County prepares to begin road paving project BY DEBORAH BUCKHALTER dbu'c hallerp 'cloridan con' Jackson County Com- missioners have hired Baxter's Asphalt to resur- face a 2,300-foot section of College Drive and all of the 3,500 feet. River For- est Road, along with some other Marianna-area roads which are included in the county's current $10 mil- lion extensive road paving project. County Engineer Larry Alvarez said the work should begin in tOo or three weeks, and should be finished by the end of *March or first of April. A short section of River Forest Road had already been widened'and a turn lane added, back when Chipola College created Prough Drive on campus. When that happened. Riv- er Forest became a prima- ry entrance'to the school, as it connects to Prough. The rest of the road, though, has some rough spots, as does intersecting College Drive. There are several other roads in this $474,643 package of improvements. Fish Hatchery Road is one of those. Alvarez said that, while most of the road work in the project will not result in excessive traffic delays for motorists, the Fish Hatchery project might be a different story. The road, which begins at the terminus of College Drive and runs 3,500 feet before the pavement ends, has dips,and other serious problems and must be re- worked. To do the work the county may have to create some temporary de- tours and /or hold traffic at times during the work period. Other roads included in See ROADS.

Jackson County Commissioners hired the company to do the work last week and engaged Preble-Rish to provide construction engineering inspection services on the job. FROM SPORTS TO SPATULRS Getting a kick out of cooking BY DEBORAH BUCKHALTER dbuckhalter@iclloridan corn When Andrew Isabella lived in Jackson County, he was probably best known as "Izzy." a football player for Marianna High Schod ITe was a primary punter and field- goal kicker for MHS and graduated in 2007. Fans might remember that he once kicked a 72-yard punt out of the back of the end zone. He was an all-state punter for the Big Bend, and one of the top three kickers in the region. He got a football scholarship to Webber International University in Polk County, but shortly into that first academic year, he steered his life in a different direction. He went back to his first love cooking. He went to culinary school at Keiser University, graduating there in 2010. He is now second in command at No. 246, a restaurant in the north Georgia town,of Decatur, about five miles outside Atlanta. As the kitchen's sous chef, he prepares and cooks food, manages line cooks, butchers meat, makes pasta, sauces and stock from scratch, and carries- out other responsibilities. His calling made itself known early in life. Some of his favorite childhood memories involve sitting on a counter watching his mom, Lee Isabella, prepare meals for the family table. Her talent and the love that went into her work inspired him. In his childhood, there weren't many cooking shows -just the classic Julia Child and a male chef who had his own show but Izzy and his mother watched those religiously. After an episode ended, he'd cut out pictures of the ingredients in the dishes the chefs made, put the pictures in pans and pretend to cook them. When was five years old, he knew exactly what he wanted for Christmas that year - a boy's Easy Bake oven. His parents could only find a powder-pink girl's edition, so they stuck a piece of duct tape over the word 'girl's' and wrote the word 'boy's' on Sthe tape. For the next three years or so, he whipped up many a dish by the power of the oven's mighty 120-watt light bulb. Heoften aban- doned the Easy Bake recipes, trying to repli- cate his mother's dishes, instead. His efforts weren't always successful -the light bulb can only do so much but his fasciiiation with the attempt never waned. He doesn't remember what happened to his old Easy Bake he figures it must have broken down at some point but regrets that he didn't keep it no matter what its condition. "I didn't know it was going to be such a MA Rl r INNER, rtoRFLOtA A one-time star kicker on the Marianna High School football team, Andrew Isabella is now the sous chef at the restaurant "No. 