Information about Purchasing Property from
Whitman County
The Whitman County Treasurer conducts three types of real
property auctions. The sale types are: tax foreclosure, tax-title and
county owned surplus property sales. The tax foreclosure sale is typically
held the second Friday in December each year. The tax title and surplus
sales are held as needed.
Anyone considering buying property at a Treasurer's sale should
be aware that THERE ARE RISKS. When selling parcels, the county conveys
the entirety of the interest, which it is legally capable of transferring,
unless otherwise noted. However, the county does not guarantee or provide
warranty to the extent of interest. The county makes NO GUARANTEES
whatsoever on parcels sold at Treasurer's sales. This is a "BUYER BEWARE"
sale. ALL SALES ARE FINAL. We offer parcels on a "where is" and "as
is" basis. The County makes no representation of warranty, expressed or
implied, as to the condition of the title to any property, nor the physical
condition of any property or its fitness for any use or purpose.
Tax Foreclosure
When real property taxes become three or more years delinquent,
the County Treasurer begins foreclosure action, In the fall of each year a
Certificate of Delinquency is filed with Superior Court. After the filing
of this document ALL the delinquent taxes must be paid to redeem the property
from foreclosure. Whitman County does not sell tax certificates or tax
deeds. Interest, penalties and foreclosure costs are charged against the
property as well as the delinquent tax amount. Title reports are ordered
for each parcel and add to the costs. As required by law, all parties with
a recorded legal interest are served with a Notice and Summons by certified mail
and given 30 days to respond. In addition, the Notice and Summons is
published in the Whitman County Gazette, the newspaper with general circulation
in this county.
The Treasurer receives a judgment from the court authorizing
foreclosure of the tax liens and ordering the sale of those parcels. Only
owners or parties with a recorded legal interest on the date the Certificate of
Delinquency is filed may redeem the property from foreclosure. All the
delinquent tax, penalty, interest and costs must be paid by 4:00 p.m. the day
before the sale or the property will be sold.
This year's sale is expected to be Dec 9, 2011,
in the Commissioners Chambers, in the Whitman County Courthouse, N. 400 Main
Street, Colfax, Washington, at 10:00am. You or your agent must be present to bid.
You will be asked to register at the sale. This is an oral auction.
If you are the successful bidder on a parcel you will be asked to pay for the
parcel immediately after the item is sold. The terms of the sale are cash,
cashier's check, or money order. There are no payment plans available.
Prior owners have no rights of redemption after foreclosure,
unless they were a minor or legally adjudicated incompetent. Generally,
all liens on foreclosed properties are extinguished. IRS liens have a 120
day redemption period. Any known IRS liens will be announced before the
parcel is sold.
If a parcel is sold at auction for more than the amount owing,
the owner of record at the time the Certificate of Delinquency was filed can
claim the surplus money up to three years after the actual sale.
Be aware that if your property is sold
in foreclosure you do not need to pay anyone a commission to obtain the excess proceeds
from the sale of your property. Homeowners
should be on guard for scams targeting those with unpaid mortgage loans or delinquent
property taxes. Don't become a victim
of a foreclosure rescue scam.
Tax Title Property
Parcels not sold at the foreclosure sale are deeded to the
County and become Tax Title property. They may be purchased from the
County through a different process, however, they are subject to the same risks
as tax foreclosure parcels.
Tax title properties may be purchased at public auction or by
private sale. Tax title property valued under $500 and not considered
buildable may be sold to an adjoining landowner without holding a public
auction. All other Tax title property must be sold at public auction.
To start the process, an application to purchase tax title
property, along with a $25 deposit, is submitted to the Treasurer. The
applications are available from the Treasurer's Office. The application is
then presented to the Board of County Commissioners. The Commissioners
decided if it is in the counties best interest to sell the property or retain
the property. The Public Works Department is usually consulted in this
process. If the application is rejected, the $25 deposit is refundable.
If approved, the Treasurer schedules a public auction and the applicant is
notified of the date, time and location. According to state law, the
auction must be advertised in the local newspaper for three consecutive weeks.
If the applicant is the successful bidder, the $25 deposit is
applied to the purchase amount of the parcel. The deposit is refunded to
the applicant if they are not the successful bidder. The applicant must
attend the sale and guarantee the minimum bid or the deposit is non-refundable.
Surplus Property
County owned parcels, not acquired through tax foreclosure, can
be purchased if the Board of County Commissioners has declared the "surplus".
Purchasing County owned surplus property is done through public
auction or private sale. County owned surplus properties valued less than
$2500 may be sold without going to public auction. The Board of County
Commissioners determine if the property will be auctioned or not. All
other County owned surplus property must be sold a public auction. To
start the process, a letter of intent to purchase County owned surplus property
is submitted to the Board of County Commissioners. The Commissioners
approve or reject the sale. If approved, the Treasurer schedules a public
auction and the applicant is notified of the date, time and location. The
Auction is advertised in the legal notices of the newspaper for two consecutive
The Board of County Commissioners may order the Treasurer to
conduct an auction of Tax Title or County surplus properties without the request
or application form from an individual.
Nearly all the Tax Title and surplus County owned property in
Whitman County has been liquidated. No separate list exists which identify
only the properties Whitman County has retained, which are surplus to its needs.
If you wish a copy of our entire tax roll contact our office.
The information is available by email or CD. The charge is $240 and you
are required to sign an affidavit which states that you understand Washington
State law prohibits anyone from using this information for commercial purposes.
"Commercial Purposes" means that the person requesting the record intends that
the list will be used to communicate with the individual names in the record for
the purpose of facilitating profit expecting activity.
The deed is completed, recorded with the Auditor, and mailed to
the purchaser within 30 days of the sale. Tax deeds are issued for
property purchased at tax foreclosure sales. Treasurer's deeds are issued
for tax title parcels. Quit Claim Deeds are issued on County owned surplus
property. A warranty deed will be issued if the county owns clear title to
the property.
Tax deeds, Treasurers Deeds and Quit Claim Deeds provide the
purchasers no guarantees. There can be a clouded title or other problems for
which the County is neither aware of, nor responsible.
Thorough research on all potential purchases is essential.
It is important to complete this research before the day of the sale.
There are definite risks when buying tax foreclosure and tax title properties.
Buying property without doing research can result in unwanted and costly
The Auction
Minimum bid sheets are available at the Treasurer's Office
before the auction or on our website: whitmancounty.org/treasurer/landsaleinformation.
You or your agent must be present at the oral auction if you
wish to bid. All bidders must register the morning of the sale and each
bidder will receive a bidder card. The terms of the sale will be available
when you register and will be read before the sale begins.
Only cash, cashiers check or money order will be accepted.
Absolutely NO personal or business checks will be accepted.
You will be expected to pay for the property immediately after
the item is sold. There will be no time allowed to go to the bank.
Web Site
Information about the County sales is posted to the web page
when available. You can expect to find the foreclosure information on our web site after
September 30,
each year. In addition, the information will be available in our
office after that date.
The minimum bid list will be posted to the website 10 days in
advance of the sale.

