There were 766 accidents including 67 deaths across the state in 2017. Florida boaters also racked up $8.5 million in property damage in 2017. The counties with the most mishaps also typically had among the most boat- ers, and were located on the coast in southern Florida with the longest boat- ing seasons. In order in 2017, those were Monroe, Miami-Dade, Broward, Pinel- las, Lee, Palm Beach, Okaloosa, Col- lier, Hillsborough and Duval. In 2016, Charlotte made the top 10, but avoided the list in 2017. There were 52 more accidents in 2017 than in 2016, but the same number of deaths. “We had a higher number of acci- dents, but they were less severe, the injuries weren’t as bad,” said Lt. Seth Wagner, FWC’s assistant boating safety coordinator. “We’re having more acci- dents where people bump and grind for lack of a better (term).” In 79 percent of accidents, no one got hurt. But there were still 437 injuries in 2017. Among the most common were lacerations, contusions, broken bones and head injuries. When you’re operating a boat, like driving a car, keep your eyes on the water, Lt. Wagner said. And life jackets are like seatbelts — anyone getting into a boat should get used to wearing one. Although boaters sometimes have been distracted by their phones, a GPS system or other technology, Lt. Wagner finds that more often the problem is they were talking with other people or got too relaxed about keeping a lookout. “You get in a relaxed state because you’re out recreating, it’s your day off, whatever, and you may not be identify- ing what’s in front of you,” he said. “You may not see that post, that boat, that swimmer. You’re multitasking and not really paying attention to what you’re seeing. You’re not staying diligent, and that’s when something happens.” The report also suggests that young people are wearing life jackets more than middle aged and older boaters. “It’s a cultural thing,” Lt. Wagner said. “The number of people that are falling overboard and sadly losing their lives are in general my age, 35 and up, 40 some-odd range, where we’re not required to have the boater education.” Boat operators born on or after Janu- He also noted that life jackets are ary 1, 1988, are required to hold a Flori- much more comfortable now than when da Boating Safety Education ID Card to many boaters were kids.

BY MARY THURWACHTER mthurwachter@fl oridaweekly.com
From its 205-foot Gothic bell tower stretching out of the highest point on the Florida peninsula to its garden walk and flowering shrubs, Bok Tower Gardens is a glorious place to relax and get away from city noise and stress. The National Historic Landmark in Central Florida’s rolling hills makes a good day trip — and is a perfect place to take visiting relatives and friends. That’s what I did early this year, when my brother, sister and sister-in-law came down from Wisconsin. We all enjoyed the gorgeous gardens, walking the nature trails, listening to the Singing Tower caril- lon and having lunch alfresco in the Blue Palmetto Café. My sister-in-law, a florist, knew almost all the names of the flowers. But even those of us who did not (me) were in luck because each type of flower blooming the day we visited was on a display and identified outside the welcome center — bromeliads, gardenias, azaleas, camillas, firecracker plant, water willow, Cracker rose, or Louis Philippe, and summer snap- dragons among the mix. Bok Tower Gardens was founded by Edward W. Bok, an immigrant from the Netherlands, in 1929. Mr. Bok was only 6 when he arrived in the U.S. He became a MARY THURWACHTER / FLORIDA WEEKLY publisher, Pulitzer Prize-winning author, The 205-foot neo-Gothic and Art Deco Singing Tower rises above Lake Wales, in Central Florida. humanitarian and an advocate of the envi- ronment and for world peace. His grandmother told him to “make the world a bit better or more beautiful because you have lived in it.” And he paid attention to what his grandmother said. His family lived in Pennsylvania, but wintered near Lake Wales, which is where Mr. Bok became enchanted with the beau- ty and magnificent views from Iron Moun- tain, which stands 298 feet above sea level. He loved watching the sunset from the top of the mountain. In awe of what he saw, Mr. Bok wanted to create a place that would “touch the soul with its beauty and quiet.” To that end, he bought the hilltop land and transformed it into lush gardens with a Singing Tower housing a 60-bell carillon. It was, Mr. Bok said, his token of appreciation for all the opportunities he had been given. Famous landscape architect Frederick L. Olmsted was commissioned to turn the The Great Brass Door, which depicts the Book Above: A sign quotes Bok Tower founder arid sandhill into what Mr. Bok predicted of Genesis, beginning with the creation of Edward Bok: “Give the world the best you would be “a spot of beauty second to none light and ending with Adam and Eve being have and the best will come back to you.” in the country.” booted from the Garden of Eden.