246" near Atlanta. sentimental tdol,'r he said. "I don't have it but 1 kinda wish I did so I could pass it on to my kids." His mother remembers when she realized that her son might find his life's path in the kitchen rather than the football field. "Back when he was in high school, some friends of ours had a tragic loss and he went over to their house one night and cooked them a meal. When he came home, talking about the experience and'howit made him feel to be a small part of their healing, there was something special abopt the light in his eyes arid in the sound of his voice. Right then I thought, 'maybe my boy is going to do something with this.' Andrew remembers it well, himself. "It really hit me then," he said. "Just the pleasure of other people enjoying what I take pride in and have the pleasure of do- ing; itwas very memorable to me, to be part of helping them." At Keiser, he started his studies in a class of 22. By the second month, the roster had dwindled to 12. By the end of the program he was the only one of the original 22 to graduate. "That was my life at that time, my number one priority," Isabella said. "I was an aver- age B student in high school and didn't re- ally study, but in college, I m&de the Dean's List, and my dad (Vince), was thrilled. I re- ally had such a passion for it." Isabella said he prides himself on spe- cializing in seasonal and local foods at No. 246, and is well-versed in everything from French to modern American cuisines. He has one-time "Top Chef" contestant Tracy Bloom to thank for his big break in the restaurant industry. She was the execu- tive chef at Table 1280 in Georgia and Isa- bella was there as a line cook when she got the chance to compete on "Top Chef." That opportunity meant she'd be away from the restaurant for several weeks. She put her sous chef in the executive position for the period and, having been impressed with the leadership skills she'd seen in Isabella over time, she moved him temporarily into the sous chef's slot. When she came back, the two men shift- ed back into their old jobs, but Bloom didn't want to see Isabella languish forever on the line. She recommended him to Luma, an- other restaurant that needed a sous chef. From there, he went to No. 246 with the See ISABELLA, Page 3A MARKSKINNERFLORIDAN A local pecan grower wants Jackson County Commissioners to enact an ordinance making it a. misdemeanor to pick up pecans that fall into the public right-of-way from the overhanging limbs. Grower asks forpecan poaching ordinance BY DEBORAH BUCKHALTER dbuckalter@jcfloridan.com, Pecan-grower Richard Harrison is trying to get Jackson County Commis- sioners to enact an ordi- nance that would make it against the lawto pick up the pecans that fall from private property onto the public right of way during harvest season, or from limbs that overhang the right-of-way. Last Tuesday, he made his second attempt, of- fering the board a sample ordinance from- Georgia and saying that a state leg- islator here may attempt to get such a law on the books for Florida at large. Harri- son said that when pecan tree branches extend over roads or ditches, strangers sometimes pick the nuts that fall on the ground below. He said he thinks that's unfair and that, with no ordinance preventing it, the poachers then feel free to pick from the over- hanging limbs and some- times go onto the private property nearby to harvest more nuts. He wants the county to declare it a misdemeanor offense to'pick from the right-of-way, saying he hopes that would also pre- vent the ultimate trespass See PECANS, Page 3A s CLASSIFIEDS...8A ) ENTERTAINMENT..7A .

Malone School will celebrate literacy week Special to the Floridan M alone School, in celebration of SFlorida Literacy Week Jan. 14-18, has sev- eral activities planned in accordance with the week's theme: "Take the Lead and Read." On Wednesday, Jan. 9, a contest between grade , levels (K, 1-2,3-5, 6-8 and 9-12) began for AR points. Each grade level/teacher has a car and race tracks are posted in the hallways. Each day, cars are moved based on the number ofAR points earned the previous day. The contest continues through Jan. 17 and the winners will be an- nounced the next day.

