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 pro-hibited from starting or continuing collec-tion efforts. The following bankruptcies declared by Calhoun County residents were recorded by U.S. Bankruptcy Court Northern District of Alabama last week:

ST. LOUIS — Breathing has become increasingly difficult for Jeanne Lampe, who spends her days hooked to an oxygen tank.

Lampe, 79, has “end stage” emphy-sema, but still lives at home in a south St. Louis apartment. She’s visited twice a week by a nurse from Hope Hospice Inc., which also provides a massage therapist, a social worker, a chaplain and workers to help with showers and chores — all paid for by Medicare.

When the end comes, she’s resolved to die at home, on her own terms.

“Death itself doesn’t bother me, but emphysema is a crappy death. You’re basi-cally gasping for breath,” she said. “When I’m ready to go, I want morphine and a margarita.”

Lampe is among a fast-growing num-ber of patients who are choosing hospice, which seeks to provide comfort rather than a cure. Advocates say the trend holds great potential to hold down runaway U.S. health costs by steering end-of-life patients away from more expensive and aggressive hos-pital care. But the industry’s rapid growth also presents regulatory challenges to fed-eral authorities concerned about unethi-cal recruitment of patients and the cherry-picking of less complex but more profitable cases.

The number of hospice patients on Medicare doubled to 1.1 million between 1998 and 2008, according to the federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. Another estimate of hospice patients this year, from the National Hospice & Pallia-tive Care Organization, put the number at 1.6 million.

“With the aging population and many people suffering from chronic illnesses, the number of people choosing hospice has exploded,” said Melissa D.A. Carlson, an assistant professor at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York. “As people under-stand hospice, they want more and more to stay at home with their family.”

And more and more health care provid-ers want to get into the burgeoning mar-ket. About 58 percent of Americans still die without hospice care, says the National Hospice & Palliative Care Organization, leaving ample room to grow the business.

A decade ago, hospice care was a niche dominated by nonprofit organizations. But now at least two-thirds of licensed hos-pices in the St. Louis area are run by for-profit companies, according to the state Department of Health and Senior Services. And about 80 percent of Medicare-certi-fied hospice providers entering the mar-ket between 2000 and 2009 were for-profit firms, according to a study published in June by Health Affairs, a Bethesda, Md.-based policy journal.

“There’s obviously money to be made,” said Carlson, who co-authored the study.

In the big picture, advocates say, hos-pice offers more quality of life and dignity in death — at much lower cost. In St. Louis County, for instance, providers receive a daily rate from Medicare of $144.91 for each patient in “routine” hospice care. That typically includes the cost of drugs,

medical equipment, supplies, and nursing care, but not room and board.

By contrast, hospitalization in an inten-sive care unit can cost upwards of $10,000 a day, including drugs, equipment and staff costs.

“It is a phenomenal benefit to the fam-ily members and the patient as well as the health care delivery system,” said Judy Alexander-Weber, president and chief executive of the Visiting Nurse Association of Greater St. Louis, a nonprofit whose hos-pice workers visit residences and nursing homes. “It’s the most cost-effective way to manage end-of-life care.”

Costs aside, many hospice patients choose that option out of a more funda-mental desire to control their destiny and manner of dying.

Benny Davenport, 84, a former flight engineer and auto mechanic, resides in St. Charles County, Mo., with his wife Mar-tha — and wants to keep it that way until his death. SSM Hospice is helping his wife take care of him as his lung cancer spreads through his body.

“I want to clone my nurse,” Davenport said. “I’m as happy as I can be.”

Greater use of hospice by terminally ill patients, advocates say, would improve quality of life and help save Medicare funds for future generations.

Hospice is “the best, well-rounded care because you have all the disciplines involved,” said Jane Moore, executive direc-tor of the Jefferson City-based Missouri Hospice & Palliative Care Association.

Helen Cassidy, director of Mercy Hos-pice, said that as a nurse she grew tired of seeing people die in the hospital with-out the comfort of loved ones and familiar surroundings. “When it’s your own home, you maintain control,” she said. “For dying people, it’s important to maintain control.”

