Unfortunately, drowning accidents are far too frequent, and the number one cause is unsupervised water activity. In 2020, over 50 people drowned in avoidable accidents in our county. 


It only takes a minute for the unthinkable to occur, so please take some time to review the following information.  


  • Ensure everyone in your family learns to swim 
  • Swim in areas supervised by lifeguards
  • Always swim with a buddy
  • Children should never be unattended near water
  • Secure pools with barriers. Many children who drowned in home pools were out of sight for less than five minutes.

The county's Drowning Prevention Coalition provides free and reduced-cost swimming lessons for children ages 2-12 (on a first-come, first-served basis) and water safety seminars for all ages. For more information, call 561-616-7068.

Additionally, the Red Cross offers free online and in-person programs such as CPR and First Aid training and certification.

Every year over three million individuals fall victim to scams resulting in over $3 billion in losses. Internet scams are a growing problem, especially since many people are very trusting and susceptible to fraudulent activities.  


One of the most popular internet scams is phishing. A scammer uses fraudulent emails (containing malware), texts, or copycat websites to get personal information such as bank accounts and social security numbers.


Other popular scams are computer “pop-ups” claiming you have won a sweepstake or lottery, counterfeit prescription drugs advertisements or fake charity donations. 


To avoid becoming a victim:

  • Use long, unique passwords and always enable multi-factor authentication whenever possible.
  • Continually update security features on computers, devices and apps by enabling automatic updating. Attackers look for vulnerabilities in software.


Do not trust cybersecurity information from unknown social media accounts on Facebook, Instagram, Linkedin or Twitter

The gardens at Morikami

The Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens, with its unique gardens and collections, is one of Palm Beach County’s most treasured cultural attractions.


Be transported to Japan through art exhibits, an authentic tea house, cultural festivals and an incredible .8-mile walk through Japanese-inspired gardens.


The gardens have 25 stops where visitors can see waterfalls, koi fish and other wildlife and an extensive bonsai collection. You’ll feel drawn to sit and admire the precise plantings and quietude.


Additionally, The Morikami Collections house more than 7,000 Japanese art objects and artifacts, including a 500-piece collection of tea ceremony items and more than 200 textile pieces and fine art acquisitions.

Palm Beach County's shoreline offers many activities and is considered a top destination for snorkelers and divers for its exquisite artificial reefs. 


Over the years, the county has deployed over 45 vessels, 110,000 tons of concrete and 140,000 tons of limestone boulders to create artificial reefs that mimic natural reef systems. 


These artificial habitats provide food, shelter, protection and spawning areas for hundreds of fish species and other marine organisms. They also provide relief for the natural reefs which have shown a decline in marine life due to user pressure, hurricanes and coastal development.

March is Florida Bicycle Month, a designation that helps to promote bicycling as a healthy commuting alternative for our county residents. Bicycle Month coincides with efforts by local leaders to reverse the rise of bicyclist and pedestrian fatalities.


As chair of the Palm Beach Transportation Planning Agency, I have focused attention on the increase in pedestrian fatalities. The TPA has embraced "Vision-Zero" seeking to reduce fatalities on our roads to zero. Let's work together to share the roads!


Below are some safety tips for bicyclists and cars.

  • Wear protective gear like a fitted helmet and shoes with a good grip.
  • Check your bicycle for any malfunctions before riding.
  • Wear clothing with bright colors during the day and lights at night.
  • Be aware of dangerous road conditions.
  • Obey all traffic laws.
  • Yield to traffic when appropriate.
  • Signal your intent and be predictable.
  • Stay aware, and actively look for cyclists.
  • Know that cyclists have the same rights on the roads as you do.
  • Be patient around cyclists even if they are moving slower than traffic.
  • Do not pass a cyclist until you are sure that your passing lane is clear.
  • Look for cyclists when turning and at intersections.
  • Give cyclists plenty of space, and never tailgate a bicycle rider.
  • Watch for cyclists before you open your door.

The first schoolhouse in Southeast Florida was built in 1886 about a mile north of today's Flagler Memorial Bridge in Palm Beach.


The first teacher, Hattie Louise Gale, was just 16 years old when she took on her first class of 12 students, aged 6 to 17.


In 1960, the restored 22-by-44-foot building was relocated to Phipps Ocean Park and given the name Little Red Schoolhouse.
