MARRIAGE lICENSESA Chapter 7 bankruptcy allows the debtor to retain certain exempt property, but the debtor’s remaining property is gathered and sold by a trustee from which creditors will receive payment. It may also be used by businesses which wish to terminate their business.A Chapter 13 bankruptcy enables debtors, through court supervision and protection, to propose and carry out a repayment plan under which creditors are paid, in full or in part, in installments over a three-year period. During that time, debtors are prohibited from starting or continuing collection efforts. The following bankruptcies declared by Calhoun County residents were recorded by U.S. Bankruptcy Court Northern District of Alabama last week:

preservation and enhancement of the Anniston City School dis-trict,” Superintendent Joan Fra-zier told the board members as they prepared to discuss mak-ing changes two weeks ago.

Harrington notes that the system, even in this time of proration, has been hanging on to its money, so it’s not depen-dent on help from the city. However, money has become a large part of the conversation. Board member William Hutch-ings for months has criticized the City Council for its lack of support to the school system. The city has for years failed to support the system adequately, according to the Department of Education. It grades systems on their local financial support and Anniston has been getting an F for years.

But the city sees potential in the school property. The city’s revenue has been declin-ing due to the economy, the declining population and the ever-increasing shopping base in Oxford luring shoppers away from Anniston.

As officials have looked for ways to turn things around, they spotted the middle school property. Back when the school first opened, its location was rejected by some as being too far removed from most of the school-age population that would use it. Fast-forward 25 years and the school is now situated at a key entrance to McClellan and just a couple of stones’ throws away from the northern terminus of the soon-to-be-completed Veteran’s Memorial Parkway.

That means the property will soon have one thing that, according to William Snowden, director of the Office of Eco-nomic Development for Tusca-loosa, attracts retailers: traffic.

“You’ve already heard it,”

Snowden said. “Location, loca-tion, location.”

The location must provide two critical things to attract retail investment, Snowden said. There has to be traffic — lots of potential customers. In addition, retailers like to know they will provide something shoppers want.

“The retailers generally know,” Snowden said. “There are various formulas and they’re not rocket science.”

For instance, within the population a certain number of people will spend, say, $800 a year on clothing and $600 on restaurants. If the city clothing stores and restaurants aren’t already selling what the popu-lation is probably spending, that means the customers are going elsewhere, Snowden said. A retailer might see that and think he could capture those dollars that are slipping away by bringing the store or restaurant closer to custom-ers at a high profile location — such as the middle school property.

That potential isn’t lost on the board members. Shortly after Palmore presented his proposal, the board asked the superintendent to have the property appraised.

But Robison said regardless of any appraisal, the property is only valuable if someone wants it and the board has an interest-ed party and a bonafide offer.

Harrington points out, though, that the city hasn’t made clear exactly what it is offering.

If the property is valuable, the school system could benefit from that and do some much-needed work on its facilities and add programs and cur-riculum for the students. Robi-son said he believes the system could put the school out for bid and sell it. But Snowden, who is in the business of econom-ic development, said it takes more than putting the property

on the market.“It’s a 24-hour proposi-

tion,” Snowden said. “This field of dreams stuff don’t work because they’ve got so many field of dreams that are out there. It’s competitive.”

This isn’t the first time the city has considered selling the middle school. In July 1999, then board members decided to close the middle school and make all the elementary schools kindergarten through eighth grade.

They abandoned those plans the following December for financial reasons, according to an article in The Star.

The system still owns Nor-wood School, which it closed in 2001. The system leased that school to Head Start. Robison wasn’t sure if the system had tried to sell the property or not.

“They took control of it so we didn’t have to spend any money on it,” Robison said. “It kept us from having a build-ing out there that’s empty and deteriorating.”

Harrington thinks that’s a good thing. It keeps the build-ing in the possession of the school system in case it does need to expand sometime down the road.

“Maybe it’s just me, but I really do believe we will do a little increasing in numbers,” Harrington said.

With much of McClellan still undeveloped, the possibility of increasing population is there. She also said adding a mag-net school could lure students from private schools back to the system.

