MARRIAGE LICENSES

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:

BACK-TO-SCHOOL

Four college roommate conflicts, and solutions

BY JESSICA YADEGARAN Contra Costa Times

As thousands of students flock to their university digs, it is important to remember that roommates can be among the most enriching relationships in your college experience. But learning to get along with a stranger, often in a small space, can also be challenging.

“It’s just about learning how to communicate, compromise and respect each other,” says Kenrick Ali, associate director of residence life at Cal State East Bay, which will welcome 1,500 residents to its dorms Sept. 20.

Ali has mediated hundreds of roommate conflicts over the years and says the most common issues among college roommates are scheduling conflicts — you’re a morning person, he’s a night owl — and using each other’s belongings without permission.

Here, Ali and Nikhil Sharma, a Cal State East Bay junior who serves on the board of his residential hall, tackle four roommate conflicts and offer solutions.

Food fight When it comes to food, you and your roommate take turns buying the common items, like eggs and milk. But, lately, you’ve noticed she’s been dipping into your personal items, like your Greek yogurt, which isn’t cheap.

Sharma: I always say, “If you want any of my stuff, just ask before, and I’ll most likely say ‘yes.’ But if you don’t ask, and it keeps happening, I’ll report it to the residential adviser.”

Ali: It is imperative that you speak to your roommate about how much they can use, what happens when items start running low, what happens when there is no more of the item, and who pays for the replacement.

FIVE TIPS TO KEEP THE PEACE

The third wheel Your roommate’s girlfriend is staying over — again. Doesn’t he realize it’s a small space and listening to them makes you uncomfortable?

Ali: Speak to your roommate in a nonthreatening manner about the impact his guest is having on you. Suggest developing a schedule of when each of you is allowed to have visitors and ask him if there are other places they could go. Flexibility is the key.

Express that being able to hear them makes you uncomfortable.

But, you also have to compromise and be OK with overnight guests once or twice a quarter.

Sharma: If it’s in the middle of the night, and you’re trying to sleep, ask them to be quieter or ask them to go somewhere else.

The messy flatmate You and your roomie move into an on-campus apartment but the extra space has brought out the slob in her. Her unwashed dishes are piling up, and you fear they will attract critters soon.

Ali: A very standard rule is that all of the shared spaces in the apartment are to remain clean.

Create a task list and schedule a rotation between roommates.

If critters decide to live with you because of your roommate’s messiness, it is appropriate for

Sharma: This happened to me. My roommate didn’t wash his dishes before Thanksgiving break, and we came back to hundreds of baby flies everywhere.

We had to buy a ton of fly swatters to get rid of them. We were direct and told him it was disgusting and that he needed to get his cleaning done. It worked.

A different lifestyle A few days in to your first year in college you realize your roommate is gay. You are somewhat concerned, as you do not know any gay people and the thought of sharing a living space is somewhat uncomfortable.

Sharma: Treat your room-

mate as you would treat anyone else — with respect. If they hit on you and that makes you uncomfortable, just address it like you would anyone else who hits on you by saying, ‘I’m living with you for the whole year and think this is inappropriate. Please stop.’

Ali: Open your mind. If you want to go to college, there is no way around it — you are going to meet people with different lifestyles. Don’t expect a move, either.

Kenrick Ali has mediated countless conflicts as associate director of residence life at Cal State East Bay. Want no drama? Follow his tips for getting the most out of your living situation: • Talk face to face. In this age of texting, step away from your phone and take time to talk about your needs and expectations.

You’ll find a commonality talking face to face rather than messaging your roommate’s Facebook page.

• Be flexible. Even though you don’t agree on something doesn’t mean it’s an automatic failure to live together. Be open to learning a different approach.

• Use your resources.

Most universities have livein staff trained in conflict mediation. They can help.

• Write up a roommate contract. This can include everything from rules for overnight guests to grocery shopping and a cleaning schedule. Do it at the beginning of the year to prevent any issues from arising.

• Remember, you get out what you put in. College friendships, for many people, last a lifetime. Don’t let differing schedules or tastes in music spoil that.
