Certificate sale bids improve


BARTOW, Fla. The Polk
County Tax Collector's Office
continues to see positive out-
comes for taxpayers in the inter-
net-based property tax certificate
sale, held earlier this month.
Lower interest rates for taxpay-
ers and more efficient uses of
Tax Collector resources are just
a few of the benefits from the
sale.
Tax certificate interest rates
this year dropped to a weighted
total average of 3.26% and the
entire process, which tradition-
ally spanned two weeks and
countless staff hours, was con-
ducted online and concluded in
just two days. As a result of the
increased participation, tax cer-
tificate interest rates were driven
down to their lowest rate since
the tax collector's office first


"The online tax certificate sale continues to gener-
ate great results. The number of delinquent dol-
lars is increasing each year. We have put a process
in place that provides the most efficient method
for both generating more revenue for government
entities while reducing interest rates that delin-
quent taxpayers have to pay."
Joe G. Tedder,
Tax Collector


began using the online process
three years ago.
This year's sale attracted over
4100 actual bidders, a 75% in-
crease over last year's participa-
tion with 18.7 million bids, up
from the 11.7 a year ago. The


total value of the certificates in-
creased from $13.9 million to
$24.1 million this year, indicative
of the increase .in property val-
ues throughout the county.
"The online tax certificate
sale continues to generate great


results," stated Joe G. Tedder,
Tax Collector. "The number of
delinquent dollars is increasing
each year. We have put a pro-
cess in place that provides the
most efficient method for both
generating more revenue for
government entities while reduc-
ing interest rates that delinquent
taxpayers have to pay."
This is the third year that Polk
County has conducted the sale
entirely on the Internet. Ven-
dors such as Realauction, the
online service provider that Polk
has used for the past two sales,
have been so successful with tax
certificates that they are now ex-
panding their expertise into tax
deed applications. Parcels that
received no bids will be struck
off to the county. This year, that
receivable is $453,928.


Other background
information:
Online tax certificate sales al-
low bidders to participate via an
eBay type process in a two day
auction as opposed to the tradi-
tional 10 day live process. The
main online sale benefits are in-
crease number of bidders, lower
interest rates for delinquent tax-
payers and reduced administra-
tive overhead.
Tax certificate investors gen-
erally expect delinquent property
owners to pay their delinquent
back taxes plus interest. If pay-
ment is not made after two years,
the tax certificate holder can force
the property to be put up for auc-
tion through a tax deed process.
The life of a tax certificate is sev-
en years. After that, the certificate
becomes null and void.

Wildfire threat


remains concern


TALLAHASSEE Florida
Agriculture and Consumer Ser-
vices Commissioner Charles H.
Bronson asked that Floridians
be very careful with all outdoor
fires as they enjoy summer.
"Our Division of Forestry is
again responding to 20 to 40
new wildfires each day," Bron-
son said. "Many of these are
caused by people who have
been careless with a campfire,
bonfire or outdoor cooking
fire."
During May, which is usu-
ally an active wildfire month,
846 Florida wildfires burned
139,328 acres. The number
and severity of wildfires then
dropped following the passage
of Tropical Depression Barry,
but an eagerly anticipated sum-
mer rainy season failed to mate-
rialize over most of the state.
"We have not yet entered
into a summer pattern of wide-


ly dispersed, regular afternoon
thundershowers," Bronsonsaid.
"The rainfall we have received
has been beneficial, but most
of the state continues to experi-
ence drought conditions."
The statewide average for
the Keetch-Byram Drought In-
dex (KBDI) is 465, which signi-
fies a continued threat of wild-
fires. Thirty-six of Florida's 67
counties have a KBDI reading
above 500. Even with the scat-
tered rainfall, areas of the state
have not recovered from previ-
ous rainfall deficits and con-
tinue to remain in drought-like
conditions.
Wildfires can occur through-
out the year in Florida, but the
most active part of the wildfire
season is usually from Janu-
ary through May. Florida aver-
ages about 5,000 wildfires each
year that burn approximately

