Have you ever heard someone say something that made sense at the time but when you looked back and thought about what they had actually said to you, it made no sense whatsoever? People use phrases and terms that others often understand with no trouble. The interesting part is when those phrases or terms have nothing to do with what you were talking about. For example, the phrase “chomping at the bit” means to be impatient. But instead of just saying impatient, we make a reference to a horse that is chewing or biting its bit because it doesn’t want to wait to get moving. These types of coined phrases, colloquialisms, idioms, etc are used all the time and many of us never question how they came to be a regular part of our everyday language. Leave it to your trusty neighborhood Snippetz to find out the origins of these interesting variations of speech!

IDIOMS: “Break the ice” – this phrase means to relax a tense or formal atmosphere or social situation. But why that particular phrase?

Well, the ice refers to the metaphorical ice on a river or lake in early spring. By breaking the ice, boats would be allowed to pass, thus commencing the season’s activity after the cold winter months. The expression has been linked to the start of something (like a conversation) for about 400 years and was used in general speech by at least 1823.

• Idiom – an expression that isn’t meant to be taken literally. For example: “it’s raining cats and dogs” does not literally mean that cats and dogs are falling from the sky.

• Colloquialism – a word or phrase that is not formal or literary and often used in ordinary or familiar conversation. For example: “I wasn’t born yesterday” does mean that you literally were not born the day before the current one but usually the speaker uses it to mean “you can’t fool me.”

“Let the cat out of the bag” – the current meaning of this phrase is to disclose a secret. But why? One theory suggests that merchants selling piglets in bags at the market would substitute cats to trick the buyer. Piglets were obviously more valuable and getting money for one’s piglets without actually selling them was a pretty smart scam. But if the buyer decided to open the bag to make sure they were getting what they thought they had purchased and out came a cat, that particular scheme was disclosed. Therefore, letting the cat out of the bag would uncover the secret that the buyer was being tricked.

• Mixed metaphor – a figure of speech that describes something by asserting that it is the same as another unrelated thing. A mixed metaphor is a combination of images that do not work well together. Take the title of this article, for example. Records and cats have nothing to do with each other and therefore make up a mixed metaphor.

• Neologism – a newly invented word or phrase, sometimes from mixing or combining words. For example: Mixing “smoke” and “fog” gives you “smog.” Or mixing “Brad Pitt” and “Angelina Jolie” gives you “Brangelina.”

NEOLOGISMS: “Close, but no cigar” – this phrase means whatever expected outcome someone had hoped for was almost achieved but that their efforts were not rewarded. While there is no definitive proof of the specific origin of this phrase, theories indicate that it dates back to when fairground stalls in the U.S. gave out cigars as prizes.

The phrase is thought to date from the mid1900s and the first recorded usage in print is from the script of the 1935 film version of Annie Oakley.

“To a T” – this phrase means exactly, properly or precisely. The phrase is said to be a derivative of the phrase “to a tittle.” What’s a tittle? Well, it’s a small stroke or point in writing or printing. Basically, whatever is being done “to a tittle” is being done to the smallest, most precise point. The “to a tittle” phrase was used by 1607 and possibly earlier. The “to a T” phrase was first used in 1693.

“Southpaw” – this slang term refers to a left-handed person, often a baseball pitcher or boxer. One theory of the term’s origin is based on the times when baseball diamonds

With the pitcher facing home plate, his right hand would be on the north side of his body and his left hand would be on the south side. So if he pitched with his left hand, he would technically be pitching with his “south paw.”

SIMILIES: “As mad as a hatter” – if you’ve seen or read “Alice in Wonderland,” you know all about the Mad Hatter. But why was he mad? He wasn’t angry mad, but insane mad. The reason can be traced back before Alice’s fall down the rabbit hole and to real live hat makers, who used mercury in the manufacturing of felt hats. Such high levels of exposure could lead to mercury poisoning, the side effects of which included insanity. One of the earliest references dates back to 1817.

“As happy as a clam” – the meaning of this phrase is simply to be happy. What’s with the clam, though? Are clams happy? The theory is that this phrase is a shortened version of the longer phrase “Happy as a clam at high water.” Predators would be much less likely to notice clams during high tide than when the tide is out, so it’s assumed clams would be happier then.

The phrase originated in the United States in the early 1800s. The earliest written account was from a frontier memoir called “The Harpe’s Head – A Legend of Kentucky, 1833.”