Walter Sanders, a cancer patient who turned 80 on Wednesday, has been in hos-pice care with the Visiting Nurse Associa-tion since June 15. The retired Continental Can worker lives in south St. Louis with his disabled son, Gary, 55.

“At home, you have more freedom,” he said. “If I want to go out in the yard and sit I can do that. I can look at my flowers.”

The rush into the hospice marketplace, however, has raised concerns from regu-lators, investigators and academics about the potential for unethical operators.

Carlson questioned whether for-profit hospices may be “cherry picking” their mix of patients to increase their profits.

“A longer length of stay is more profitable for a hospice,” Carlson said. “They tend to have patients with non-cancer diagnoses. My guess is that they aggressively seek out patients with other diagnoses.”

A study published last year in the Jour-nal of the American Medical Association found that for-profit hospice providers were more likely to have patients who require less complex, less costly care — but stay longer in hospice.

The study found, for instance, that for-profit firms have a higher proportion of patients residing in nursing homes. These patients are more likely to have demen-tia, which means they probably will live longer but have fewer needs than cancer patients.

Is hospice a better way to die?

By HannaH allamMcClatchy Newspapers

WASHINGTON — Never, ever say the word “revolution.”

Protesters are to be called “terrorists” at all times. When a listener calls in to praise the president, you must agree in flowery terms. When suffering civilians beg you to describe their plight, you ignore them.

Those are just a few of the rules imposed on Honey al-Sayed in the final weeks before she abandoned her nationally broadcast radio show, “Good Morning, Syria,” which drew millions of listeners each day.

Eight months ago, al-Sayed left Damas-cus under the pretense of pursuing her studies, though she knew she was fleeing

both the regime of President Bashar Assad and a rebel movement that’s killed media personalities who are seen as pro-govern-ment. For months after al-Sayed left, the radio station continued to play promotion-al jingles for her show, to cover her depar-ture and make her return seem imminent even when it became apparent that she was gone for good.

She’s used her blog and social media accounts to support the uprising but she’s kept silent about her own departure, most-ly out of fear for her family still in Damas-cus, she said, but also because of lingering shame that she believed in Assad’s poten-tial for reform long after the death toll was in the thousands.

Now she’s telling her story, offering a

rare portal into the regime’s propaganda machine and an explanation for why Assad remained attractive to so many Syrians for so long.

“The reason I left was to keep what’s left of my personal and professional integrity,” al-Sayed, who’s 39, said in a three-hour interview in Washington, where she’s liv-ing as a refugee. “I compromised it. But I didn’t know what else to do. I had fear.”

Al-Sayed got her break in 2005, when Assad ushered in some mainly cosmetic reforms, including the right to private media ownership. Some of her friends seized on the chance to open the country’s first independent radio station, Al-Madina FM, and they hired al-Sayed for the cov-eted morning slot.

As al-Sayed sees it, she was a pres-sure valve that helped fed-up Syrians blow off steam without really threatening the regime. She embodied the Western-friendly Syria that Assad projected when he inherited power from his father in 2000: She challenged old taboos on women, embraced a secular lifestyle, spoke a cool patois of English and Arabic, and made bold on-air jokes about rampant govern-ment corruption. She prided herself on pushing against the regime’s red lines.

“That’s why people became loyal to him,” she said of Assad’s efforts to rebrand his family’s authoritarian dynasty. “When you don’t have anything, and suddenly you have something — even if it’s very little, even if it’s your right — it’s like candy.”

Former Syrian radio star struggles with exile

STAMFORD, Conn. — Alexis Molina was just 10 years old when his mother was abruptly cut out of his life and his carefree childhood unraveled overnight.

“She went for her papers,” he says. “And she never came back.”

Alexis’ father, Rony Molina, a land-scaper, was born in Guatemala but has lived here for 12 years and is an Ameri-can citizen. Alexis, now 11, and his 8-year-old brother, Steve, are Americans, too. So is their 19-year-old stepsister, Evelin. But their mother, Sandra, who lived here illegally, was deported to Guatemala a year and a half ago.