Lake Okeechobee hits


new record low level


WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. A
persistent pattern of far below
average rainfall over the Lake
Okeechobee basin has resulted
in yet another record low for
the 730-square-mile lake, which
serves as a primary backup water
supply to 5 million South Florid-
ians. According to water man-
agers at the South Florida Water
Management District (SFWMD),
Lake Okeechobee reached a new
all-time record low of 8.83 feet
above sea level Monday.
On average, Lake Okeechobee
and the District as a whole receive
about eight inches of rain during
the month of June; in June 2007,
the Lake received less than half
that. Meanwhile, highly localized
rainfall has favored coastal and
southern portions of the District,
where water levels are adequate
and excess rainfall cannot be
captured or stored. Portions of Mi-
ami-Dade and Broward counties,
for example, received more than
12 inches of rain in June, result-
ing in some localized flooding.
By far the largest body of water
in South Florida's water manage-
ment system, Lake Okeechobee
provides as much as 70 percent
of the dry season recharge for the
SFWMD's Lower East Coast Ser-
vice Area, which comprises Mon-
roe, Miami-Dade, Broward; and
eastern Palm Beach counties;
"The irony of the current wa-
ter shortage is that the Lower East
Coast has been experiencing al-
most daily rain, and now the Dis-
trict is working to balance the very
dry conditions and lack of rainfall
over Lake Okeechobee with the
risks of local flooding in coastal
areas," said ChipMerriam, the SF-
WMD's deputy executive director
of water resources. "Unless more
rain falls over the critically dry ar-
eas of Central Florida and water
levels in Lake Okeechobee climb
appreciably over the remainder
of the wet season, it is likely that
residentsin Southeastern Florida
will continue to face water short-
age conditions through early
2008. Our water management
system is intricately connected


and water conditions in one geo-
graphic area may affect those in
another."
The SFWMD and local agen-
cies have worked diligently to
capture and store a substantial
amount of water from recent
rains, helping to boost regional
water levels over the past several
weeks. Southeast Florida's water
conservation areas have enjoyed
water level increases of more
than a foot over the past seven
weeks: water elevations in Wa-
ter Conservation Areas 1, 2 and 3
registered at 15.11, 11.14 and 8.25
feet above sea level respectively
this morning.
Water levels are measured in
NGVD units, or National Geodetic
Vertical Datum units. NGVD is a
nationally established coordinate
system used to determine eleva-
tion, especially in areas close to
sea level.
The South Florida Water Man-
agement District is a regional, gov-
ernmental agency that oversees
the water resources in the south-
ern half of the state 16 counties
from Orlando to the Keys. It is the
oldest and largest of the state's
five water management districts.
The agency mission is to manage
and protect water resources of the
region by balancing and improv-
ing water quality, flood control,
natural systems and water sup-
ply. A key initiative is cleanup and
restoration of the Everglades.

Alzheimer's disease affecting Obituaries


more as U.S. population ages


TAMPA, Fla. New estimates
set the number of adult Floridians
expected to develop Alzheimer's
disease at 1.3 million by 2050 a
threefold increase. At the same
time, the number of Americans
suffering from the disease is ex-
pected to grow to 16 million, ac-
cording to figures released this
week at the Alzheimer's Associa-
tion International conference on
Prevention of Dementia in Wash-
ington D.C.
Dr. Huntington Potter, CEO and
director of scientific research at
the Byrd Alzheimer's Institute also
announced during the conference
that the Tampa-based institute has
just begun human studies into the
effects of caffeine on the disease
and related memory problems.
The Byrd Institute is complet-
ing work on the world's largest
freestanding research center dedi-
cated to Alzheimer's research. The
institute's new home is located on
the campus of the University of
South Florida in Tampa.
The human caffeine tests are
specifically designed to study
how well aging people tolerate
the effects of caffeine and how ef-
fectively it reduces a substance in
their blood that acts as a "marker"
for the presence of Alzheimer's.
Earlier groundbreaking re-
search conducted by the insti-