COLLOQUIALISMS:

– this phrase does not actually mean you have found several ways to skin a cat. It just means that there is more than one way to achieve a specific outcome. The earliest example of this phrase used in print is from a short story called “The Money Diggers,” written in 1840.

“Graveyard shift” – this phrase means a shift worked overnight. While you might assume it has to do with working in a graveyard, it simply means a shift that takes place in the middle of the night. Things are typically quiet, somewhat lonely, as you could imagine a graveyard to be. The earliest known usage of this term in print was from a U.S. newspaper, The Salt Lake Tribune from June 1897.

ardening in the fall is my favorite time to garden, aside from the spring of course! But there is something so satisfying about preparing the gardens for next year. I love to clean up my perennial beds and cover them with a fresh layer of mulch; it’s like tucking them in for the winter. For a short time everything is perfectly clean, quiet and beautiful, that’s the obsessive compulsive Virgo in me talking! But then they are fully prepared for a long and hopefully snowy winter. I like how there is no rush unlike the exciting but very busy hustle of the spring. Of course the garden center and landscape company leave me very little time in the spring for my own gardens, so now is really when anything gets done!

 As far as our lawns go those of us who have Tall Fescue, Bluegrass or Ryegrass can really benefit from a fall fertilization. Fertilizing with a winterizer in early October promotes healthy deep root systems. Spring fertilizing alone can encourage too much top growth and a shallow root system which decreases its resistance to drought.

(719) 375-1812 790 Hwy. 105, Palmer Lake CO 80133

 In our gardens however it’s time to stop fertilizing so we don’t encourage new growth that can get nipped in a freeze. Instead it’s good to remove any weeds and cut back anything that has flopped or looks bad. If it looks good I just leave it for the spring clean-up. It gives me something to look at and gives your roots more protection over the winter. Don’t forget to add a fresh layer of mulch to all of your garden

 Give your garden a makeover.

Try to take note in the summer of anything you’d like to move or divide and give your garden a mini makeover now since it’s cool and we’re finally getting some moisture.

Then it’s all done to enjoy in the spring.  Fall is a great time to plant trees, shrubs and perennials. It’s cooler and they can spend the fall, winter and spring establishing roots. So in the summer they can handle our hot summer days and put their energy into growing and flowering!  I would say my favorite gardening to do in the fall is plant springflowering bulbs! I like to plant Narcissus, Chionodoxa, and Allium because they don’t turn into expensive deer food later on!

Be sure to apply a phosphorous fertilizer at planting.  While we are giving our vegetable gardens a good cleaning, after they quit producing of course, there is still garlic to be planted. It’s recommended to wait to plant until the first week of October for big bulbs the following year.  Nature plants its seed in the fall when freezing nighttime temperatures are consistent, so the seed won’t germinate until spring.

It is a great time to overseed bare patches in your lawn or plant wildflower mixes.  For a burst of color; Mums, Pansies and Rudbeckia are readily available and often come back the following year.

The last thing on our to-do list is simply enjoy! This weather is incredible and I feel so lucky to live in such a beautiful place!

Enjoy everyone!

n the next few weeks we are going to focus on the individually owned boutiques in the Tri-Lakes Community.

In the upcoming weeks I will spotlight each of them and their unique sense of personal style. We’re getting into some chilly weather here and there are a couple of great boutiques that carry exceptional quality and handpicked style. This week we’ll investigate Peak Ranch’s Alpaca Boutique.

Peak Ranch Boutique is destination for shopping and fun. They are a family owned and operated alpaca ranch and boutique that has been bringing the alpaca lifestyle to the Tri-Lakes area since 2003.

The alpacas graze and grow their lovely fleece which is sheared annually in June.

Peak Ranch’s boutique has professional shearers from New Zealand come to the ranch. The herd’s fleeces are milled in Colorado and then sold in the boutique. They carry a variety of natural colors of dyed baby alpaca. If you missed the shearing, don’t worry. Peak Ranch holds many fun family events throughout the year and the alpacas are available to see and pet every Saturday from 10AM to 4PM. The alpaca garments are carefully selected by the owner Rene. She looks for quality, baby fine alpaca garments that are classic to modern in style. Both Rene and her husband Dennis have traveled to Peru in efforts to meet alpaca clothing designers and manufacturers. Their personal style and knowledge is reflected in the attention they give to every detail of each garment.

They carry an array of women’s clothing, men’s jackets, baby hats and booties, blankets, throws, and scarfs. Each item is truly unique and is not mass produced.