Author: LCpl Wright 17 Field Squadron 101 Engineer Regiment (EOD)
If Carlsberg did rugby tours, this would probably be the best rugby tour in the world! At 0415 hrs on the 09 March 2013 after eagerly awaiting this moment for many months, twenty-six members of the Redwings RFC made up of players from 33 and 101 Engr Regt (EOD) turned up at the Regimental parade square bright and early to leave for NYC.
Albeit for a few stragglers claiming their alarms didn't go off, we left Wimbish Station pretty much dead on time and made our way to London Heathrow for our Virgin Atlantic flight to John. F. Kennedy airport NYC. For most of it the journey was quiet, apart from a few of the usual loud ones, but you could just feel the excitement amongst everyone. All twenty-six men wearing the same Redwings tracksuit knowing that what we were about to do over the coming week was unheard of at Regimental sports level.
After eight hours in the air, wheels touched down at JFK airport 1300 hrs local time and it didn't take long for everyone to perk up; we were fast tracked through customs, luggage collected, boarded our coach and it was off to the hotel. By this time everybody was itching to drop kit off in the rooms, knowing that the next timing was Monday morning for training in Central park.
Monday morning we all met in the hotel lobby and made the 5 minute walk into Central park to train. We found ourselves an area and with a few local spectators we started the session. We trained hard, practised our game plans as forwards and backs, then as whole team. Finally we brought it all together at the end of the session and finished on a high, with the right mindset needed for the upcoming games.
Tuesday morning the Redwings met in the lobby once again for another hard training session at Central park. In the afternoon, dressed in smart MTP uniform we were ready for our cultural visit to the NYPD Bomb squad at the 6th Precinct. We travelled via the subway which was a short ride downtown. We were greeted on arrival by members of the NYPD bomb squad who were extremely welcoming to us, as were the whole of the Bomb squad that were present. We had a great time exchanging war stories and looking around their facilities and through some of the kit they had available to them. At the end of the visit some of the lads had various bits of memorabilia to leave with.
Wednesday was MATCHDAY! Our opposition was County Union RFC, we had an evening kick-off at the Tiger Stadium which was 45 minutes out of the city. It was clear that everybody in the squad had turned up fully prepared to win. We changed into our match strips and got out on the pitch for a warm up. The match started and it was a hard fought contest with some big hits and great plays. The game came down to the very last play when we were given a penalty 50m from the posts. Spr Mark Adamson stepped up and wanted to kick! With the pressure of the game on his shoulders he absolutely belted the ball straight as a dye through the middle of the posts to win the game 23-20. Needless to say we all went mental!
Thursday morning saw a few sore heads, both from the game and after the hosting they put on for us post game. However today a group of the Redwings were heading a bit further upstate New York to put on some coaching and mentoring for some schools, this was to raise awareness and promote Rugby to children in America. The day was very successful and was received with great enthusiasm, and appreciation.
Friday morning saw another good training session in preparation for our final game on the Saturday. After a day of rest the squad turned up looking sharp and mentally prepared for another game which was sure to be tough, drills were slick and confidence was high, the Redwings were definitely enjoying and relishing the experience of the tour.
The afternoon was set out to be a great day visiting Ground Zero and then the Empire State building. Again dressed in immaculate uniform we headed out into New York and arrived at Ground Zero. It was an extremely humbling experience visiting a place where so many people had lost their lives and to see where the fuse was lit to initiate current military operations. We were met by many tourists who expressed their gratitude towards us and our comrades. Lots of children and families wanted to take photos with us, it was very heart warming to feel this appreciation from so many!
We then moved onto our second visit of the day which was to the Empire State building, we were going to try and recreate the scene from the movie King Kong by sending SSgt Nathan Young to the top, but after exceeding the weight limit in the lift we had to abort. We all had a great time and its great to be able to say that we had the opportunity of visiting this famous landmark.
Saturday was a big day, for two reasons. Firstly it was our final game against White Plains RFC and secondly it was the final of the Six Nations between England and Wales. We were all up early as our game had been brought forward so that we would be able to watch the second half of the Six Nations. Our final game was tough but it was a very tight fought contest, we had some great possession and made some great breaks. We battled all the way to the end when White Plains managed to sneak in a winning try. This game saw great desire and ambition from the squad with an outstanding performance from Spr Sean Cairns. The final score was 17-12 to White Plains. The tour was topped off for the entire Welsh minority of the squad in the bar as they watched Wales marginally beat England.
Sunday was the day to pack and leave for England. It had been a great week with friendships and team camaraderie growing with each day. The experience of a tour this size at Regimental level will most likely never be seen again, but for everyone involved who had the opportunity to take part will remember it for years to come, and will always be grateful to every person involved in the organising of the event, but especially to Capt Andy Sanger MBE who put in huge amounts of effort and time to make it happen.

