Personal bankruptcy filings break records The recent rise in bankruptcy filings is not surprising, said Steve Rhode, president and cofounder of Mjwesta.org, a nonprofit financial crisis and treatment center. Combine the weakening economy with the fact that more and more Americans are living close to the financial edge, and we will continue seeing record high bankruptcies in the months to come. According to the U.S. Administrative Courts, bankruptcy filings hit a rfecord high during the second quarter of 2001. Bankruptcy filings from April 1 to June 30, 2001 increased 24.5 percent from the previous year to 400,394 cases. The percent of adults in the U.S. who filed for bankruptcy in the 12 month period ending June 30, 2001 was 0.64 percent. (The previous release incorrectly stated that the percentage was almost 6.5 percent). People are lining up at the courthouse doors to solve their lems cannot be washed away by the bankruptcy courts. Bankruptcy is a legal, financial solul, tion used to solve issues. non-lega- non-financi- al Financial problems are a symptom of underljring life issues, Rhode said. Unless you address those issues, money problems will tinue. At least 10 percent of people who file for bankruptcy will file a second time, according to Mjwesta, many will continue to experience financial difficulties. Just like other compulsive disorders, money disorders are the result of emotional states such as stress, anxiety, depression, envy and boredom, Rhode said. People experience financial trouble because they have unrealistic money goals, a shop- ping addiction, compulsive spending, impulsive spending, issues andor a lack, of personal responsibility and financial awareness. Before you file for bankruptcy, financial troubles, but bankis the look almost never for a comprehensive soluruptcy right tion to end your financial probsolution, Rhode said.

A hew ranger operations and maintenance facility for the National Park Service, and a new support facility for the park concessioner would also be constructed. Construction would be in areas already disturbed by ' . V- - WW earlier building construction or by the installation of existing underground utilities.