(IN STOCK ITEMS ONLY)

*During the sale & while supplies last!

September 28th is National Alpaca Farm Day. Join them for a special day of music, food and fun on the ranch. Bring your chairs and blankets. There will also be special sales at the boutique!

October 19th is Pumpkin Patch in the alpaca pastures! Bring your kids to select large pumpkins interspersed on the ranch.

REPLACING HEART VALVE WITHOUT SURGERY DEAR DR. DONOHUE: My 88-yearold father has congestive heart failure and aortic stenosis. His cardiologist suggested transcatheter aortic valve replacement as an alternative to openheart surgery. I’ve read overwhelmingly positive reports about this minimally invasive technique.

I feel very strongly that doing this not only would prolong my father’s life but also would greatly improve its quality.

I would appreciate any help you could give me to alleviate my father’s apprehensions. He is very leery about having any surgical procedure. -- J.W. ANSWER: At 88, your dad probably has health considerations other than his narrowed aortic valve and congestive heart failure. Even if he does, the procedure of replacing his aortic valve without the standard surgical operation places little stress on him and gives him the chance to lead a more active and longer life.

A narrowed aortic valve, aortic stenosis, makes it difficult for the heart to pump blood out into the body. The

surgical procedure for replacing that valve involves cutting the breastbone (sternum) so the surgeon can view the heart directly. The transcatheter intervention is done without any incision. A pliable tube, the catheter, is advanced from a surface artery and threaded into the heart. The valve replacement is attached to the catheter. When the surgeon has arrived at the site for installation, it’s accomplished directly with the catheter. This procedure is a godsend for elderly people who might not be able to withstand the rigors of the standard operation.

When people with aortic stenosis develop symptoms, their life span is greatly reduced. If congestive heart failure results from this valve problem, a patient, on average, has only one and a half to two years of life left. And those years are not pleasant. The affected person becomes extremely short of breath even on slight exertion. Valve replacement eliminates the death threat and the breathlessness.

Heat, stretching exercises, Tylenol and the many nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (Aleve, Advil, Motrin, etc.) can make life livable for those with DISH. *** Dr. Donohue regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible.

ANSWER: DISH is something that happens in middle and older ages. It’s calcification and bone formation in the ligaments of the back. Bone spurs are part of the picture. Any part of the spine can be affected, from neck to lower back. For many, it causes no symptoms but accidentally is discovered on an Xray. For others, it’s a source of pain and stiffness.

Today we both attend churches in the same denomination, have stayed married to our first wives, always get our hair cut about the same way, vote the same way, have similar opinions on many matters, sound alike when talking on the phone, and even play the piano in a similar manner (not very well).

NO ONE EXPERIENCES THINGS LIKE YOU DO!

By Dr. Ron Ross

All those external similarities, however, mask some very significant differences. He likes the hard sciences such as math and physics but I prefer softer subjects like philosophy and theology.

As a young man he joined the Navy to fly jets while I went to Africa to preach the gospel. For most of his life he has worked within a corporation, I have always worked for myself.

If we were raised in the same environment why are we so different from one another? After all, we saw the same things, heard the same messages from our parents, attended the same schools, and experienced life in the same culture.

“My gosh you guys are twins!” declared a young lady who entered a retail store as my brother and I walked out.

To be honest, I had never thought my brother was that good looking, but who was I to argue with the absolutely unsolicited and unbiased opinion of a rather lovely young lady?

It’s true we do look a bit alike and there are many areas where we think alike as well. After all, we have similar DNA, grew up in the same home, slept in the same bedroom growing up, were raised by the same parents, attended the same schools, and even

You too are the only person who experiences life the way you do. You sort out each thing that happens to you in your very own way. Every person you meet, every event you attend, every book you read, every sermon you hear, every mistake you make, every challenge you face, every victory you win, every failure you endure, every love you feel, every path you walk is completely and uniquely your own.

You are something special because of the exclusive way you see your world!

It’s what makes you - you! It’s what makes you special!

MOMENTS IN TIME THE HISTORY CHANNEL

• On Sept. 27, 1540, in Rome, the Society of Jesus -- a Roman Catholic missionary organization -- receives its charter from Pope Paul III. The first Jesuits took vows of poverty and chastity, and made plans for the conversion of millions to Catholicism. • On Sept. 23, 1875, Billy the Kid, born William Henry McCarty, is arrested for the first time after stealing a basket of laundry.