DJ Muggs Vs. GZA Grandmasters
Longing for the glory days of the Wu-Tang? Look no further than this no-brainer collaboration between Cypress Hill's DJ Muggs and the Wu's GZA (who worked together on the '97 album, Muggs Presents The Soul Assassins). As Muggs' production is often Wu-Tang-esque, this paring works all the better. On songs like "Exploitation of Mistakes," Muggs' eerie, drum-heavy beat fuels the fire that is the GZA's vividly chilling narrative. And at only 12 tracks deep, these two maintain the same quality throughout. The only real problem with this album is that Muggs presents it as a mash-up release (see the "versus" in the title). There's no battling or convergence of contrasting sounds going on here–this is an affable collaboration between two of hip-hop's finest. Period.

The Pet Connection: Activity trackers give clues to dogs' health issues
I've been wearing an activity tracker for the past six weeks, and it's a good incentive to get up and move a little more so I can make my goal of 10,000 steps per day. But what about my dogs? Are they getting their recommended daily dose of exercise?
You probably won't be surprised to learn that wearable activity monitors are available for pets – they drew a lot of attention at the Western Veterinary Conference in Las Vegas last February – but how do they work, and how accurate and useful are they?
The tiny accelerometers contain a sensor that detects movement in all directions. Some units contain GPS capabilities that provide specific information on geographic location and distance traveled. They may also monitor heart and respiratory rates.
The benefit for pets – primarily dogs – is the ability to monitor how active they are every day. A lot of us probably think our dogs spend time running around in the yard chasing squirrels while we're gone, but that's not necessarily the case. Those of us who work at home know that our dogs tend to snooze the day away, getting up only when we go to the kitchen or call them to go out for a walk.
Putting an activity tracker on your pet can be a wake-up call, alerting you that perhaps he's not quite as active as you imagined. While the monitors are good at detecting movement, they can't always differentiate between types of movement.
For instance, a dog who sniffs the ground vigorously while lying down moves his head enough to register activity on the tracker, but that doesn't qualify as exercise. And a dog who scratches all day will rack up minutes of activity, but that's also not true exercise.
Some measurements may not be as accurate for some movements, says internal medicine specialist Bess J. Pierce, director of the Center for Animal-Human Relationships at Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine in Blacksburg, Va.
"For example, in one study, there was no significant difference between trackers in all test dogs for trotting and walking, but the measurements became more variable when dogs were trotting up and down stairs." An activity tracker can't assess overall fitness, but it can be useful for determining how many minutes per day your pet is active and the distance he logs, whether he's running around in the yard, walking with you on leash or hiking off leash with the opportunity to run back and forth.
Most trackers allow you to monitor activity trends over time and keep logs or diaries of downloaded data. An app can allow you to compare his activity level to other dogs of a similar age, breed or size. And they're not just for young, active dogs.
"These monitors may be especially useful in geriatric dogs," Pierce says. "For example, if an older dog is arthritic and has a sudden decrease in activity level, then it may be associated with an acute flare-up of joint pain."
Other uses include helping veterinarians follow a pet's weight-loss progress or tracking scratching activity in dogs with allergies who are very itchy. A sudden decrease in activity could also signal a medical problem.
If you're thinking of getting a canine activity monitor, choose one that's pet-specific. Simply attaching your own device to his collar won't yield accurate results
"As long as a tracker is used within its limits, the information provided can be accurate and useful in monitoring your pet's activity," Pierce says. "Plus, it's just plain fun to see what your pet has been up to during the day."
The buzz
A therapy dog named Susie was named 2014 American Hero Dog at the American Humane Association Hero Dog Awards on Oct. 30. The pit bull mix from High Point, N.C., survived a savage beating and burning by her owner, who left her for dead. She was rescued and nursed back to health at a local shelter.
In a tear-worthy twist, Susie was adopted by Donna Lawrence, the victim of a dog attack that nearly killed her. Together, the two helped each other heal and helped bring about passage of the state's "Susie's Law," which sets harsher penalties for people convicted of animal abuse.
▪ When your pet undergoes surgery, is he properly hydrated? A recent study published in the American Journal of Veterinary Research confirmed the importance of giving IV fluids to pets during even minor surgical procedures to help maintain blood pressure and compensate for fluid loss.
Deborah Silverstein, associate professor at the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine, found that increasing the amount of fluid delivered to the animal enhanced the total number of small vessels – arterioles, venules and capillaries – receiving blood flow. The American Animal Hospital Association and the American Association of Feline Practitioners recommend IV drips during any surgery.

