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:

Texas fire destroys homes, 17 missing

BASTROP, Texas — Drawn to the quaint Central Texas town of Bastrop by the promise of life in a quiet, wooded area, Frank Davis moved into his new home two Saturdays ago. The next day, he and his wife evacuated when a monster wildfire moved in.

Now, there’s nothing left.

“The fire was so hot, there are even panes of glass that melted,” said Davis, a 47-yearold home remodeler who came to Bastrop from Austin, about 30 miles away. “It’s all gone.”

The number of homes destroyed by a still-raging wildfire here rose on Sunday to 1,554 and will increase further as emergency crews enter areas where the blaze has been extinguished. Seventeen people remain unaccounted for, but officials believe they could simply be out of town.

Bastrop County officials joined by Democratic U.S. Rep. Lloyd Doggett sought to provide new information to hundreds of residents evacuated a week ago, when blustering wind whipped up by Tropical Storm Lee swept across parched, droughtstricken Texas — helping to spark more than 190 wildfires statewide that killed four people.

The worst of the fires is the one in Bastrop that has consumed more than 34,000 acres.

UK’s Cameron in rare visit to Russia

By David Stringer Associated Press

MOSCOW — British Prime Minister David Cameron has arrived in Russia for a rare visit, seeking to secure crucial new trade and warmer ties with an often difficult ally, five years after the poisoning death of a Kremlin critic in London exposed bitter differences.

Cameron was making the first visit to Russia’s capital by a British leader in six years, and will hold the first talks by any British official with Prime Minister Vladimir Putin in more than four years — hoping to revive relations ahead of the ex-president’s possible return to power in a 2012 election.

Accompanied by Foreign Secretary William Hague and business executives, including oil company BP’s chief executive Bob Dudley and Royal Dutch Shell CEO Peter Voser, Cameron will attempt on the two-day visit to increase trade with another awkward partner after similar trips to India and China.

Cameron wants to kickstart Britain’s stagnant economy by targeting emerging markets, but the policy has caused concern among those who fear it may lead the U.K.

to overlook the human rights records of new allies.

Ahead of the visit, Russia’s Embassy in London said its website was brought down in an apparent cyberattack.

Ties between Britain and Russia soured over the 2006 poisoning death of dissident ex-Russian security agent Alexander Litvinenko in London. On his deathbed, Litvinenko accused Putin of authorizing his killing.

Russia has repeatedly refused British requests for the extradition of the chief suspect in the case, ex-KGB agent Andrei Lugovoi.

British government officials acknowledged Cameron would raise the issue, but said the leader’s visit would be focused on businesses opportunities — knowing there is little prospect of progress on the Litvinenko case.

“Russia is an important partner for the U.K., although our differences in recent years are well known. We face many similar challenges and both the president and I believe that we can make more progress by working together on matters of real importance for the prosperity and security of people in both countries,” Cameron said before he arrived into Moscow late Sunday.

piece of federal legislation on which his bill was modeled.

You read that right. The idea of a tax credit for hiring new workers has been around since at least 2007.

According to the Alabama Department of Industrial Relations, the Alabama employers filed for tax credits 4,640 times under the 2007 bill — in other words, almost 5,000 people were hired under that incentive program.

Of course, things are different in 2011, and it’s almost impossible to know how many jobs Obama’s proposal would create in Alabama.

We don’t even know how many jobs Bentley’s 2010 bill created.

Officials of the Alabama Department of Revenue say that because the tax credit can’t be filed until an employee is on payroll for a year, businesses won’t be able to file for the tax credit until 2012.

“We should have those numbers in April of next year,” said Carla Snellgrove, spokeswoman for the department.

For what it’s worth, the unemployment rate in Alabama was 11 percent in April 2010, when Bentley’s bill was signed into law. Unemployment was 10 percent statewide in July, the last month for which numbers are available.

Mill property changes hands in Jacksonville The site that once housed Jacksonville’s largest industrial employer has a new owner, but one that

gets its mail at the same address as the old one.

Fruit of the Loom closed the Union Yarn Mill west of downtown in 2001. After plans for a city-led redevelopment project at the century-old facility fizzled, the owner of the site’s largest building sold it to Georgia-based Southern Heart Pine Recovery. That company demolished the three-story brick structure in 2008, taking it apart piece by piece to harvest its valuable heart-pine flooring for reuse elsewhere.

According to the Calhoun County Probate Office, Southern Heart Pine transferred ownership of the remaining land to Summit Industrial Services last week. Both companies, on their respective websites, list the same address in an office park in Bogart, Ga., just outside Athens.

Phone numbers listed for Southern Heart Pine weren’t working on Friday. An employee at Summit Industrial Services directed questions to the company’s president, who wasn’t available. According to its website, Summit develops industrial sites for manufacturers.

The city government still owns the oldest building in the former mill complex, just north of the demolished one, and a few smaller outbuildings. SPAR Inc., a specialty manufacturer whose headquarters is just north of the old mill on West Francis Street, bought another parcel of the former site with several other buildings in 2006.

Mayor Johnny Smith said he was unaware of any plans for the site now owned by Summit. He said the city uses its building, opened in 1906, mainly for storage and for

training its firefighters.

“We would sell it if we could find a buyer, somebody that would create some jobs or turn it into loft apartments,” Smith said. “Anything like that that would productive.”

Smith said he also wouldn’t rule out the city returning to the old plan of turning the historic mill into a new City Hall, if the finances were right.

J’ville KFC kicks the bucket

Jacksonville residents and students at Jacksonville State University will have to get their dark-meat buckets and Double Down sandwiches elsewhere.

A simple sign taped to the door of the Kentucky Fried Chicken there on Friday told customers that location was closed. The KFC signs and the image of the restaurant chain’s famous founder, Harland “Colonel” Sanders, had been removed from the building on Pelham Road.

An employee at Birminghambased BSD Foods, which owns the property but not the franchise, directed questions to the company’s president, who was not available late Friday afternoon. The employee did not know why the restaurant had closed.

It seems a safe assumption that JSU’s rooster mascot, Cocky, was not a frequent customer. However, it’s worth noting that KFC’s nextdoor neighbor, Jefferson’s, does a brisk business in Buffalo wings.

An earlier Jacksonville incarnation of the home of “finger lickin’ good” fried chicken closed in 1992.

That building now houses a Papa John’s pizza shop.