Malone School wraps up Florida Literacy Week activities Friday, with a morning parade in which elementary school stu- dents will be dressed as their favorite book character, followed by the announcement of winners for the reading race. Isabella From Page 1A blessing of the Luma ex- ecutive chef, who is best friends with the chef at No. 246. Isabella said he would one day like to open a res- taurant of his own, but is very happy to be where he is right now. "I'm the eyes and ears of the kitchen," he said. "I watch food costs, labor costs, manage employ- ees, we go over menus and develop new ideas together, and I enjoy it all. I'm learning a lot, from .preparing a dish to the business aspect, mak- ing sure the numbers are right for the restaurant, so it's a great experience for me." Isabella is so busy with the restaurant now that he doesn't even have a television., He works at Realtors welcome new board officers for 2013 Special to the Floridan The Chipola Area Board of REALTORS swore in their 2013 officers recent- ly at a special General Membership meeting. Ouida Morris, a past Flor- ida District 8 vice presi- dent, gave the oath to this year's board of directors. The 2013 members are: President Cresh Harri- son, President-elect Pat Furr, Past President Jim Gibbs, Secretary/Trea- surer Kathy Milton, and Directors Ann Jones, Dennis Mundy, Bettie Slay, Mary Beth Kaminski, Stacy' Borges, Sheila Bar- bee and Jim Palmer. Past President Jim Gibbs thanked everyone who had been on the board for 2012 for their time and service. Most seats on the Board are for .three years. Phoebe Mey- er, Diana Kosciw and Deborah Mathewuse least 12 hours a day, and many times pushes into 15 hours. A typical week runs 75 hours. But when he does have access to TV, he usually browses through the channels to find some- thing related to food. He likes the show 'Chopped,' in which chefs compete to prepare their best dish- es using ingredients that are kept secret until they open their food baskets and commence cooking in three intense, timed rounds. Isabella once applied to appear on the. show and may try again. "I like the uncertainty of Chopped. We did that kind of thing a few times when we were school. It's about thinking on your toes. I like the excitement of it.

Don Cornelius re- mains as the board's asso- ciation executive and has had that position since 2011. The Chipola Area Board of REALTORS is char- tered by the National Association of Realtors and is also part of the Florida Realtors. It cov- ers a geographic area that includes Calhoun, Holmes, Washington and Jackson counties. They can be reached online at www.ChipolaAreaBoard- ofRealtors.com or by call- ing 526-4030. I'm young to be a sous chef. I go into the kitchen every day thinking, 'What am I going to learn to- day?', so keeping an open mind and being ready to learn anything has brought me a long way so far.

Au- thorities dug up what they believe are the baby's re- mains in the backyard of the parent's former home last week. An officer called the state abuse hotline in October after Brittney Sierra com- plained that the father of her 5-month-old son, Don- trelle, made excuses when- ever she asked to see him. The couple were not mar- ried and had an on-and-off relationship. "She doesn't even know, I mean, whether the baby is even alive or not," an of- ficer said on a transcript of ihe call released Monday. When the operator asked what was going on in the case, the officer added, "We really just don't know the whereabouts of this child." Authorities charged Sier- ra, 21, and the baby's father, 27-year-old Calvin Melvin, with child neglect Friday. After talking with the cou- pie, they began digging in the backyard 'of their for- mer home and eventually unearthed a wooden box with human remains. The medical examiner is con- ducting DNA tests to iden- tify the remains. It is unclear why it took so long for authorities or fam- fly members to investigate the baby's whereabouts.

His company has picked up 100 percent of employees' health care costs every year except for this past year. "A lot of small business- es out there are seriously considering that they're going to have to go out of business because of the convoluted way this all plays out," said Williams, president of Marpan Sup- ply Company. Urbanek said about 50 percent of the small businesses his '6mpany talked with initially indi- cated they would opt out and pay a penalty for not providing coverage. But as Blue Cross Blue Shield of Florida is working with employers, that number has fallen below 20 per- cent, he said. The health plans that employers offer must meet two criteria. It must have an actuarial value of 60. perc.ipt and employees can't cntrib- ute more than 9.5 percent of their wages. If the plan doesn't meet that require- ment and an employee goes to exchange and gets a subsidy, the employer will get hit with a $3,000 penalty, said Urbanek. He also ticked off a list of likely additional costs that employers will face, extra administrative costs, counting seasonal work- ers as full time equivalents and increasing the age for which dependents can be covered. Democratic Sen: Darren Soto asked why the analy- sis did not include po- tential savings that could come from the law. "So we're talking about the costs of compliance' but we don't have any in- formation on what money would be saved by bring- ing all these folks into an insurance system so our premiums wouldn't go to subsidize their care which is currently uninsured," he said. * Committee Chair Sen. Joe Negron said the panel would consider those cost savings in future discussions. A House committee also met Monday to discuss health care but did not make any decisions and was still in the informa- tion gathering stage. Florida lawmakers are facing two major deci- sions regarding the fed- eral health overhaul. They must decide whether to expand Medicaid rolls to offer health coverage to more low-income fami- lies and whether to allow the feds to run an online health exchange or wheth- er to partner with them. Florida spends about $21 billion a year to cover nearly 3 million of the state's poorest residents, about half of whom are children. Haslam to introduce own school voucher proposal The Associated Press NASHVILLE, Tenn. Gov. Bill Haslam con- firmed Monday that he will introduce his own proposal to create a school Voucher program in Ten- nessee, though he de- clined to elaborate abopt which parents he wants to make eligible to use public money to send their chil- dren to private schools. The Republican gov- ernor would only tell re- porters after an education discussion with, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush that his voucher bill will be targeted at children from lower-income fami- lies who attend the state's worst schools. "We will have a voucher bill and we're working out the specifics on that, and talking with a lot of differ- ent parties," he said. Haslam last year per- suaded the Legislature to defer taking up voucher proposals while a task force he appointed stud- ied the various options on school choice.