Donald Duck cartoonist dies
The man whose sketches brought the famous Disney character Donald Duck first to comics and then to the screen, has died in the United States.
Cartoonist Carl Barks, who was 99, died of leukaemia on Friday at his home in southern Oregon.
Mr Barks said in one of his interviews that he always identified with Donald Duck.
"I always felt myself to be an unlucky person like Donald, who is a victim of so many circumstances."
"But there isn't a person in the United States who couldn't identify with him. He is everything, he is everybody; he makes the same mistakes that we all make."
Farm boy
Carl Barks was born on a ranch in Merrill, Oregon in 1901 and said of his upbringing that he grew up with "well-armed cowboys".
He took a correspondence course in drawing and moved to San Francisco at the age of 17.
He failed to gain employment as an artist and after two years took a job as a farm worker and coach builder in Sacramento but continued to indulge in his passion for art.
He eventually got a job in Minneapolis as a comic writer and illustrator for the Calgary Eye-Opener.
He then went on to join Disney studios' art department where he drew 35 cartoon characters. He also wrote Donald Duck comic strips at Disney until he left in 1942 to become a chicken farmer.
It was in the 1940s that Mr Barks gave the duck a personality transplant.
"He was just a noisy, quarrelsome brat in the movies. When I started doing the comics in 1943, I couldn't do enough stories with him like that. So I changed Donald's character."
"I put him in a role where he had to act intelligently and speak well enough to put his thoughts across. He's a lot like a lot of us, though, wanting to speak his mind."

…My diet here in India has been almost strictly vegetarian. Religious practices forbid even bringing meat into the house. Just about every meal comes with chapati, a pure wheat flatbread that is a nice filler but is certainly overused. Dal is the next most popular item that we eat here. It is a yellow to brown soup made of dried lentils. Wherever the dal goes, chapati follows. Next on the rotation is a lightly curried mixture of potato and cauliflower. Sometimes, we also get a salad of chopped radish and cucumber. Breakfasts are usually a sugary version of chapati on which I like to add mixed fruit jam. These five dishes, plus chai tea and water, comprise about 80% of my diet. On rare occasions, rice is substituted in the place of chapati.
–A common lunch or dinner. We were sampling the green chilly too during this meal–
Today, however, we found a hidden gem of a restaurant. At the convergence of Sectors 7 and 10 is the Sector 10 market. It is about a 20 minute walk north of our home stay. I walk through it just about every day coming home from work or to go buy necessities. It is a dusty, loud, and unappealing stretch of road. I thought we would never find a good place to eat around here. Then we happened upon the unassuming Ever Green Restaurant.
Like most Indian establishments, little effort seemed to be given to its outward appearance. Hence, I had passed it dozens of times without ever giving it a chance. This time, however, we noticed that it had a picture of chicken tikka above the door which drew us in immediately.
A short walk upstairs led us into a much more cosmopolitan and modern dining room. I was just as impressed by the atmosphere here as I had been at the barber shop last week. We were the only people in the restaurant, but it was only noon, so it didn't bother me. We're used to eating lunch around 2 or 3pm and dinner around 8 or 9pm here.
We ordered what we thought would be an appropriate amount of meat and waited impatiently while trying to figure out the scoring of the five-day cricket test match between India and Australia that was playing on TV (which was a luxury because it was running on either a generator or batteries since the power was out).
Then the food started coming, and coming, and coming. The server waited on us like we were royalty, serving each person every dish and assuring that were completely satisfied. It was Indian food like I had never eaten before, and it was superb! We ate dishes called boneless butter chicken, chicken rara, chicken tikka, chicken seekh kabab, a mixed "non-veg" platter, and butter naan that was practically lethal. I had thought the dishes would be somewhat small since we ordered Rs 200 ($4) half-orders. They were not.
For $8 per person, we felt like kings eating our last supper. A meal this good and with this much meat in the states would have easily cost over $80. Right as we were paying the bill and thinking that nothing could have been better, a mouse ran from under the table next to us. I pretended not to notice and tried to forget about it. Maybe he was the cook from Ratatouille! Even with the mouse, I think we found our home away from home away from home.

Happy Easter everyone! I hope you're all having a fabulous Sunday morning and that the Easter bunny was super kind to you. I'm rather happy to be tucking into an absurd amount of mini eggs this morning – whilst still in my pajamas of course. Lucky me!
As it's Easter, and that's a LOT to do with family and chocolate – at least if you're not religious and me, I thought I'd share a chocolatey recipe that is one of our family's favourites – the humble peanut butter brownie. I made these yesterday for a barbecue and surprise surprise we've got only a couple left – they're that good. We've mentioned these in the past but never shared our slightly amended version of the Life is Peachy recipe. So we thought it was high time we did – enjoy this Easter gift!

- 100g smooth peanut butter

Anti Kean and Venkys protest were the order of the day. However going into two big away games the Rovers hadn't changed a thing.
The boxing day game at Anfield was the first that Rovers were going to lose. However in the first half the Blackburn team had not read the script. An own goal by former Blackpool striker Charlie Adam saw the Rovers lead one goal to nil at half time. Liverpool got a go back when the teams came back onto the field but one point from that game was great.
It was a trip to Old Trafford on New Years Eve to take on Manchester Utd that was the second of the two Christmas games that Rovers couldn't win. It was 2nd v bottom. All Utd had to do was draw to be top of the table on January the first.
Again, Rovers didn't read the script, the Yak taking the first half lead. In the second half Rovers even got a second but that two goal lead only lead for less than a minute as Utd got one back.
It wasn't long before Utd drew level. 2-2. With not long to go Manchester United piled on the pressure looking for the goal that would see them 3 points clear at the top. But it was Blackburn that got the goal. And managed to see out the rest of the game.
Blackburn taking 4 away points from 6.

