A 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:

Rural towns brace for high river peaks Associated Press MELBOURNE, Australia — Australia’s flooding crisis headed south today into Victoria state, where record floods were predicted for several rural communities facing rivers swollen from heavy upstream rains.

Officials expected floodwaters to drown out highways and isolate dozens of towns in the northeastern part of the state in some of the worst flooding there in a century.

Residents are wary after three weeks of devastating flooding caused 28 deaths in the northeastern state of Queensland. The region’s key Murray-Darling river basin links that state with New South Wales and Victoria to the south, and drains into the sea via South Australia on the south-central coast.

In Victoria, State Emergency Services spokeswoman Natasha Duckett warned that the Victoria town of Horsham could face a major flood during today’s expected peak of the Wimmera River, and electricity supplier Powercor was sandbagging its substation there to ensure it remained dry.

“The Wimmera River is higher than the levels seen in September 2010 and it’s still rising,” Duckett said. “The township could be bisected with a waterway right through the middle of town and the (Western) Highway cut.”

Up to 500 properties in the town of about 14,000 people could be affected.

More than 3,500 people have evacuated their homes in north-central Victoria state, with 43 towns and 1,500 properties already affected by rising waters.

The flooding in Queensland left a vast territory underwater and caused 28 deaths, most of them from a flash flood that hit towns west of Brisbane on Jan. 10. Fourteen people are still missing.

Ribbons, bows, scarves, toenail coloring and even coat coloring are available to accent the appearance of a freshly scrubbed and clipped pooch.

Anti-flea shampoos and ear cleanings can also be part of the process.

Dover and her three employees see an average of 25-30 dogs a day. A couple of times a year things are less busy, such as when school starts back up, but peaks make up for it — on Dec. 23, Dover said, they moved a record 73 dogs through the shop as their owners wanted clean pets for their Christmas gatherings.

Several file drawers hold index cards bearing data on the boutique’s canine clientele and their owners, who come not just from the immediate area but from far out of town — generally on account of having lived here previously and appreciative of the old-fashioned service Dover and her staff give.

Nothing’s stored on computer files, she said.

They open the shop at 6:30, “so people can drop ’em off on the way to work,” Dover said.

Making an appointment is best because drop-ins aren’t accepted after 10:30 a.m. Once a certain number of dogs are in the pipeline, so to speak, it takes a fixed amount of time to do the prescribed work on each one and have them all out the door by closing time.

No one stays overnight except a handful of rescue animals on their way to permanent homes.

inventories remain high while prices are dropping.

According to the Alabama Center for Real Estate, 229 homes were constructed in 2009 in the Calhoun County area. As of November, the latest data available for 2010, only 132 homes had been built.

“When times are tough, people don’t buy,” Almaroad said. “Until Washington, D.C., starts talking about housing, this economy is not going to turn around.”

Almaroad opened the T&L Outdoors Superstore in 2007, about a year after opening T&L Outdoors in Jacksonville. Due to the success of the larger, 10,000-squarefoot Oxford store, Almaroad closed the Jacksonville location about six months later.

Almaroad noted that he did not think competition was an issue since he has so many loyal customers who want to support local businesses.

“I have customers who would rather buy from a local store than a big chain,” Almaroad said. “About 95 percent of the people who have come in the last week have said, ‘Man, I wish you wouldn’t close.’”

Recent financial reports from Dick’s Sporting Goods tend to support Almaroad’s assumptions about the recession’s effect on the outdoors industry.

According to the retail chain’s latest figures, Dick’s reported a net income of $150.6 million and a gross profit margin of 29.8 percent in 2007. That profit margin dropped to 28.7 percent in 2008 while income dropped to $134.1 million. The profit margin decreased even further in 2009 to 27.6 percent, though net income did increase some to $141.4 million.

Though Almaroad will be forced to shut down one of his businesses, he is still optimistic about the future.

“Small-business people are going to get through this,” he said. “I’ll just do what I’ve continued doing this last 37 years. And I hope someone will come by and want to buy the store one day. It is in a great location.”

The T&L Outdoors Superstore will continue to sell its stock until closure at discounted prices of between 30 and 60 percent off.

Dorothy Dover has been running the business her mother started — Lylia’s Poodle Boutique — since 2003.

The breeds cleaned up by Dover and her staff range in size from Yorkshire terriers to St. Bernards. A 175lb. Great Dane is brought in once a month for a bath.

Muzzles can be used if a new client seems a little snappy, but Dover doesn’t tranquilize anyone.

Speaking of tranquilizers, barking is not the problem one might think it would be.

“You get used to it,” Dover said, noting that yummy treats help. “Basically, you tune it out.”

Moreover, she explained, as long as strange people don’t come in the shop, the animals stay reasonably calm. That’s why watching one’s pup get clean is gently discouraged — because having “mom” (or “dad”) in the room actually tends to agitate the animal, or make it more fidgety.

“With just us, it’s quiet and the dogs let you do what you want to,” Dover said, referring to herself and her staff.

“They know when you have a caring heart and a passion for dogs.”