But the question of how to pay for the changes is one that so far the board hasn’t answered or even discussed, she said. First the system has to figure out what is best for the community, and then it can look at how to fund those changes, she said.

Gingrich objected specifically to a Romney campaign ad that includes a 1997 NBC News report on the House’s decision to discipline Gingrich, then speaker, for ethics charges.

Romney continued to paint Gin-grich as part of the very Washing-ton establishment he condemns and someone who had a role in the nation’s economic problems.

“Your problem in Florida is that you worked for Freddie Mac at a time when Freddie Mac was not doing the right thing for the American people, and that you’re selling influence in Washington at a time when we need people who will stand up for the truth in Washington,” Romney told an audience in Naples.

Gingrich’s consulting firm was paid more than $1.5 million by the federally-backed mortgage com-pany over a period after he left Con-gress in 1999.

Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, trailing in Florida by a wide margin, stayed in his home state, where his 3-year-old daugh-ter, Bella, was hospitalized. She has a genetic condition caused by the presence of all or part of an extra 18th chromosome. Aides said he would resume campaigning as soon as possible.

Texas Rep. Ron Paul, who has invested little in Florida, looked ahead to Nevada. The libertarian-leaning Paul is focusing more on gathering delegates in caucus states, where it’s less expensive to cam-paign. But securing the nomination only through caucus states is a hard task.

The race began moving toward a two-person fight in South Carolina, and has grown more bitter and per-sonal in Florida.

The intense effort by Romney

to slow Gingrich is comparable his strategy against Gingrich in the clos-ing month before Iowa’s leadoff cau-cuses Jan. 3.

Gingrich led in Iowa polls, lifted by what were hailed as strong perfor-mances in televised debates, only to drop in the face of withering attacks by Romney, aided immensely by ads sponsored by a “super” politi-cal action committee run by former Romney aides.

Gingrich has responded by criti-cizing Romney’s conservative cre-dentials. Outside an evangelical Christian church in Lutz, Gingrich said he was the more loyal conserva-tive on key social issues.

“This party is not going to nomi-nate somebody who is a pro-abor-tion, pro-gun-control, pro-tax-increase liberal,” Gingrich said. “It isn’t going to happen.”

But Gingrich, in appearances on Sunday news programs, returned to complaining about Romney’s tac-tics, rather than emphasizing his own message as that of a conserva-tive with a record of action in Con-gress.

“When we get to a positive idea campaign, I consistently win,” Gin-grich said. “It’s only when he can mass money to focus on carpet-bombing with negative ads that he gains any traction at all.”

Romney and the political com-mittee that supports him had com-bined to spend some $6.8 million in ads criticizing Gingrich in the Flor-ida campaign’s final week. Gingrich and a super PAC that supports him were spending about one-third that amount.

Gingrich worked to portray him-self as the insurgent outsider, col-lecting the endorsement of tea party favorite Herman Cain, whose own campaign for president foundered amid sexual harassment allegations.

It was unclear how aggressively Gingrich would be able to compete in states beyond Florida. The next televised debate, a format Gingrich has used to his advantage, is not until Feb. 22, more than three weeks away.

Romney already has campaigned in Nevada more than Gingrich.

BEIRUT — In dozens of tanks and armored vehicles, Syrian troops stormed rebellious areas near the capital Sunday, shelling neighborhoods that have fallen under the control of army dissidents and clashing with fight-ers. At least 62 people were killed in violence nation-wide, activists and residents said.

The widescale offensive near the capital suggested the regime is worried that military defectors could close in on Damascus, which has remained relatively quiet while most other Syrian cities descended into chaos after the uprising began in March.

The rising bloodshed added urgency to Arab and Western diplomatic efforts to end the 10-month con-flict.

The violence has gradually approached the capital. In the past two weeks, army dissidents have become more visible, seizing several suburbs on the eastern edge of Damascus and setting up checkpoints where masked men wearing military attire and wielding assault rifles stop motorists and protect anti-regime protests.

Their presence so close to the capital is astonish-ing in tightly controlled Syria and suggests the Assad regime may either be losing control or setting up a trap for the fighters before going on the offensive.