Inmate Search – Find Out Who's In Jail
Do you have a family member, loved one, or friend that is locked up and need to locate them?
Has somebody that has been arrested and you want to find out where they are?
To search who's in jail at Hamilton County Jail you need to navigate to their link and use the inmate search.
Inmate Search
The Hamilton County Jail Inmate Lookup is a list of persons currently in custody, including custody status, bail amount (if applicable), and schedule for visitation. Also, you can find the same information on anyone who has been arrested or released in the past 24 hours. Prisoners are shown in alphabetical order by their last name. You can find their arrest information faster if you have their name, date of birth, or inmate ID Number.
If the person you are looking for could possibly be in another jail you will want to look here, too: Other Jails in Tennessee
A mugshot, also called a jail intake photo, is the photo that the jail takes when you get processed at jail intake. They will take one face photo and one profile photo. Your full name and booking number will be in the pictures, and they're on file at the jail.
View Mugshots
Mugshots can be seen on the website, or you can view them at the Hamilton County Jail. When you search for mugshots on the website you will have to enter the person's legal name, and a booking date, if you have one.
How To Get Your Mugshot Removed
Trying to figure out how to get your mugshot removed from the Hamilton County Jail website? This is difficult, since the mugshot is a matter of public record. You must file a 'Petition to Expunge'. What this means is that all of your arrest records would be sealed, and unavailable to the public. Depending on your situation, this may be a longshot.
For more information about getting your mugshot taken down, the various mugshot websites, and the websites that offer to remove your mugshot for you: How To Get Your Mugshot Removed
Bail & Bail Bondsmen – How To Get Out of Jail
Obviously, once you're locked up, your primary thought is about how to get out. After you've been booked, a bail amount will be set either by bail schedule or magistrate. If you don't get a bail set this might mean that you will either get released, pending trial, or you must remain in jail until your trial.
If you are released from jail you are required to promise to be in court on your court date, and in the meantime you won't be permitted to leave the area.
Typically, an inmate will earn time off in exchange for good behavior if they follow the rules and don't cause any problems while locked up.
If you do exhibit good behavior and the jail believes you can be trusted, you may be allowed to do work release. You will either have to return to the jail every day after work, or you might have the chance to live in a halfway house instead of the jail.
Your bail is money that you are required to pay to be released from jail until your trial. Your bail amount depends on the crime you've been charged with. You or someone you know will have to post ten percent of the total that was determined so you can bail out of jail. If you don't go to your court date, that person will lose all of the bail money.
Find Out How Much Someone's Bail Is
You will need to call the Hamilton County Jail or the County Courthouse. If know the pertinent information, like name, address and date of birth, they'll let you know how much their bail is. You can also check their bail amount and status online.
How To Bail Someone Out of Jail
Posting bail to get out of jail is never fun, but thankfully, its easy if you have the money. First, you have to find out if they have a Cash Only Bond. If so, you can't use the services of a bondsman. Bail can only be paid by cash – they will not accept a check. As soon as you've paid the bail bond, the inmate will be discharged. If this person doesn't violate any of the terms of their release, you will get this money back.
Bail Bondsman
If bail is set too high, or you just can't afford to pay it, you should try to hire a bail bondsman. They will usually charge a fee of 10-15% of the bail amount, and in most cases charge a minimum charge of $100. This money is non-refundable and must be paid in cash. If bail is very large, the bail bondsman will in these cases ask to use your assets as collateral in addition to the fee they charge.

Jail Policies and Procedures
Intake Procedures / Booking
The jail intake procedure includes the following steps:
- You will get put in a holding cell. If the jail is busy, you will have to wait a while to get processed.
- The first step is that you will have to answer some basic questions, like what is your full name, home address, birth date and a contact person.
- They'll also ask you about your mental and medical history.
- You'll be given an inmate number.
- You will get fingerprinted.
- You will have your mugshot taken.
- Any personal property you have will get taken away from you and stored until you are released.
- They will allow you to use the phone in order to get in touch with a member of your family, friend, or bail bondsman.
- If you are expected to be released shortly, you might be able to wear your own clothes, but if you are not expected to make bail quickly you will have to change into a jail uniform.
Have you ever been arrested and gone through the jail intake procedure? If so, please share your experience so others can benefit from your story. How long did it take? Were you treated fairly? Can you share any secrets that will help other people that get arrested to get through jail intake?

