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:

Democrat urges probe into federal contractors By Melanie Mason Tribune Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON — A Democratic congressman is seeking an investigation into whether government money was used by three security contractors involved in a proposal to track and harass liberal critics of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Rep. Hank Johnson of Georgia plans to send letters today to the Defense and Justice departments, as well as the head of the intelligence community, requesting a review of the companies’ federal contracts. All three firms are government contractors with security clearance. Johnson wrote that he was concerned the companies “may have violated the law and/or their federal contracts by conspiring to use technologies developed for U.S. intelligence and counterterrorism purposes against American citizens and organizations on behalf of private actors.” The inquiry stems from e-mail correspondence between the three data security firms — HBGary
Federal, Palantir Technologies and Berico Technologies — proposing surveillance and sabotage of liberal and labor activists in an effort to win a contract with Hunton & Williams, a law firm representing the Chamber of Commerce. The security firms came together in a group they dubbed “Team Themis,” apparently after the Greek goddess of law and order. Details of the proposal, which included planting false information to embarrass anti-chamber groups and creating dossiers on activists, complete with photographs and family references, were leaked this year by the hacker group Anonymous. The chamber said it was not aware of the proposals and called the tactics “abhorrent.” HBGary Federal declined to comment. A company source said Palantir was aware of the congressman’s request and believed the agencies would comply. Neither Berico nor Hunton & Williams returned calls seeking comment. In the past, all have denied wrongdoing.

Certification of completing the course is good for a discount on automobile insurance premiums, at least with most companies, Croffoot said. “Everyone can use all the breaks they can get,” he said. The cost of the 8-hour course — two mornings of four hours each — is minimal: $12 for AARP members and $14 for non-members. Any licensed driver of any age is allowed to take the course, meaning that a grandchild accompanying a grandparent would certainly not be turned away, he said. Recertification is required every three years to maintain the discount, he added. Although Calhoun County has been “home base” for Croffoot and his wife, Janet, for 35 years, the couple’s fondness for traveling led him to learn about the AARP course while they were semi-permanently living in Texas. He first took

Keith Croffoot has taught approximately 250 AARP driving courses in the last three years. the course, then he became certified to teach it — even in teaching others to teach it. In fact, almost all of the courses Croffoot has taught in the past three years — he puts that number in the ballpark of 250 — have been in the town of Mission, Texas, near Brownsville. He taught his first course back home — now Oxford, where the couple bought a house last year — in February. Because of the number of classes he’s overseen, Croffoot doesn’t have to do much to prepare for a new one. “I’ve taught so many I
can go anyplace in this book and know how I’m gonna teach it,” he said, referring to the official 120-page “Participant Workbook.” The book includes not only information about potentially hazardous situations and how to avoid or handle them, but also takes into account that most of the students using it are older — 50 and up is AARP’s target market — and thus have a lifetime of habits to either build on or correct. For example, as any young whippersnapper might suspect, older drivers “obey the speed limit probably more than anybody else,” Croffoot said.
And yes, he said, he has had one driver ask him, “Am I supposed to use turn signals?” So what’s the leading cause of accidents among older drivers? Failure to yield right-ofway, meaning, you didn’t let the other guy be where he was allowed to be. Sometimes, Croffoot explained, that failure is due to the older driver’s depth perception becoming less astute than it once was, especially at night. And while no particular medication is mentioned in the course, Croffoot said, course material does bring out the importance of consulting one’s doctor or pharmacist about any hazardous side effects that a drug or combination of drugs might produce. New traffic laws, such as those requiring highway motorists to give clearance to a stopped law enforcement vehicle, are also covered. “There’s a lot of little pointers in this class,” he said. If you know of anyone who’ll talk about what he or she does for a living, or if you are such a person yourself, drop a line to bedwards@annistonstar.com for a possible write-up in “Off to Work.”