He broke out of jail and roamed the American West, eventually earning a reputation as an outlaw and murderer, with a rap sheet that allegedly included 21 murders. • On Sept. 29, 1907, Gene Autry, perhaps the greatest “singing cowboyâ€? of all time, is born in Tioga, Texas. While Autry was no cowboy, he was a genuine Westerner who had lived on a ranch. His lasting fame came from films and his first movie, “In Old Santa Fe,â€? eventually was followed by nearly 100 other films. • On Sept. 28, 1918, a Liberty Loan parade in Philadelphia prompts a huge outbreak of the flu epidemic in the city. By the

time the epidemic ended, an estimated 30 million people were dead worldwide. The most likely origin of the 1918 flu pandemic was a bird or farm animal in the American Midwest. • On Sept. 26, 1928, work begins at Chicago’s new Galvin Manufacturing Corp. In 1930, Galvin would introduce the Motorola radio, the first mass-produced commercial car radio. (The name had two parts: “motorâ€? evoked cars and motion, while “olaâ€? derived from “Victrolaâ€? record players.) • On Sept. 25, 1965, the Kansas City Athletics ageless wonder Satchel Paige started a game against the Boston Red Sox. The 59-year-old Paige, a Negro League legend, proved his greatness by giving up only one hit in his three innings of play. He was the oldest pitcher ever to play a game in the major leagues.

TWO-PASSENGER RIDE

By Nick Yanez

W

e’ve all encountered the everdreadful backseat driver before.

It’s common for people to butt heads so characteristic at a young age. After all, 16-year old drivers have a lot to learn; if there’s an adult in the back seat, they are usually more than willing to play the part of driving instructor. That’s all fine. The young kids need to learn. However, back seat driver syndrome is often a life-long disease. It never ends. No matter who is driving, or how well they are performing, back seat captains tend to criticize even the best drivers. It would almost be easier to just ride shotgun and actually give them a steering wheel back there. Then they could control the stroll, while you enjoy front row seats to A/C and your favorite radio programs.

Turns out, someone pitched that exact idea to a custom car shop in Dubai and they said something to the effect of – that’s a great idea!

That’s right folks, a new vehicle has hit the foreign market that actually allows a back seat driver; literally. The mid-sized SUV appears to be like most vehicles of its kind.

There are two front seats and nothing about the exterior that looks strange or unique. It just looks like an average Joe’s vehicle. Until one looks inside, that is. The back row of the SUV, which would normally seat up to three passengers, has a single driver’s seat.

The steering console is designed down the middle of the vehicle, between the two front seats. From the rear, a driver can operate the speed and steering of the vehicle.

In no way can anyone in either of the two front seats gain control.

The idea seems solid. It was designed for

a chauffeur to drive. The front two seats are equipped with the best views, heating, cooling, and entertainment. There’s even two small television monitors that act as computer in front of each seat. With the exception of limousines and cars that Bruce Wayne would own, it’s a dream ride for anyone who has recently hired their own personal driver. As for the driver? Not so much a dream come true.

A video made by the manufacturer, hoping to prove how logical the design was, shows the viewer that visibility is clearly an issue. The driver (and creator) of the exclusive SUV was slow to maneuver. It seems the idea of giving passengers the best view of the road has some disadvantages. Who would’ve thought?

In fairness, the vehicle does offer some unique and wise concepts. For example, why do we put the driver on the left or right of a vehicle? Doesn’t the center make more sense? There, the captain of the vehicle has equal distance from each side of the road, as well as more visibility to all of his mirrors and windows. The front seat luxury thing is also pretty cool. Now two people can call “shotgun” instead of one!

Then again, this vehicle makes little sense for families with young children. It also has two less passenger seats than an average vehicle of the same size. Maybe more storage room is a good selling point for it?

Regardless of what people may think about the one-of-a-kind mid-sized automobile, it’s out there, on the road, as you read this article. It has sparked controversy, but not enough to make it illegal. The designer did a fantastic job of making every feature up to code and professional. At best, supporters claim the vehicle will be a great new luxury for adults to purchase. At worst, doubters say the potential for accidents, injuries, and death should overcome the cool concept of this car. My best guess is that reality rests somewhere in the middle.

In other words, the so-called free time quickly vanished under the requests of others.

“Oh, you’re retiring? Would you please watch the kids during the day to save me the babysitting costs?”

No, no, no ... at least until you get a handle on your free time once you’ve retired. Give it at least a couple of months.

