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:

Dress survives storm to be worn by bride

By Laura Johnson lbjohnson@annistion.com

Saturday a young woman became a bride in one of the few items that survived when the April 27 tornado destroyed her family’s home and the nearby mobile home in which she lived.

That item was her wedding dress.

Jaye Lyn Edwards Taylor, 27, said she and her new husband Brett Taylor, 28, rode out the lashes of two tornadoes — one small and one an EF4 — with family that day. In the twister’s wake their dwellings were destroyed.

When they returned to see the damage in the daylight, she found the beaten chifforobe among the debris.

“I just knew that everything in it was gone,” Taylor said. “But when I opened it up the wedding dress and the bag was still just laying there.”

The dress was undamaged and the discovery led the couple, who had delayed marriage for years for health and financial reasons, to go ahead with the ceremony, Jaye Lyn Taylor said. Also pushing the wedding along was a gift the Taylors were to receive from First Baptist Church of Williams — a new home to replace their destroyed residence.

“We decided to (marry) before our house was done because we want a fresh start,” Brett Taylor said.

But the couple needed most of their money to buy items lost in the storm, so the trip to the altar was aided by the couple’s family and friends.

The bride’s father bought wed-

Local film production seeks locations to shoot

Jaye Lyn Taylor poses in the wedding dress that was somehow undamaged when a tornado destroyed her family’s home last spring. ding rings. People came forward to offer other wedding accouterments at a discounted price, the bride said. She said the generosity enabled the couple to have a proper wedding.

“We’d always planned on getting married. This time we wanted to get it right,” Jae Lyn Taylor said.

So on Saturday at a ballroom at the Hampton Inn in Jacksonville, the bride wed in her salvaged wedding dress.

“Our trailer exploded. I didn’t expect to find a whole lot of anything, but the dress survived it,” her husband said. “It’s amazing. It really is. We’ve really been blessed.”

The production team for a local film, The Unreinable Compulsion, is seeking several locations in the area to shoot.

The film, a psychological drama about an irrational murder, has cast all roles and director Jason Keener plans to begin production Dec. 4. The key locations needed are: a furnished twobedroom house with electricity, a small-town grocery store and a Protestant church. The denomination of the church is irrelevant, but a baptismal pool is required.

The film explores Christian themes, Keener wrote in an email, so it should not present a conflict of interest for a church to allow filming.

A rental fee of $200 will be paid for both the house and the grocery store.

Raised in Pembroke, N.H., and a journalism major at Keene State College in the Granite State, Anderson first wrote for The Star during the summer as a graduate student at the Knight Foundation’s school of community journalism at the University of Alabama. He had learned of the master’s program while at a journalism convention in Texas in October 2009.

Anderson said small-town civic life seems to be about the same whether one is in New Hampshire or Alabama.

As for other cultural differences, “I didn’t think too much about it til I got here,” he said, explaining that he’s perceived a greater distinction between life here versus life in the bustling university city of Tuscaloosa than he did between college in New Hampshire vs. college in the South. qqq From sports player to sports editor — that phrase traces Lacie Pinyan’s life from Blountsville’s J.B. Pennington High School, from which she graduated in 2005, until earlier this month, when she was named to run T h e S t a r ’s sports department.

P i n y a n was hired as a news copy editor at The pinyan Star in August 2009, taking over similar duties in the sports department in May 2010.

She majored in journalism and minored in English at the University of Alabama following two years at Snead State Community College.

While at Alabama, she worked on the copy desk of the Crimson White and at the Tuscaloosa News, where after an internship she was a sports department employee until graduation in 2009.

Her duties as The Star’s sports editor will include assigning stories to staff writers as well as lining up coverage from outside sources, such as stringers, to bring to sports fans news of games that

beat writers are unable to cover.

“I’m excited for it,” she said.

Pinyan notes that The Star covers some 30 local school teams, which sometimes means team representatives need to make that first move to get their games in print.

“We have to rely on them to call us,” she said. qqq Sliding out of the sports editor’s chair is Bran Strickland, named assistant managing editor for design and sports.

It’s a new position at the paper and will evolve over time, he said.

“The goal is to carry on what we’ve done in sports and make an impact design-wise (for a) more strickland consistent look paper-wide.”

Strickland will still work with Pinyan in special sports section projects as she handles daily coverage matters.

