		Anyone 
		who thinks that the city council doesn't labor over their decisions 
		hasn't been following the story of the bridge on Oglesby Avenue. This 
		week the council jumped a big hurdle when they came to a decision. The 
		bridge will be removed, probably sometime this spring or summer. 
		There still remains one big decision: what type of barrier to erect to 
		prevent vehicles from driving off into the creek.

																	buckling of 
																	U.S. 89 
																	about 25 
																	miles south 
																	of Page, 
																	Ariz., on Wednesday. The

																	is rerouting 
																	motorists to 
																	other 
																	roadways off 
																	the heavily 
																	traveled 
																	highway 
																	between

																	what caused 
																	a 150-foot 
																	section of 
																	pavement to 
																	buckle is 
																	not related 
																	to the 
																	weather and 
																	might be 
																	what ADOT 
																	calls a 
																	"geologic 
																	event."

				This Wednesday photo released by ABC shows 
				Robin Roberts, seated at left, George Stephanopoulos, and, standing, from 
				left, Josh Elliott, Sam Champion and Lara Spencer on the set 
				of "Good Morning America" in New York. Five months after 
				undergoing a bone marrow transplant, Roberts is back on 
				television in the morning. Roberts said Wednesday she'd been "waiting 174 days to say this: 
				'Good morning, America.'" The 
				morning-show host is recovering from MDS, a blood and bone 
				marrow disease.
