A long slog through the snow for this Devon doctor
Sarah Gosling
BBC News Online
Some people might find work to be a long hard slog, but with Storm Emma this week it's been that just to get to the building for this doctor.
We've been hearing a lot of stories of difficult commutes to work, but Dr Steve Harris of Beacon Medical Group's journey has to be one of the toughest.
Rather than cave into the elements and let his patients down, he trudged for almost four miles from Cornwood to make it to the group's Ivybridge practice on time.

Rob England
BBC News Online
Royal Devon and Exeter NHS Foundation Trust has appealed to nurses and other clinical staff to work over the weekend at its Wonford site.

Staff unable to get to work are asked to contact the hospital, as well as those from "neighbouring hospitals" who live close by, to help out.
"Our greatest need at this time is for registered nurses," a spokesman said.
“We are also looking for other volunteer staff to come in this weekend and help
run our severe weather accommodation and transport hubs.
"If any other 4x4 drivers can help this
weekend please contact the Exeter Transport Hub on 01392 403913 as soon as
possible."

Ben Chapple
BBC News Online
The members of a panel - that will decide which campaign groups will be given official status and taxpayers' money ahead of Guernsey's first referendum in October - have been suggested.
Former bailiff Sir de Vic Carey, Jurat Stephen Jones and Graham Daldry, the Creative Director of Specsavers, have been put forward by the States Assembly and Constitution Committee.
The referendum will consider options for electoral reform including island-wide voting and a mixture of island-wide and district or parish based elections.
There are five options due to be considered in the vote on 10 October and the official campaign group is entitled to a £5,000 grant as part of the campaign for their preferred option.
There can only be one official campaign group for each of the options.
Option A: One island-wide district, elections held every four years. All 38 deputies elected at same time
Option B: Seven electoral districts, elections every four years. Each district elects five or six deputies
Option C: One island-wide district to elect 10 island-wide deputies and seven districts to elect remaining 28. Elections every four years with island-wide held before district
Option D: Four electoral districts, with elections every four years. Each district elects nine, 10 or 11 deputies
Option E: One island-wide district with successful candidates serving six years. Elections held every two years for a third of deputies so 12 or 13 elected each time
The girl, who has not been named, was playing in the snow when a car crashed into a house in Bodrigan Road in treacherous conditions, hitting the child as well.
The car was removed from the scene on Friday. Investigations into the incident are ongoing.
Armand Toms, Mayor of Looe, said: "This has reverberated around the community and it's actually brought the community together because they are going to support the family.
"The family are well known. Everybody I've spoken to today is absolutely gutted that this has happened and the offers of help have poured in."

Katrina
Green, director of Bay Care, said local volunteers transporting staff with 4x4 vehicles had been "incredible".

"We had a member of the care team walk three hours
yesterday for a single visit to a lady at high risk, and we’ve care workers
today on foot, while roads are still impassable," Ms Green said.
“Today, I’m expecting three hours of care contact with the client to take about 10
hours of care worker’s time," she added.
The agency, along with Unicare Devon, is appealing for further 4x4 volunteers to come forward in the Torbay, south or west Devon area.
