected about 5,500 test takers who will receive refunds of test fees. Colby says that the exams will be administrated in South Korea and Hong Kong again in September.

South Korea has struggled to clamp down on cheating on standardized English and college admission tests and similar problems have been reported in China.

Briquettes from a charcoal grill getting onto a wooden deck are to blame for a fire early this (Saturday) morning, north of Atlantic.

McNees said when they arrived on scene, the deck and side of an attached portion of a home was on fire. Crews were able to get a quick knockdown of the flames. Still, about half the deck was lost, and the home sustained some smoke damage.The Chief said Smith had been barbecuing on the deck and threw water on the flames at around 12:30-a.m., but it appears some charcoal might have slipped through the bottom of the grill or blown out, onto the deck, according to McNees.

Firefighters remained on the scene until about 5:30. No injuries were reported.