It was the third consecu- tive loss for the Pirates, who also fell to Baton Rouge 68- 53 on Jan. 4 in their final nonconference game. The Pirates are led offen- sively by freshman guard Qiydar Davis, who is aver- aging 13.4 points pergame on 47.1 percent shooting from the field and 38.9 percent from the 3-point line. Davis also leads the team in rebounding at 6.4 per game.

Hornets FromPage'5A TheTigers led byas much as 14 in the third quarter, but Cottondale's senior stars Jerodd Blount andr DJ Roulhac spearheaded a Hornet rally to draw to within one, at the end of the period. Blount started theta run with a four-point playand then got a steal and break- away dunk, followed by another steal and two from Rolha fto cut the margin to six. Another triple by Blount ahd the a a driving layup by Roulhac cut the Chipley lead to one at 44-43. Roulhac started the fourth with another strong drive to the basket to put the Hornets in the lead, and Blount's fourth three of the night capped a 19- 0 run to put Cottondale ahead 49-44 with 7:10 to play. Chipley answered back with six straight points to regain the lead, with .a,jumper by Blount put- ting the Hornets back up before a bucket by Forrest gave the Tigers the lead at 52-51 with 4:03 remaining. But back-to-back threes by Roulhac and 'Blount moved Cottondale in front 57-52 with just under two minutes to play. A basket by Kobe Mc- Crary got Chipley back to within three, and after an ill-advised 3-point attempt by Blount at the other end, Tyrome Sharpe came back down and drove to the hoop for two more to make it 57-56 with 1:21 on the clock. After a Cottondale turn- over, the Tigers took the lead for good on Forrest's shot, and the Hornets were unable to convert on their next possession. A strange officiating se- quence followed on the ensuing Chipley inbounds play, with Carlon Smith taking a pass and draw- ing contact and a whistle on a play that-appeared to be either a foul on Cot- tondale ,or a travel on Chipley. However, the official did not make a call and even- tually ruled it to be an in- advertent whistle and gave the ball back to the Tigers to inbound again, with the two seconds that came off the clock on the play un- able to be put back on by rule. Those seconds proved crucial to the Hornets, who just failed to beat the clock on their final posses- sion after. Chipley's Logan Justice missed the front end of a 1-and-1 with 8.5 seconds to play. Blount hurried down the court after securing the rebound and missed a runner on the right base- line, with Walker going high for the rebound and putback attempt, which went in but came just after the final horn had sounded. -The Hornets lost. in similar fashion Friday night, falling by a point in overtime to Sneads with Walker again hav- ing a chance to win'it on a last-second putback, with that shot beating the clock but falling just off the rim. "It's a little frustrating be- cause we pride ourselves on winning cl6se games," Cottondale coach Chris Obert said of the last two losses. "A lot of times, we're able to pull those out, but the last two nights we haven't beenable to. That's a trend that we've got to stop. We've got to change that and get back to win- ning those. We usually do a good job in those situ- ations, but we didn't this week. But we'll work to get better." Blount finished with 31 points to lead the Hornets, with Roulhac adding 20. For Chipley, Sharpe had 13 points, while Forrest led the team with 28, includ- ing three big buckets in the fourth' quarter. S"'lent is a real good play- er. He deserves the praise that he gets," Obert said of the Tigers' 6-foot-3 fresh- man. "He's a good player and a good kid. He played a real good game. I thought we did a pretty good job on him at times, but it's just hard to hold him down all night. "I thought we showed a little toughness to bounce back and take the lead, but they just made one more play than we did. Overall, I think the kids did pretty well, but. (Forrest) just made a tough shot: You've got to give them credit" It was the second straight game the Hornets have been done in by a dreadful second, quarter, losing the period 23-7 Saturday after being outscored 17-0 by SneadA. In the other six periods and overtime, the Hornets outscored Sneads and Chi- pley 103-72. With the loss, the Hornets fell to 10-8 on the season, while the Tigers improved to 15-2. Cottondale will return to action tonight with a big district road contest against Wewa:tihka. Chipola From Page 5A "Going back and watch- ing the film three or four times now, and also watch- ing with the players, we were all disappointed with our effort defensively," he said. "We allowed them to get too many easy buck- ets. We also got caught watching off the ball and didn't do a great job of keeping people in front of 'us. We were disappointed with the defensive effort.