“How can my country not allow a mother to be with her children, espe-cially when they are so young and they need her,” Rony Molina asks, “and especially when they are Americans?”

It’s a question thousands of other families are wrestling with as a record number of deportations means record numbers of American children being left without a parent — despite Presi-dent Barack Obama’s promise that his administration would focus on remov-ing only criminals.

Nearly 45,000 such parents were removed in the first six months of this year, says the federal department of Immigration and Customs Enforce-ment (ICE).

At least 5,100 U.S. citizen children in 22 states live in foster care, according to an estimate by the Applied Research Center, a New York-based advocacy organization, which first reported on such cases last year.

And an unknown number of those children are being put up for adop-tion against the wishes of their parents, who, once deported, are often helpless to fight when a U.S. judge decides that their children are better off here.

“I had no idea what was happen-ing,” says Janna Hakim of the morning in 2010 when a loud knocking at her Brooklyn apartment door jolted her awake. It was the first Friday of Rama-dan, and her Palestinian mother, Faten, was in the kitchen baking the pastries she sold to local stores.

Janna, then 16, and her siblings were all born here. None knew that their mother was in the U.S. illegally — or that a deportation order from years earlier meant she could be whisked away by ICE agents and her family’s comfortable New York life could come crashing to a halt.

“I am not a criminal. I am the moth-er of American children and they need me, especially the younger ones,” she cried over the phone from Ramal-lah, where she is living with her own mother after 20 years away. “How can a country break up families like this?”

Critics say the parents are to blame for entering the country illegally in the first place.

“Yes, these are sad stories,” says Bob Dane, spokesman for the Federation for American Immigration Reform, which advocates tougher enforcement against illegal immigration. “But these

parents have taken a reckless gamble with their children’s future by sneaking into the country illegally, knowing they could be deported.”

“Not to deport them,” he continued, “gives them the ultimate bonus pack-age, and creates an incentive for others to do the same thing.”

Others, including Obama, say split-ting up families is wrong.

“When nursing mothers are torn from their babies, when children come home from school to find their parents missing ... when all this is happening, the system just isn’t working and we need to change it,” Obama declared during his first run for president in 2008. A year ago, he told a Texas audi-ence that deportation should target “violent offenders and people con-victed of crimes; not families, not folks who are just looking to scrape together an income.”

And, last year ICE announced a new policy of “prosecutorial discretion” that directs agents to consider how long someone has been in the country, their ties to communities and whether that person’s spouse or children are U.S. citizens.

“That gave us a lot of hope,” said David Leopold, general counsel for The American Immigration Lawyers Association. “Now we are all scratch-ing our heads wondering where is the discretion when many of our lawyers continue to see people being deported with no criminal record, including par-ents of American children.”

———“Quiet, slow-motion tragedies

unfold every day ... as parents caught up in immigration enforcement are separated from their young children and disappear,” Nina Rabin, an asso-ciate clinical professor of law at the University of Arizona, wrote last year in “Disappearing Parents: A Report on Immigration Enforcement and the Child Welfare System.”

Rabin, an immigration lawyer, says one of the most unsettling experiences of her life was witnessing the “cruel and nightmarish destruction” of one Mexican family whom she represented in a fruitless attempt to keep a mother and her children together.

The mother, Amelia Reyes-Jimenez, carried her blind and paralyzed baby boy, Cesar, across the Mexican border in 1995 seeking better medical care, Rabin said.

She settled in Phoenix — illegally — and had three more children, all Amer-ican citizens. In 2008 she was arrested after her disabled teen son was found home alone.

Locked in detention, clueless as to her rights or what was happening to her children, she pleaded guilty to child endangerment charges, and then spent two years fighting to stay with her children.

Twice her attorneys tried to con-vince an immigration judge that she qualified for a visa “on account of the harm that would be done to her three U.S. citizen children if she were to be deported,” Rabin said. She lost and was deported back to Mexico in 2010.
