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.

Baxter's Asphalt and Paving will repave River Forest Road in the coming days. 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.

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

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

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

very happy to be where he

"I'm the eyes and ears

"I watch food costs, labor

and develop new ideas
together, and I enjoy it all.
I'm learning a lot, from

so it's a great experience
for me."

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

who had been on the
board for 2012 for their
time and service. Most
seats on the Board are for

many times pushes into 15

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

of it. I'Ve heard people

served their final year in
2012. 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. I
think it would be a fun
challenge."
For now though, Isabella
would be happy to see
some of.his old classmates
at No. 246 if they hap-
pen to be passing through
north Georgia. And they
might keep an eye peeled
for Isabella on a televised
cooking competition
someday.

DCF: Cops

shouldhave


persons report
The Associated Press

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.
- Child welfare officials
said Monday that Hallan-
dale Beach Police should
have filed a missing- per-
son report in October af-
ter talking with a mother
who hadn't seen her baby
in more than a year. 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.

care law would impact his
company of about 75 em-
ployees. 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

ied the various options on
school choice. He had pre-

viously been undecided
about whether he would
take the lead on a voucher
proposal or if he would
let lawmakers, control the
measure.
"We spent an extraor-
dinary amount of time
. looking at it," Haslam said.
"We thought 'once we did
that we had the responsi-
bility having said, 'Hold
off, let's study it' to
come with a proposal that
we thought would make
sense."

plan will be paid for

Indians try to rebound


against Pirates after loss

MARK SKINNER/FLORIDAN


BY DUSTIN KENT
dkent@jcfloridan.com

After suffering their first
loss of the season last
week, the No. 1 Chipola
Indians will try to get back
on track tonight at home
against the.Pensacola State
Pirates at 7:30 p.m.
The Indians (18-1 over-
all, 1-1 in the Panhandle
'Conference) were stunned
80-65 by No. 7 Northwest
Florida State last week in
a game that the Raiders
controlled from the open-
ing tip.
Chipola will try to get
back on the winning side
against a Pensacola State
(14-6, 0-2) club that has
been very competitive In
its two league games de-
spite coning up on the
wrong end of the score line
eachltime
The Pirates lost their
Panhandle opener to Gulf
Coast State 75-70 before


falling to Northwest Flori-
da State 73-69 on Saturday
in a game they led much of
the way.
Pensacola State actually
was in front of the defend-
ing state champions 40-
31 at halftime before the
Raiders rallied to outscore
the Pirates 42-29 in the
second half.
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.
Deviri Wilson also aver-
ages 10.2 points per game
for the Pirates and is mak-


ing 38.9 percent of his
five shots per game from
3-point range, while also
leading the team with 3.5
assists per game and 2.8
steals per game.
"Sophomores Josh Turner,
and DeAngelo Kirkland are
chipping in with 9.8 and
7.7 points per game.
The Pirates are shooting
43.4 percent from the field
as a team and 34.5 percent
from three, while holding
opponents to 42 percent
from the floor and 24.5
percent from three.
That excellent 3-point
defense will get a major
test from a Chipola, team
making .37.3 percent of
its 15.8 deep attempts 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 kids feel like they're
better than how they
performed."
Pensacola State hasn't
been as good as North-
west this season, but the

Northwest.
Chipola has one of
the most balanced of-
fensive attacks of any
team in the country, with
six different players av-
eraging double figure


with their ability to offen-
sive rebound.
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. "That's been our
Achilles' heel all year long
with our lack of size and
depth, so that doesn't bode
well for us. (The Lady Pi-
rates) are not a big team,
but they're very active on
the glass. They're bigger
than us, but that's not say-
ing much. But they're very

Pensacola State is led by

Franklin said. "She's a very
versatile kid, long and

attention."
The Lady Indians are led
by Lashonda Littleton's
15.7 points per game,
with Kristine Brance just
behind at 15.6 points per
game, and Rayven Brooks
at 14.6.
Rahni Bell is also in dou-

Crawford also leads the
team in steals at 3.1 per

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."

lhnie's Mailbox


Dear Annie: I used to travel a fair
amount for my job. 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

South should have won the first trick,

Obama: Debt limit fight


The Associated Press

WASHINGTON De-
claring "we are not a
deadbeat nation," Presi-
dent Obama warned on
Monday that Social Secu-
rity checks and veterans'
benefits will be delayed if
congressional Republicans
fail to increase the govern-
ment's borrowing author-
ity in a looming showdown
over the nation's debt and
spending.
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.

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.

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

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.