Discharge Procedures
When you pay your bail, you will be discharged from jail. The discharge process takes from 30 minutes to hours or even all day long. Or, simply, the quicker bail is posted, the sooner you will get released. Also, how fast you get released can depend on whether you've been given a cash bond or if the judge has to figure out how much to set your bail at. For a minor offense, you will simply be booked and then released on your recognizance without having to pay bail. When you have served your sentence and are given a discharge date, you should expect to be released that morning.
How To Turn Yourself In
If the sheriff has a, or if you need to begin your sentence in jail, you really should do the right thing and go down to the jail and turn yourself in. In the case of an outstanding warrant, go down to the jail, in the reception area, and tell someone that think that there is a warrant out for your arrest. They will check to see if you have a warrant, and if there is one, you will be taken into custody. If you have a jail sentence to serve, report at the exact time and date that the sentence order or court paperwork states. Be very careful that you get don't get there late, or they may decide to arrest you. Only bring approved items with you, for example a driver's license or even ID, any prescription medication you might take, along with your doctor's prescription, as well as a sentencing order.
Visitation Procedures
To have visitors, you must list the name and date of birth of each visitor to the jail in advance of the visit. Your visitor's names will be put in a log of approved visitors as an approved visitor. Each visitor is required to provide identification. Visitors arriving late or any visitors that are not approved to visit will not be allowed to attend visitation.
Visitation procedures can change, so double-check the official site before you try to visit an inmate.
Visiting Hours
Phone Calls & Phone Usage Policy
All phone calls from jail are collect calls or through a pre-paid phone account. Phone calls made in jail are much more expensive than phone calls made at home. Inmates are able to make phone calls, with restrictions on when you can make phone calls, how long you can talk, and how often you can make calls, but inmates must keep in mind that a long line can form at the phones, because everyone wants to use the phone, too. If you break the rules and are disciplined, an inmate's phone privileges could be reduced or forbidden.
The Hamilton County Jail phone number is: (423) 209-7154
Sending Mail to Inmates
All inmate mail must be sent via the actual US Postal Service, and not courier or delivery, or hand delivered. You shouldn't use any other method of delivery. Clearly print the inmate's name, prisoner number, and jail address on the outside of the letter that you send. Don't send a box, padded envelope, bag, or an envelope containing metal parts. All mail sent to inmates will be opened and reviewed by staff, and the mail will get returned if the jail decides it is inappropriate.
Mailing Address
Use this address when sending a letter to an inmate at Hamilton County Jail:

601 Walnut Street
Chattanooga, TN 37402
Here is how you should address the letter:

Chattanooga, TN 37402
The Hamilton County Jail inmate mail policy changes often, so we suggest that you visit the official website before you send a letter to an inmate.
Court Information
Get A Lawyer
When you get arrested, you should know you still have rights, one of these being that you have the right to request an attorney. You are only allowed to make so many phone calls in jail, so it is a good idea to ask a friend or family member to find an attorney for you. You're probably asking yourself 'why do I need a lawyer?' You are not required to have an attorney for some criminal charges, a criminal defense lawyer will advise you about your rights, look after your best interests and show you the way through the criminal justice system in Hamilton County. The faster you get a lawyer involved with your situation, the better.
For more information about how to find a lawyer, visit: How to Find an Attorney
Public Defender
If you are in trouble, but can't afford a lawyer, you will get a public defender. The Public Defender's Office has a number of staff such as independent investigators, experts in forensics as well as social case workers. You will be reassured to know that Public Defenders are full-fledged attorneys, admitted to the Tennessee State Bar Association and are legally licensed to practice law.
Have you or someone you know had to use a court appointed attorney? Are you satisfied with how they handled your case and represented you in court?
Court Records
All court records are public records. They are comprised of a case file containing a sheet called a docket sheet and each of the motions, documents, and evidence filed in the case. You are able to access your court records via the online service, or by going to the Clerk of Court.
Clerk of Court
A Clerk of Court is a member of the court that maintains court records and controls access to them. The Clerk of Court also administer the oath for anyone testifying in court, and read the verdict when delivered by the jury. All records and documents from your case are kept and available to you at Hamilton County Clerk of Court office.
Court costs and court fees are the charges from your case, such as for example filing charges, motion and claim fees, and court appearance fees. If you can't afford to pay these fees and have a Public Defender, you may not have to pay them.
A Magistrate is the judge that presides on your case. They do several different things, such as deciding a bail amount, writing arrest warrants, and presiding over initial court appearances and detention proceedings.
A defendant's pre-sentencing report is prepared with the defendant's background information and details of the arrestee's life, which the magistrate will review and take into consideration when determining the sentence. Information will be collected from the defendant, the defendant's family, and in some circumstances the victim in the crime. Don't forget you are able to ask to get your own copy of the report before sentencing, so you have the opportunity to review it for accuracy and completeness, and correct any mistakes.
When you are convicted of a crime, you will then get sentenced. The presiding judge in your case will weigh several options when determining your sentence, including community service and probation, to even incarceration in jail or prison. Depending on the severity of the crime, you will either be taken into custody, right there in court, or given a date that you must to surrender and report to jail to serve your term.

