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:

Chapter 7• Christopher L. Martin and Diona H. Martin, 980 Bains Gap Road, Anniston• Ronald J. Jennings and D’Anna Jennings, 310 Log-ging Road, Ohatchee• Rex F. McKinley, 527 Wilmer Ave., Anniston

“We used to have politicians come in and ask how they were doing... I told them ‘you’ve got it in the bag.’ If I knew something good (about the candidate) I’d tell them, but if I knew some-thing bad, I’d keep it to myself.”

It was a practice he picked up after his father, who told him, “if you don’t have some-thing nice to say, then you shouldn’t say anything.” And it was his father who drew him into the business.

His father cut hair for 67 years. He had eight children, four of whom were boys.

“I was the youngest of them all, which they didn’t let me forget, and I was the last hope” of having another barber in the family, Lackey said recently.

Lackey said his father helped a lot of young barbers get started and was never jealous of somebody else’s business. “My daddy used to say that ‘there were enough people in Calhoun County that needed haircuts, for everyone.’”

Building relationships with customers is the best part of the job, but can be the hardest when one of them falls ill.

The hardest thing Lackey said he has ever had to do was to “shave and cut my father’s hair after he passed away.”

“I cried the whole time,” he said, “and wiped the tears off of my father’s face.”

The hard times only make the good times better, and Lackey has a true passion for barbering.

On the future of the field, he said, “It’s an evolving busi-ness, but barbering is a dying art.” Beauticians and stylists do much better starting out now.

Because of that, Lackey said, he won’t be encouraging his son to become a barber the way that he was encouraged while growing up.

When he was young “people used to get their hair cut every week or two weeks. Now it’s once a month or whenever that can get by, and I understand that.”

Keep it standingWhen the cotton mill

was still running, the com-pany provided workers with housing. Carpenters, plumbers and painters from the mill fixed the houses and one of the nurses inspected them randomly to ensure clean living.

“If Marie stopped by and the house wasn’t clean, the mill would make you leave,” Pesnell said, remembering a particularly watchful nurse.

According to Pesnell, the mill was a good place to work. It provided a commu-nity where people worked,

worshipped and studied together. The couple and their children stayed in Blue Mountain and Orval con-tinued working at the mill until it finally closed. Three years later, he died, leav-ing Pesnell to cope with the change.

“It’s different here now,” Pesnell said. “Most every-one left or passed away. The people aren’t so close any-more.”

Today, Pesnell lives alone. She visits her siblings and children from time to time and attends New Canaan Baptist Church reg-ularly where she’s in charge of the prayer line.

“I get lonely at times,” Pesnell said. “But I have the Lord on my side, and he truly answers prayers.”

‘A good living’Jerry Whitten acted

as a supervisor where he watched over the entire process of making and spin-ning yarn and manufactur-ing different products with the result.

“We’d start off with a bale of cotton and end up with string,” Jerry said. “It was one process after another. If I tried to explain it, you wouldn’t know what I was talking about.”

He and his wife, Shelby, met at the mill, where she worked in the braiding department. They eventu-ally got married, had chil-dren and rented a mill vil-lage home for a mere $12 a month.

They remember life in

the mill village, watching workers walk to and from work, swarming out the doors as one shift ended and the next one began.

“You couldn’t tell what color people were when they walked out,” Shelby said. “Everyone was cov-ered from head to toe with cotton.”

It was a difficult place to work with little pay, but the mill did what it could to keep the community run-ning.

“I never said anything bad about that place,” Jerry said. “I had a choice. If I got fed up, I could leave, but I never did.”

The mill was all they knew. Both Shelby and her mother worked there and Jerry stayed there from the

day he started until the day it closed.

Slowly downhillAccording to Jerry, when

the mill opened, there were around 3,000 employ-ees. At its close, about 51 remained.

“It slowly went down-hill,” Jerry said.

The employees were informed a few months before its closing. Workers were upset, but their dis-tress couldn’t change the decision. All they could do was move on. However, the closing did provide workers with the opportunity attend school. Most men learned a skill and the women became nurses.

“They really cared about the workers,” Jerry said.