tute found that the equivalent of
five cups of coffee a day when
administered to mice with the
Alzheimer's gene prevented or re-
duced pathological symptoms of
the disease.
In a paper delivered Tuesday to
the conference, Potter reported to
the gathering of international sci-
entists on the caffeine research, as
well as on the promising effects of
two other substances an anti-
depressant called Rollopram, and
a complex molecule from green
tea known as EGCG and caffeine.
The institute also is conducting
clinical studies for a pharmaceu-
tical company, Neurochem, into
the effectiveness of a drug called
Alzhemed. But the results of the
first round of clinical tests found
"disappointingly big differences"
between data collected at the dif-
ferent testing sites, Potter said.
Meanwhile, among the drugs
creating a stir at the international
conference was one long used as
anti-histamine in Russia.
"I think the data are curious
and provocative," for the Russian
drug, Potter said. "But it's unlikely
the drug. is working through its
anti-histamine characteristics -
but it may. It needs more work."
Overall, said Potter, "this inter-
national conference has shown
the use of biomarkers is going


to be difficult to study and new
drugs assumed to be promising
still need extensive human testing
in a controlled fashion."
Meanwhile, the cost of Al-
zheimer's to the Florida economy
is a staggering $10 billion a year,
noted Potter. And the projected in-
creases in the number of people
suffering from the disease "is a
catastrophe that is going to hap-
pened to all countries as their
populations age."
"Florida," he said, "is at the eye
of that story. "
Dr. Huntington Potter is the
CEO and Scientific Director of the
Johnnie B. Byrd Sr. Alzheimer's
Center & Research Institute and
the Director of the designated Flor-
ida Alzheimer's Disease Research
Center by the National Institutes
of Health. He also holds the Eric
Pfeiffer Endowed Chair for Re-
search on Alzheimer's Disease at
the Suncoast Gerontology Center
and is Professor of Biochemistry
and Molecular Biology at the Uni-
versity of South Florida College
of Medicine and is an appointed
Member of the Alzheimer's Dis-
ease Advisory Committee. Prior
to joining USF in 1998, Dr. Potter
studied, researched and taught for
30 years at Harvard University.

Long hours outdoors increase risk for skin cancer


NEWYORK, N.Y. Sports and
outdoor activities are daily events
for children attending camp. If
children are not properly protect-
ed, the time they spend outdoors
lead to painful sunburns, prema-
ture of aging and skin cancer.
- "Just one blistering sunburn
in childhood can double the risk
of getting melanoma later in life,"
said Perry Robins, MD, President
of The Skin Cancer Foundation.
"That risk can be avoided by fol-


lowing some simple sun safety
guidelines."
To find out if a camp is sun
safe, the Foundation recom-
mends asking the following five
questions:.
Are counselors trained in
sun safety? UV protection should
be a regular part of the training
counselors receive. They should
be well versed about the dangers
of the sun and how to protect
against them.
When are outdoor activities


scheduled? Ideally, most should
be scheduled for early morning
or late afternoon since UV is most
intense from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Does the camp have ad-
equate shade structures? While
large shade trees provide some
protection, a truly sun-safe camp
should have structures such as
pavilions where campers can
seek shade during outdoor activi-
ties.
Are campers directed to
apply sunscreen before going


outside? An SPF 15+ sunscreen
(water-resistant formulas are es-
pecially good) needs to be used
regularly. Campers and staff
should be instructed to bring it
from home, apply it 30 minutes
before outdoor activities, and
reapply every 2 hours and right
after swimming or sweating. The
camp should also have a supply.
Are campers urged to wear
protective clothing? Historically,
campers wore only a T-shirt,
shorts, and perhaps a baseball


cap. We now know that's not
enough. Children should wear
sun-protective clothing including
long pants (or at least shorts),
long-sleeved shirts, UV-protective
sunglasses and a wide-brimmed
hat to protect their face, neck and
ears.
With proper guidance, chil-
dren can learn to protect them-
selves and enjoy summer fun
without sacrificing the health of
their skin. For additional informa-
tion, visit www.skincancer.org or


call 1-800-SKIN-490.
The first organization in the
U.S. that committed itself to edu-
cating the public and medical pro-
fessionals about sun safety, The
Skin Cancer Foundation is still the
only global organization solely
devoted to the prevention, detec-
tion and treatment of skin cancer.
The mission of the Foundation is
to decrease the incidence of skin
cancer through public and profes-
sional education and research.