The Lady Pirates lead the nation in second-chance .points, and with the Lady Indians possessing no players taller than 6-foot, they'll need to put forth a ,big effort on the glass to minimize the damage in the paint. "We have to make sure we pay attention to keep- ing them off the glass and keeping them from get- ting easy buckets," Frank- lin said.

The loss to the Raid- ers marked just the sec- ond time all season that the Indians were ,held below 70 points in a game. After tonight's game, the Indians will finish the week with a road test against Gulf Coast State on Saturday night. Chicola's SoonsorS Melvin Engineering Paul A. Donofro & Associates, Architects Rahal-Miller Chevrolet State Farm Insurance Tyndall Federal Credit Union Wal-Mart Coyle Mayo Insurance Agency with Brooks pulling in 7.5 per game. Chipola has had near- ly a week to prepare for tonight's game, which Franklin said was just fine with him despite having to stew over last week's loss for a little while longer. "When you lose, you al- ways want to jump back in' and get another win, but I think (the ime off) was good for us because we redirected our mindset on the defensive end of the court," he said. "We have to be able to put pressure on peo- ple and keep them in front of us. Hopefully, we're getting back to that." CHIPOLA VS.

These trips included lunches and dinners with my co-workers, sometimes in groups, sometimes not. At no time did I ever have the faintest interest in having an affair. But my husband thinks otherwise. During the entire time I traveled, he constantly accused me of sleeping with "somebody." I never once gave him a reason to think I was cheating. I recognized that this was just his way of dealing with his own insecurities and poor self-image. I have not worked for a number of years, but on occasion, he still insinuates that I had affairs. Instead of being supportive of my hard work then and now, he thinks it's more important to keep suggesting that I'm always looking for someone else to sleep with. How do I get him to stop? Not a Cheater Dear Not: Your husband sounds overly: suspicious. We don't mean to add to the problem, but sometimes those who are having affairs accuse the spouse of the same offense. Tell your husband that his continuing accusations undermine your trust and make you wonder what is really going on. Counseling could help get to the bottom of it. If he is unwilling, you can choose to turn a deag ear or get counseling on your own. However, if his accusations become more strident ,or more frequent,'this could indicate mental health or medical issues, and he should see his doctor. ri: IB: William James, an eminent 18th- and 19th-century psychologist, said, "To study the abnormal is the best way of understanding the normal." Today's deal seems to contain a normal play, but is it time for an abnormal one? South is in three no-trump. West leads the diamond king. What should declarer do? South had seven top tricks: one spade, one heart, one diamond and four clubs. He saw that at least two more tricks would come from spades. And since he knev a Bath Coup when he saw one, he played his low diamond at trick one. However, East had correctly played his diamond three. And West knew that his partner would have thrown out the jack or ace if he had held it, or played a high spot card. So West cleverly shifted to the heart jack. This time, East encouraged enthusiastically with his nine. Declarer ducked, but West continued with the heart 10, and East accurately overtook with his queen. Now South could not succeed. If he had taken this trick, crossed to the dummy with a club, and tried the spade finesse, West would have won with his king and led his last heart to give the defenders one spade, four hearts and one diamond. And if South had ducked the second heart, East would have reverted to diamonds, giving the defense one spade, two hearts and four diamonds (unless West 4 K43 V J10 7 + K Q 10 9 1 472 North 01-15-13 SQJ85 S 64 * 762 # AK103 East S962 ?KQ982 953 4984 East Pass All pass 8 South 4 A 10 7 VA53 AJ4 QJ65 Dealer: South Vulnerable: Both South West' North 1 NT Pass 2 4 2 Pass 3 NT Opening lead: + K declarer cashed his seven top tricks). South should have won the first trick, crossed to the dummy, and run the spade queen. Yes, the finesse would have lost, but declarer's diamond jack-four would have been a stopper with West on lead.