Residents of Damascus reported hearing clashes in the nearby suburbs, particularly at night, shattering the city’s calm.

“The current battles taking place in and around Damascus may not yet lead to the unraveling of the regime, but the illusion of normalcy that the Assads have sought hard to maintain in the capital since the beginning of the revolution has surely unraveled,” said Ammar Abdulhamid, a U.S.-based Syrian dissident.

It’s actually multiple products offered to new and existing customers. All the products are free reward-based accounts with online banking and nationwide ATM fee refunds, no mini-mum balance required and no monthly service fees.

• Kasasa Cash is a free checking account that pays customers high inter-est on their deposits for every month they qualify.

• Kasasa Savings is a free high-inter-est savings account linked to a Kasasa Cash checking account. The interest and ATM fee refunds earned in Kasasa Cash are automatically deposited into the Kasasa Saver account when the account holder qualifies. The balance in the Kasasa Saver account also earns a high interest rate.

• Kasasa Tunes offers new custom-ers at NobleBank $20 in downloads, and existing customers get $5 in down-loads from iTunes or amazon.com each month.

To qualify each month for the Kasasa benefits, customers are asked to receive an eStatement, access online banking, use a debit card a minimum of 12 times, and have an electronic transaction (such as direct deposit) post and clear their account. If an account holder does not meet the qualifications in a given month, NobleBank and Trust will alert the individual, who will be eligible the following month for the benefits.

Additionally, NobleBank plans within the next month to start offer-ing Kasasa 360, which would aggregate multiple financial accounts and allow a NobleBank customer to access them all through one online account.

Also, within a year, NobleBank will

have Kasasa Giver, which will allow earned interest from a checking account to go into an account that will be donat-ed annually to the customer’s charity of choice.

“It’s really geared toward this coming generation that’s digitally or electroni-cally savvy,” Humphries said. “I don’t remember the last time my sons have been in a bank. They just don’t need brick and mortar.”

It’s when things are at their worst for folks that ServiceMaster wants to be at its best. The Anniston franchise of the disaster-recovery company often finds itself helping homeowners in the wake of burst water pipes, floods, fires and other small- and large-scale disasters.

The folks who run the Anniston loca-tion on West Third Street south of down-town also work to help others learn to be at their best. From the same loca-tion, Scott Mims and his co-workers run Disaster Academy, a separate business that trains people from other compa-nies around the country in cleaning and restoration.

Mims, who has owned the company for five years after buying from former owner Joe Dobbins, recently filed paper-work to establish Disaster Academy as a separate business to better track the flow of revenue.

Much of the training takes place in the academy’s 1,300-square-foot mock-up of a house, one of what Mims said is only about seven in the nation. Instruc-tors regularly submit the structure to flood damage, which students then help to clean up. Between 100 and 200 train-ees cycle through facility in most years, Mims said.

“People come in from all over,” he said Friday. “We teach them how to do

what we do.”That includes drying, cleaning,

deodorizing, and even packing up hom-eowners’ belongings for cleaning and temporary storage while their home is restored.

The ServiceMaster franchise has been putting that expertise to use in the Birmingham area in the wake of last week’s tornadoes, Mims said.

The city of Weaver hasn’t had its own grocer in years, but that is expected to change soon.

Weaver Mayor Garry Bearden plans to open a grocery store in the heart of town before spring. He said he’s spent the past several weeks preparing his old campaign headquarters, a small build-ing near a Dollar General store, for the new business.

“I want everything to be exactly right when I get it open,” he said.

The store, to be named “Weaver Gro-cery,” will carry all the staple food items, Bearden said — eggs, bread, milk, meat and frozen items, plus a few extras.

“I think they’re going to be surprised in a small space how many items we can offer,” he said.

Bearden is not new to the grocery business. He owns Supermarket Plan-ning Equipment and Construction Ser-vices, which he calls SPECS, a supermar-ket refrigeration and fixtures company.

Bearden added that his store will have a particular bent toward providing customer service. Employees will carry bags to customers’ cars and deliver food for free to the ill, he said.

“The word customer service doesn’t exist anymore,” Bearden said. “We intend to recreate the definition of cus-tomer service.”