Wood ducks rebounding through conservation efforts


It might be just another dead,
hollow tree near the water's
edge, but it's prime wood duck
real estate. Leaning to one side,
extending out over the water
of the marsh, this tree not only
houses a brood of wood ducks
(Aix sponsa), but it will also serve
as a launching point for these
ducklings. Once old enough to
leave the.nest, the newly hatched
wood ducks heed the hen's call
and high dive from the open-
ing of the nest before plunging
- safely into the water below. In
the past, trees like have been in
short supply and sometimes still
are. But today, whether they nest
in hollow trees or in man-made
wood duck boxes, there's more
and more wood ducks filling the
skies and the water.


A century ago, change and
expansion continued to sweep
much of North America, and the
wood duck suffered as a result.
Prior to wide-spread logging and
farming operations throughout
the nesting grounds of the wood
duck, these strikingly beautiful
birds had plenty of old trees in
which to make nests. With their
down-lined houses high enough
off the ground to escape preda-
tion and rising water, wood ducks
were plentiful and the object of
affection for sportsmen, artists
and wildlife watchers alike. In the
late 19th and early 20th centuries,
however, the desire to clear-cut
homesteads to make room for
growing crops and selling timber
led to a dirth in old trees for wood
ducks to nest in. As a result, their
numbers dropped dramatically.


Today, populations of wood
ducks throughout North America
are stable and on the increase.
One of the main reasons for the
,successful rebound of the popu-
lations is the success of sports-
men and women in building and
using wood duck boxes. These
boxes, hung high in trees, light
poles, barns and other places,
give these ducks a place to hatch
their young. In many states, agen-
cies are using funds collected
from sportsmen dollars to expand
these programs. Other conserva-
tion groups most founded and
run by sportsmen and women
- also engage in hanging boxes.
The impact has been substantial:
more and more wood ducks are
seen on the water, roaming the
ground under big canopies of oak
trees, eating acorns, which are a


main staple in their diet.
In the eyes of many, there are
few North American game birds
more beautiful than the wood
duck. It has graced duck stamps
many times, is featured in highly
coveted outdoor art while their
feathers are highly sought after by
fly fisherman and outdoor enthu-
siasts. Also known for its wonder
table fare, the male wood duck
is easily identifiable with his iri-
descent green and purple head,
white line extending from the bill
and to his crest and red eyes. And
thanks to sportsmen and women
everywhere, the wood duck has
once again achieve population
levels that allow current genera-
tions to marvel at its beauty.
On Saturday, Sept. 22, 2007,
millions of Americans will cel-


ebrate the success of the wood
turkey and many other species
as part of National Hunting and
Fishing Day activities that will be
going on nationwide. National
Hunting and Fishing Day began
after a presidential proclamation
in 1972 that sets aside the fourth
Saturday of each September for
the event. Since then, national,
regional, state and local organi-
zations have staged thousands of
open house hunting- and fishing-
related events everywhere from
shooting ranges to suburban
frog ponds, providing millions of
Americans with a chance to ex-
perience, understand and appre-
ciate traditional outdoor sports.
The careful wood duck con-
servation efforts of the past have

thrill of hearing the duck call to
its young across the distance, to
view it in its natural habitat and
to restore its population to hunt-
able populations. Conservation
groups, sportsmen and women
and wildlife watchers alike are all
stakeholders in the future of the
wood duck, to ensure that the
wood duck nest in our trees (or
boxes) and swims in our marshes
and ponds long enough for future
generations to see.
National Hunting and Fish-
ing Day, formalized by Congress
in 1971, was created by the Na-

successes of hunters and anglers.
National Hunting and Fishing Day
is observed on the fourth Satur-