THE BUZZ ABOUT HONEY

H

oney is a complex ingredient, and its harvesting is an ancient artisanal craft that is both an art and science. From beehive to supermarket and finally reaching the table, the harvesting of honey is a compelling story.

Honeybees gather nectar from flowering plants, and beekeepers collect honey from the hives. It is next shipped off to a honey packer, who warms the honey and removes any foreign material or residue from the beehive, including whatever pollens might have been introduced during the extraction process.

With more than 300 varieties of honey found in the United States, it ranges greatly in flavor and appearance. “The bees simply collect nectar, add a few enzymes and store it in the honeycomb. But all of the color, the flavor, the aroma, the antioxidants, whatever constituents are in the honey, comes from the particular flower from which the nectar was collected,� said 40-year-veteran beekeeper Gene Brandi.

Honey has been in the news recently, with topics ranging from its source to its authenticity. In a 2013 Attitude and Usage study, the National Honey Board learned that when purchasing honey, 48 percent of consumers prefer for honey to be brilliantly clear and golden. Consumers also were increasingly likely to prefer honey that has pollen grains filtered out. This is one of several myths that need clarification, according to the NHB.

13

The fact is, whether there is pollen in honey or not, it’s still honey. “There has been some confusion about honey and honey filtration,� said Bruce Boynton, CEO of the National Honey Board. “The term ‘ultrafiltration’ has been misused in association with traditional filtration methods commonly used by many U.S. honey packers, leading some consumers to believe that any honey without pollen is not real honey. The truth is that honey is made by honey bees from the nectar of flowers and plants, not pollen.�

Honey is a unique ingredient that helps home cooks and professional chefs create countless recipes in the kitchen. This beloved ingredient also provides an all-natural energy boost, and acts as a natural cough suppressant and an effective skin moisturizer, nourishing the body inside and out. These simple recipes for Bees in the Garden Honey Glaze and Honey and Almond Shortbread beautifully showcase the floral flavors of honey.

Try them and see what all the buzz is about!

BEES IN THE GARDEN HONEY GLAZE Use this sauce with fresh or cooked vegetables, mix it into baked or mashed sweet potatoes, drizzle on cooked squash or use as a glaze for carrots, or sauteed celery or cucumbers.

1/4 cup honey 1/4 cup butter 2 tablespoons minced onion 1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme, crushed 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon black pepper 1. In a saucepan, combine all the ingredients and bring the mixture to a boil. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.

2. After use, pour any remaining honey sauce into an airtight container Continued on Page 15

• It was noted wit Ambrose Bierce who made the following sage observation: “All are lunatics, but he who can analyze his delusion is called a philosopher.”

• When the famous “Hollywood” sign was constructed in 1923, it read “Hollywoodland.” It was an advertisement for a new housing development and was expected to be in place only about a year and a half. The sign became such a recognizable symbol of the new film industry in Los Angeles that it has been refurbished and rebuilt as necessary for 90 years.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) The changing season brings new experiences as well as challenges for the ever-adventurous Aries. Your social life expands, as do the opportunities at your workplace.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) That recent period of uncertainty has passed. You can now feel more confident about making decisions, especially those that relate to an important personal relationship.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Although you might be faced with a number of tasks on your to-do list, try to take time out to enjoy the arts. Music, especially, can be soothing to the sensitive soul of a Gemini.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A disagreement with a colleague or friend is best resolved with open and frank discussion. Trying to force the other party to see things your way is bound to backfire.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Someone in authority might decide to select you as a candidate for a project that carries more responsibilities.

Be prepared to show why you’re the right choice for the job.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) That new workplace problem should be dealt with as soon as possible. Leaving it unresolved for too long could lead to an even more unsettling and timeconsuming situation.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) You might have to do some fancy juggling to keep both your work responsibilities and personal obligations on track. But ultimately, you’ll work it all out, as you always do.

age to the Ames Pyramid. At the end of a 2-mile dirt road, in the middle of featureless pastureland, you’ll find this 60foot-tall monument seemingly plunked down at random. The pyramid was built in 1882 near a line of the Union Pacific railroad and in honor of the railroad’s financiers. It was thought that the monument would be a welcome distraction to railroad passengers traveling through the plains of Wyoming. The decline of railroad travel, however, caused many tracks to be removed, including the line that ran by the pyramid. Now only cows are left to admire this relic of the industrial age.