Life In Jail / What Its Like
Daily Life
Everyone knows that getting locked up in the Hamilton County jail is quite unpleasant, eventually you will get used to the daily routine there. Inmates get an alarm to wake up at about 6:00AM, and then you'll have roll call. Next, you will eat breakfast. When you finish breakfast you will be required to work in the work program or other activity that you are assigned. This could be working in the kitchen, laundry, or some sort of manufacturing job. While this may seem tedious, it may help you when you leave jail, as you are gaining experience in a certain field of work. Other inmates go to school, while some take part in mandated treatment programs. After lunch, there will be another roll call, then back to work. Your evening will be spent either in your cell or a common room. During this time dinner is served and you will be expected to take a shower. After another roll call, it's lights out. Even though you will be confined to your cell, there may be enough light to read or write letters. Then again, most inmates welcome lights out, and try to get as much sleep as they can.
Most people are frightened at the idea of jail because they don't know what to expect. If you have spent any time in Hamilton County Jail, your experiences would be welcomed, if it can help another person to deal with it.
Dress Code
When incarcerated, all inmates are expected to wear the Hamilton County Jail uniform. This is normally a jumpsuit or scrubs. Of note to anyone visiting an inmate – you must be properly dressed. Any clothing considered inappropriate will not be permitted.
How To Send Money to an Inmate
You will have your own 'bank account' while in jail. This money is used to purchase items from the Commissary. Family and friends can deposit money into this account for you, and any money you earn while in prison will also be deposited into your account. Outside money can be paid in to your account via a money order, cash or check. If someone sends a check or money order, make sure that they write your inmate ID on it. The maximum amount you are allowed in your account is $290 per month.
The rules for sending funds to Hamilton County Jail inmates is always changing, so it would be best to review the the Hamilton County Jail website before you send any funds.
The commissary is the jail store. You can purchase a number of things here, such as toiletries, snacks and writing supplies. Bear in mind that you will probably want to use the commissary daily, and any infractions will get that privilege taken away from you.
Inmate Medications
If you are on any type of prescription medication, you will be allowed to continue taking it while in jail. When you are first processed, you will be asked what medication you take. You will then be referred to the jail nurse or doctor who will be in charge of monitoring your health and prescribing your medication.
You will get three meals a day: breakfast, lunch and dinner. As expected, they are very basic, but healthy. A typical breakfast might be cereal, toast, coffee and fruit. Lunch might be spaghetti, salad, bread and milk. Dinner could be chicken casserole, rice, vegetables, dessert and milk. Contrary to popular belief, prison food has greatly improved over the years, and you might find that it's not much different from what you would eat at home.
Pods / The Yard
The jail is designed in a 'pod' layout, with self-contained housing arranged around an outdoor yard. Each pod has a central control station and a common room, and the inmates take turns in using the yard. The jail is designed this way to keep certain inmates together, and others away from the general population.
As with life in general, gangs are a part of prison life. Obviously it is best to avoid becoming a part of this environment as it will only lead to trouble. When you first enter prison, you might find yourself being 'primed' to join a gang, or worse, you might get their attention in a negative way. The best thing to do is keep your head down and don't get involved.

Types of Jobs at Hamilton County Jail
The Deputy Sheriff is the second in command at the Hamilton County Jail, overseeing the day to day operations and administration of the jail. An inmate is unlikely to have much interaction with the Deputy Sheriff, unless they have committed an infraction. Detention Officers are responsible for the custody and care of the inmates. They maintain order in the jail, and handle security. A Detention Officer is assigned to a certain pod, and therefore is responsible for the same inmates each day. They get to know the inmates on a certain level and are well equipped to handle any problems that may occur.

An audience of about 300 distinguished representatives from various sectors of the transportation industry was present to see them recognized. Academy Superintendent, Rear Admiral James A. Helis, Ph.D. said, "We are very proud of the accomplishments of this outstanding group of midshipmen. It is a great honor to be recognized at an event as prestigious as the Connie Awards."
The event which was hosted by the Containerization & Intermodal Institute (CII), which for nearly 50 years, has promoted education in the international trade and transportation industry. The Connie Award was established in 1972 to recognize individuals who have made extraordinary contributions to the evolution of containerized shipping and intermodal transportation. The 2013 Connie Award went to H. Winchester "Win" Thurber III, chairman and CEO of Norton Lilly International.
As part of the Connie Awards event, CII and its partner firms also present scholarships to students committed to making a career in the field. The scholarships were presented by CII Board of Directors members Captain Jon Helmick, USMS; Steven Blust, former chairman of the Federal Maritime Commission and Kings Point graduate; and Anne Kappel, CII Treasurer. Captain Helmick has coordinated scholarships for CII and its partners at the Academy since 1996.
CII's Richard A. Simpson scholarship was awarded to First Classman Midshipman Kevin Berto, who is majoring in Logistics and Intermodal Transportation and serves as Regimental Commander. Mr. Berto is interested in maritime security and the possibility of a commission in the U.S. Coast Guard.
This year's Institute of International Container Lessors (IICL) scholarship was awarded to Midshipman Ashleigh Phillips, Class of 2014. Ms. Phillips is a Logistics and Intermodal Transportation major and plans to pursue a career in the logistics and maritime fields while sailing on her Deck Officer License.
Two midshipmen received awards from Crowley Maritime Corporation. Midshipman Christopher Anthony, a First Classman majoring in Marine Operations and Technology, who sailed with Crowley during his sea year and plans to work in the break-bulk and tanker industries upon graduation. Midshipman Thomas Treat, Class of 2014, also received a Crowley scholarship. Mr. Treat is majoring in Marine Engineering Systems with a concentration in Nuclear Engineering. While sailing aboard Crowley vessels during his sea year, he developed in interest in the oil field and he has decided to pursue a career working in the Offshore Industry.

America's military provides something so unique to its servicemembers and their families: an instant community. This community supports one another during deployments, births, birthdays, etc. The military community becomes family.
What happens when servicemembers retire or separate? The community moves on and often the veteran and his/her family members can feel lost as they try and assimilate into the new civilian world they are a part of. Veterans and their family members do not have to feel this way. There are many Veteran Service Organizations, networking groups, sports and recreation groups, and activities and advocacy throughout the Commonwealth embracing the needs of veterans and their family members. To connect with these groups and get involved with your community click here.