“People were forced to bet-ter themselves when the mill shut down. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have left.”

Although the mill’s clos-ing offered new opportu-nities, it also left workers without jobs.

“People were lost,” Jerry said. “A lot of them didn’t know what to do with them-selves.”

Many mill workers have left or are dead, yet a few still remain, reminiscing about the days when they lived among people they considered family.

“This is my home,” Shel-by said. “It’s strange how a little mill village can change you.”

By DeB Riechmann anD Rahim FaiezAssociated Press

KABUL, Afghanistan — A gunman in a car assassinated a former high-ranking Tal-iban official working to end the decade-long war in Afghanistan, dealing a powerful blow Sunday to the fragile, U.S.-backed effort to bring peace to the country.

Arsala Rahmani, a top member of the Afghan peace council and a senator in Parliament, was killed a week before a key NATO summit and just hours before Presi-dent Hamid Karzai announced the third stage of a five-part transition that is sup-posed to put Afghan security forces in con-trol of their country by the end of 2014.

Police said an assassin with a silencer-equipped pistol shot Rahmani, who was in his 70s, as he was riding in his car in one of the capital’s most secure areas. The gun-man fired from a white Toyota Corolla that pulled up alongside Rahmani’s vehicle at an intersection. Rahmani’s driver rushed him to a hospital, but he died on the way.

Rahmani was a former deputy minister of higher education in the Taliban regime that was ousted by the U.S.-led invasion in 2001. He eventually reconciled with the government and was trying to set up formal talks with the insurgents.

The killing was another setback to efforts to negotiate a political resolution to the war. In September 2011, former Afghan Presi-dent Burhanuddin Rabbani, who was head of the peace council, was assassinated in his Kabul home by a suicide bomber posing as a peace emissary from the Taliban.

The Taliban denied responsibility for Rahmani’s killing, although they had pub-licly threatened to target peace negotiators.

The U.S.-led coalition is trying to wind down its involvement in Afghanistan by finding a political resolution to the war and training Afghan security forces to take the lead in protecting their homeland. But a recent rise in violence has raised concerns about the Afghan government’s readiness to assume responsibility for the country’s security.

Legislature, where sponsors said they wanted to drive illegal immigrants from the state by making it difficult for them to live in Alabama.

Aside from requiring all employers to register with a federal citizenship-verifica-tion system called E-Verify, the law barred residents from conducting basic business transactions if they lacked citizenship papers and required schools to check the citizenship status of new students.

Federal courts have blocked parts of the law in response to lawsuits by the Obama administration and others, prompting Bentley and GOP leaders to support what they say are tweaks to the law. The Legis-lature has blocked efforts to repeal the law, with Republican backers saying they want Alabama to still have the nation’s toughest law on illegal immigration once the legis-lative session ends in a few weeks.

Georgia has a similar law on the books, and farmers there have had similar con-cerns about finding a work force to pick crops like Vidalia onions. Some farmers there have also said they were scaling back their acreage, fearing they wouldn’t find the workers to pick the crops.

While some immigrants who left the

state last fall in fear of the law have since returned, farmers said they still don’t know whether there will be enough workers to harvest crops. A major squash producer in north Alabama is cutting back produc-tion and moving some crops to Tennessee because of uncertainty over the law, said John Aplin, a fourth-generation farmer who serves on the state board that over-sees farmer markets statewide.

Aplin, who grows tomatoes and about 200 other varieties of produce on 200 acres near the Florida line, said he planted his regular crops and is hoping he can get them out of the fields when his first large tomato harvest begins later this month. Like other farmers, Aplin said he has had little luck finding Alabama natives who could or would perform the grueling field work that Hispanic immigrants have done for years.

“They’ll work a morning and come up at lunchtime and say, ‘I’m done,’” said Aplin.

Dickie, whose K&D Farms raises toma-toes on about 40 acres of rolling farmland, is eliminating one entire field from pro-duction this year in hope of having enough workers to harvest the rest. Sitting on a tractor during a break, he said he hopes the cutback is large enough to compensate for a second year of labor shortages.

“If it’s not I guess we’ll sell out and find something else to do,” he said.