Demand proof before making any decisions on the matter.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Don’t risk depleting those precious energy levels by taking on more tasks than you can realistically handle.

Also, remember to ask for help when you need it.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) It might be difficult for the Aquarian who is used to giving advice to take counsel when offered. But it’s a good idea to listen to what trusted friends feel you should know.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Things might be a little unsettled as you move through a period of reassessment. But once you get your priorities sorted out, you should be ready to tackle an important decision.

he good news for parents of young college students is that, thanks to the Credit Card Accountability, Responsibility and Disclosure Act of 2009, anyone under age 21 applying for a credit card has to have a co-signer or show they are able independently to pay the debt.

According to The National Foundation for Credit Counseling, establishing credit while in college can go one of two ways: It can be helpful in life after college ... or, if the credit has been abused, the young graduate will have problems getting apartment leases, buying a vehicle or even trying to find a job.

The NFCC has created a list of helpful tips for college students (or anyone just starting with credit):

• Protect the card. Be aware of where you keep it and who’s around when you’re making a purchase. Identity theft is big business.

• Never let others use your card, even friends you trust. They might not be as cautious as you, and you’re responsible for the purchase made.

A hint for beginners: Wrap the new credit card in a piece of paper where each purchase is written down. Little purchases easily can be forgotten until the bill comes at the end of the month, but they add up.

Seeing them written down is a reminder of how much will be due. Another method is to deduct the amount charged from the checking account register to make sure that money will be available at the end of the month.

For those who want free and confidential financial advice, contact NFCC online at www.nfcc.org or call them at (800) 3882227.

• Start slowly. Don’t apply for more credit than is needed.

THE LAW ACCORDING TO STEVENS

BOY, IS IT EASY TO EVICT TENANTS IN COLORADO © August, 2013 by Lisa Welch Stevens, Attorney at Law P.C.

D

uring the past few weeks I have discussed rights tenants have under Colorado law. However as I noted those rights are rather limited, on a state-wide basis. It is true that certain municipalities – for example the usual suspects, Denver and Boulder included – do provide tenants with more rights than they have under state law. This is definitely not true of El Paso County, however.

The good news for landlords is: compared to most states, it is relatively easy to evict tenants in Colorado for breaches of their lease agreement, particularly non-payment of rent. A tenant who stays in possession of rental premises after missing a scheduled rent payment or otherwise breaching the lease agreement, and continues to do so after the landlord has given him 3 days written “Notice To Quit” those premises, is guilty of an “unlawful detainer”, which is a violation of Colorado law.

At this point the landlord can file an “FED” complaint with the county court of the county in which the rental premises are located. “FED” stands for “forcible entry and [unlawful] detainer”, and is a fairly accelerated process (compared to ordinary county court civil litigation) by which a landlord can get a court order requiring the tenant to return possession of the rental premises to the landlord and pay damages as well. When the complaint is filed with the Court a “civil return date” is set, before which time and date the tenant must either give up possession, or file an answer to the complaint with the Court.

Usually, that return date is only 10-14 days after the date the complaint was filed with the Court, and the date is set at the time of filing by the landlord, before

the tenant has even been served. It is true that the tenant must be served at least 5 business days before the return date, and not more than 10 days after he is served with the summons and complaint.

However, if the landlord can’t get the tenant served personally, he can simply post a copy of the summons and the complaint on or at the rental premises so long as he also mails a copy to the tenant at that address.

At the time of the “civil return” if the tenant has not filed and answer and does not “appear” a default judgment can be entered against him. If the tenant does show up and has filed an answer the court clerk sets the case for a trial. The trial usually takes place within only 5 days of the civil return date. There is no discovery process. If the landlord wins, the Court issues a Writ of Restitution ordering the tenant to turn over possession of the premises, and may also order the tenant to pay damages, such as unpaid rent, etc.

The landlord can either use “self-help”, and evict the tenant himself, or – and more advisedly – arrange with the Civil Unit of the Sheriff’s Department of the County to assist with the eviction. The Writ of Restitution orders the Sheriff’s Department to do so if requested.

From start (default by tenant) to finish (issuance of writ) the entire process may take as few as 3 weeks to accomplish. And if the default was an actual non-payment of rent, the result is almost always in the landlord’s favor.

A particular lease can and may provide a tenant with additional time or rights, but such leases are few and far between. It cannot provide less time or fewer rights.

However, if by chance the tenant wins at trial, he can collect from the landlord his attorney’s fees and costs for defending against the eviction.