Strickland, 35, has worked for Consolidated Publishing, The Star’s parent company, since 1999. He reported on high school sports at The Star, then was sports editor at the Daily Home in Talladega from 2003-05. He returned to The Star as assistant sports editor in 2005 and was named sports editor in January 2007.

Strickland graduated from Munford High School in 1993 and that fall showed his first interest in writing sports. He became the paper’s high school sports beat writer in November 1999 — having already determined that his original plan, to be an engineer, wasn’t going to work out.

“As the math got harder, I got out,” he said. He began working for The Star while a student at Jacksonville State in pursuit of an English degree.

Now Strickland will turn what engineering inclinations remain in him to the task of newspaper design.

“It all kind of plays into it to a certain degree. There’s an element of problem-solving.”

broadband Continued from Page 1A recognized by U.S. News and World Report as one of the nation’s “most wired” school districts.

“We want to maintain our brand as a forward-thinking small city,” Young said.

“Any time you can improve your infrastructure and the perception of your city, it helps everyone.”

Young said the city’s contractor, the Wetumpka-based Information Transport Solutions, will likely set up a WiMax network.

Akin said the system will be ready by late spring.

“We expect that before the end of the school year, everything will be complete,” he said.

When the WiMax system is set up, students will be able to access it through their laptops for free. But Piedmont officials say the city expects to make the service available to anyone else in the city for a fee.

Young and Akin both said the rates for that service have yet to be set.

Piedmont residents already buy some of their utilities through the city, which runs a power and light department in addition to sewer and gas department.

The wireless system would add broadband as a city-supported utility, though it’s not clear whether the city would become the Internet service provider.

That role could be contracted out to ITS, the company that is expected to build the wireless system.

“As far as I know, the city is still in talks with ITS about how this would be done,” Akin said.

No matter who runs the system, Piedmont is poised to become one of only a few small towns with a city-wide wireless network.

Piedmont leaders say the network

could make their city more attractive to new residents and outside investors. But one wireless networking expert says the real advantage may be in giving Piedmont’s brightest young people a reason to stay.

“If you want to do knowledge work, it’s a struggle to live in a small community, where you feel so disconnected,” said Dung Chau. As a professor in the information science department at the University of Alabama, Chau helped create a public wireless system for the Strip, the business district next to the Tuscaloosa campus. Now he works for CGI Source, a consulting firm that advises technology companies.

Chau said that in large cities, large-area municipal wireless has been a disaster.

Cities have invested large sums in wireless networks only to be technologically outpaced and economically undercut by private sector competitors, he said.

But in small towns, the story is entirely different.

“In rural communities, it’s been very successful,” Chau said. “Small towns and rural communities are the last frontier in getting broadband, and some cities have decided they don’t want to wait.”

There’s precedent for such action, too, in an earlier high-tech era. In March 1980 the city of Lincoln got permission from the Alabama Legislature to set up its own cable television system; grant money was secured and by 1984 the system was up and running, serving a need the private sector had refused to consider.

Different government agencies have produced conflicting numbers on just how many Alabamians have access to broadband — but all the studies show Alabama near the bottom in broadband access.

Chau likes to quote a 2009 study by the National Telecommunications Information Administration, which says that 48

percent of Alabama residents have broadband. That’s compared to 68 percent nationwide.

In the age of iPads and Androids, there’s always the possibility that a new technology could arise that makes it easier to get broadband in remote areas. But Chau said it’s still a good idea for a city like Piedmont to invest in access.

“The telcos (telecommunications companies) always roll out the new products in major metro areas,” he said. “So it will come out in Atlanta, and later it will filter down to Birmingham. Small towns are the last on the list.”

By developing a crowd of Internet users, he said, Piedmont might bump itself up in the queue for new tech products.

“The telcos only pay attention when a rural community is using a lot of broadband,” he said.

The school superintendent doesn’t care so much about future tech rollouts.

He’s more interested in giving kids a way to study better — including studying over the summer.

“The summer break is an antiquated idea,” Akin said. “But there are ways students can keep learning over the summer.”

Akin said the school system already offers foreign language classes online, and now students might be able to continue those classes in summer. The system may also be able to prescribe online classes for students who need remediation before the next grade — students who passed their classes, but not with high marks.

Akin expects the broadband initiative to have an even larger effect on Piedmont, though, opening new opportunities to grownups as well as students.

“This is a community thing, not just a school thing,” he said.