Obama said he was will- ing 'to negotiate deficit reduction with GOP lead- ers but insisted that those talks be separate from de- cisions to raise the $16.4 trillion debt ceiling and avert a possible first-ever national default. "They will not collect a ransom in exchange for not crashing the American economy," Obama said in a news conference one President Barack Obama walks towards the lectern before speaking about the debt limit in the East Room of the White House in Washington, Monday, Jan. 14. week before he is sworn in for a second term. "What I will not do is to have that negotiation with a gun at the head of the American people." Bitter brinkmanship be- tween the White House and congressional Repub- licans over spending has become a defining event over the past four years, testing both Obama's le- verage and his resolve at different moments of his presidency. House Speaker John Boehner brushed off Obama's insistence on separat- ing the debt ceiling from imperils negotiations over spend- ing cuts. "The American people do not support raising the debt ceiling without reduc- ing government spending at the same time," Boehner said. "The consequences of failing to increase the debt ceiling are real, but so, too, are the consequences of al- lowing our spending prob- lem to go unresolved. Underscoring the ur- gency, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said in a: letter to Boehner on Mon- day that the government will exhaust its borrowing limit as soon as mid-Feb- ruary, earlier than ex- pected. The Treasury has been using bookkeeping maneuvers to keep from surpassing the debt ceil- ing, but Geithner said those measures will be ex- hausted by mid-February to early March. JACKSON COUNTY FLORIDAN www.jcfloridan.com elderly's checks In addition to noting possible effects on older Americans and veterans, Obama recited a litany of possible consequences if Congress fails to raise the debt ceiling, including sending the economy back into recession. "We might not be able to pay our troops, or honor our contracts with small business owners," he said. "Food inspectors, air traffic controllers, spe- cialists who track down loose nuclear materials wouldn't get their pay- checks. Investors around the world will ask if the United States of America is in fact a safe bet. Mar- kets could go haywire, in- terest rates would spike for anybody who borrows money. Every homeowner with a mortgage, every student with a college loan, every small business owner who wants to grow and hire." At this moment, the gov- ernment faces three loom- ing deadlines:. The debt limit must be raised soon to meet spending obliga- tions and prevent a first- ever default, a Series of across-the-boardspending cuts is to kick in on March 1, and funding for most government programs will run out on March 27. After Obama won tax rate increases for wealthier Americans during budget negotiations last month, Republicans became dou- bly determined to win spending cuts. They see the confluence of events ahead of April 1 as their best opportunity. lust weeks from hitting the first of the deadlines, the two sides are neither on the same page nor pursu- ing a common approach. AP source: Armstrong tells Oprah Winfreyhe doped The Associated Press Lance Armstrong ended a decade of denial by con- fessing to Oprah Winfrey that he used performance- enhancing drugs to win the Tour de France, a person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press. The admission Monday came hours after an emo- tional apology by Arm- strong to the Livestrong charity that he founded and turned into a global institution on the strength of his celebrity as a cancer ,survivor. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the interview is to be broadcast Thurs- day on Winfrey's net- work. She tweeted after- ward, "Just wrapped with (at)lancearmstrong More than 2 1/2 hours. He came READY!" She was sched- uled to appear on "CBS This Morning" on Tuesday to discuss the interview. The confession was a stunning reversal for Arm- strong after years of pub- lic statements, interviews and court battles in which he denied doping and zealously protected his reputation. Even before the taping session with Winfrey be- gan around 2 p.m., EST, Armstrong's apology sug- gested he would carry through on promises over the weekend to answer her questions "directly, hon- estly and candidly." The cyclist was stripped of his Tour de France titles, lost most of his endorse- ments and was forced to leave the foundation last year after the U.S. Anti- Doping Agency issued a damning, 1,000-page re- port that accused him of masterminding a long- running doping scheme. , About 100 staff members of the charity Armstrong founded in 1997 gathered in a conference room as Armstrong arrived with a simple message: "I'm sor- ry." He choked up during a 20-minute talk, express- ing regret for the long- running controversy over performance'-enhancers had caused, but stopped short of admitting he In this 2009 photo, Lance Armstrong speaks at the opening session of the Uvestrong Global Cancer Summit In Dublin, Ireland. used them. Before he was done, sev- eral members were in tears when he urged them to continue the charity's mis- sion of helping cancer pa- tients and their families. "Heartfelt and sincere," is how Livestrong spokes- man Katherine McLane described his speech. Armstrong later huddled with almost a dozen peo- ple before stepping into a room set up at a downtown Austin hotel. k The group included close friends and advis- ers, two of his lawyers and Bill Stapleton, his agent, manager and business partner. They exchanged handshakes and smiles, but declined comment when approached by a re- porter. Most members of that group left the hotel through the front entrance around 5 p.m., although, Armstrong was not with them. No further details about the interview were avail- able immediately because of confidentiality agree- ments signed by both camps. But Winfrey pro- moted it as a "no-holds barred" session, and after the voluminous USADA report which included testimony from 11 former teammates she had plenty of material for ques- tions. USADA chief execu- tive Travis Tygart, a long- time critic of Armstrong's, called the drug regimen practiced while Armstrong led the U.S. Postal Service team, "The most sophis- ticated, professipnalized and successful doping program that sport has ever seen." Armstrong also went af- ter his critics ruthlessly during his reign as cycling champion, scolding some in public and waging legal battles against others in court. At least one of his opponents, the London-based Sunday Times, has already filed a lawsuit to recover about $500,000 it paid him to settle a libel lawsuit, and Dallas-based SCA Promo- tions, which tried to deny Armstrong a promised bo- pus for a Tour de France win, has threatened to bring yet another lawsuit seeking to recover more than $7.5 million an arbi- tration panel awarded the cyclist in that dispute. In addition, former teammate Floyd Landis, who was stripped of the 2006 Tour de France title for doping, has filed a fed- eral whistle-blower lawsuit that accused Armstrong of defrauding the U.S. Postal Service. The Justice De- partment has yet to decide whether it will join the suit as a plaintiff. The lawsuit most likely to be influenced by a con- fession might be the Sun- day Times case. Potential perjury charges stemming from Armstrongs sworn testimony in the 2005 arbi- tration fight would not ap- ply because of the statute of limitations. Armstrong was not deposed during the federal investigation that was closed last year. Armstrong is said to be worth around $100 mil- lion. But most sponsors dropped him after USA- DA's scathing report at the cost of tens of millions of dollars and soon af- ter, he left the board of ivestrong. After the USADA find- ings, he was also barred from competing in the elite triathlon or'running events he participated in after his cycling career. World Anti-Doping Code rules state his lifetime ban cannot be reduced to less than eight years. 1 ci-II rAIlonloo geWarI Agency Dqomrm PrcM pramCN AthLFL EE THE CAR THAT WON THE 2007 & MI 2009 GRAND-AM ROLEX SPORTS CAR SERIES CHAMPIONSHIPS This eoc 200 m -ngin rac carspUmdbytmrwo champion drien nM (wnh, and Jm FP'rI who are smemesjahred by NSCAR Spri nCup dampon AJM J hmibr longw. 011912013 B 25744 N MdnST Acrou From Sdeho $s.us|IcI IT GA sCO Aaoma AAoakZwn Complete the form below; then submit it, with your grandchild's photo & $18 per submission to: Valentine Gri~idhildren, C/O Jackson County Floridan, P.O.