Entering Writers Contests
One way many new authors get discovered is through writing contests. Writer's Digest has several every year as well as writing organizations, magazines, online writing sites and publishing companies. This is a good way to be discovered, get an agent and writing contract.
I know some writers that make part of their income submitting stories to contests. If you are good you can make quite a bit doing this.
Where do you find writing contests?
The Internet is a great source of contest lists. In the old days we had to rely on writing magazines, word of mouth or writing organizations, but now all you have to do is put in a search for "writers contest" or "writing competition" and you are on your way to finding all sorts of places to enter your story or poem.
Check writing websites, magazines and writer's clubs. Upcoming conferences usually have a list of contests you can enter but you may have to pay for the conference and entry fees so make sure you understand all the details. The advantage of a conference over some other venues is that sometimes part of the grand prize is a meeting with an agent or editor.
How much do they pay?
This varies from contest to contest. Some don't pay anything and you simply get your name and sometimes your story in their publication, some pay $20 on up to a book contract with a major publishing company.
Why would you want to enter if you don't get paid?
You can add this to your list of accomplishments or writing resume. It might not sound like a big deal but winning a contest means you were chosen the best over many other writers. That's a pretty big deal even if you don't get compensation.
Entry fees-
Most have an entry fee. This is how conferences and some organizations make money to pay the winners so take this into consideration.
Make sure it's a reputable organization.
There are crooks in every part of the world and you want to make sure you don't hand over an entry fee only to discover they've taken the money and disappeared.
Can I enter my story in more than one contest at a time?
This depends greatly on the writing competition's rules. Read the fine print. Some magazine contests own the rights to your work if you win and will print it in their magazine. It's usually only magazines that do this and pretty common. They pay you for the story so it's no different than freelance work.
If it's a short story and they won't keep the rights to your work afterward, you should be able to re-enter it in another competition.
If you don't win you certainly can reenter it in other competitions. Sometimes judges will leave editing marks giving you suggestions for making your piece better. Even if they don't be sure and rewrite it; there is a reason it didn't win, try to find out why before reusing it elsewhere.
As most poets will tell you, poetry writing doesn't pay well. Contests are one of the best ways to get paid for your work. Sometimes they'll own the rights afterward and will put it in a compilation book or magazine so read the fine print if you don't want someone else owning your work. Some will pay you a percentage of the sell of the book so just make sure you understand all the details before signing the dotted line.
If they buy it that's still good; you are getting paid for your writing which is your goal.
Some authors have become famous from contests.
Many authors got their start by entering a contest. It's another way to get your foot in the door of a publishing house.
How do you get started?
You can do it one of three ways.
1) You can read the rules and regulations then write a story or poem accordingly.
2) You can write what you know and edit your work to the rules; such as word count or other stipulations.
3) You can write what you want and find a contest that fits your specific genre or story.
Writing contests are not about luck.
Unlike other contests you may have entered, this one is based on your talent and skills as a writer. They don't draw a name out of a hat; you have to be good or you aren't chosen.
Earlier this year I entered a contest on someone's blog and won. The prize wasn't money, in fact it was an author's signed book. For me, it felt like an Oscar. I've entered a few others and not won but my one little win still feels good. I'll continue to enter, I think I'm hooked. And, I think the contests are pretty good motivators for writing. Good hub. Voted up. Thanks.
Thank you for posting this hub. It is very helpful in understanding how to get your work out there. I voted up and informative
I used to do work on a website for a library. And every year I would put up information about their annual writing contest. This particular library took entries from anyone, not just people in the library's district, there was no entry fee but there were monetary prizes. So, libraries might be another place to look for writing contests.
All great and useful information,will be very helpful to anyone looking to do this !
Vote up and useful !!!
Sounds interesting. I've entered one so far, and amazingly, I won first place and $300!
Do you know of any reputable contests? Maybe you could list a few.
This is an informative hub that I need to add to my list. Thanks! I would love to try a writing contest.
What a fantastic hub Pamela, lots of great information that I will no doubt use! Rated up and bookmarked! Thanks for sharing this.
Pam thanks for the information on writing contests, I have been wondering how that all worked. By the way the video isn't working.
Make it a great day, Mike.
I've entered some poetry contest,but they want you to either pay an entry fee(scam) or buy the book after getting picked for final voting(scam).;)
Very interesting hub. Thanks for sharing.
Great advice and a good bit of inspiration. Thanks.
Love, love, love this! It's so timely, too, as I'm currently waiting to hear back about two separate literary competitions with Glimmer Train.
Chances? Slim to nil. But as you said, it's a great way to get your name out there!
Pam....very interesting hub and something to consider for sure. Thanks for sharing and very informative.

Video tools could be your next weapon in extending your nonprofit's reach
This is the second of a two-part series. Also see:
• 5 nonprofits using Instagram video to promote campaigns
Guest post by Teddy Hunt
Nonprofits traditionally have had trouble attracting today's youths because many causes have a hard time reaching young people on their own terms. Tailoring your nonprofit's marketing strategy to the interests of youths could mean the difference between getting them involved in your cause for years to come — or not at all.
As social media continues to proliferate, nonprofits should incorporate these tools in ways that introduce young people to your cause or organization in genuine ways. Find the right tools to reach this untapped resource.
Appealing to shorter attention spans
Young people are sometimes desensitized by being told things over and over. Think about this when marketing your cause: There are many good causes to work or volunteer for, so what makes yours special? Catching the attention of the young means reaching them visually, starting with Instagram or Vine. Continue reading
