City Approves New Community Venue Project
At the March 14th City Council meeting the Council approved to contribute $30,000 to build a
new 14-acre event venue for non-profit organizations at the Zephyrhills Municipal Airport the
venue, located at 5040 Airport Rd. was inspired by the Greater Zephyrhills Chamber of
Commerce Pigz in Z’hills BBQ & Blues event. It will feature a 20-by-40 stage and 48 spaces
equipped with water and electric as well as space for free-standing vendors, business expos
and children’s activities. A coalition of non-profits led by the GZCOC attended the council
meeting to show support for the new venture. Melonie Monson, new executive director at the Zephyrhills chamber presented
the plan to the councilman supported by representatives of the Rotary Club of Zephyrhills, Thomas Promise Foundation, Ride
For Hospice and Paulie Palooza. Monson told the council that each of the organizations had an event they would like to hold
there and there were other events waiting in the wings such as a rebirth of the Zephyrhills Celtic Festival and a potential
Balloon Fest. On-profit organizations who wish to use the venue will pay a fee to cover the cost of maintenance which will be
performed by the city. Events would be limited to daytime festivals in order to
prevent stage noise in the residential area behind the venue although the
stage would be designed to direct music toward ZMA. A local business has
agreed to build the stage, other donations are welcome. Those interested in
contributing toward the project may contact the office at (813) 782-1913.

Garden Has Great Growth Opportunities
ZEPHYRHILLS, FL (March 22, 2016) David Force, a staff representative at Florida Hospital Zephyrhills (FHZ), fills the garden boxes that he and
other colleagues made on Wednesday, March 16, as the hospital’s two-acre community garden had its soft opening. Phase one of the garden is located behind the hospital on Dairy Road. Force spearheads the Community Garden
Committee along with a handful of other employees. He came up with the idea several years ago and a gazebo, garden shed and small greenhouse have already been built. “There’s been great support from the FHZ Volunteer Auxiliary, local contractors and vendors,” Force said. FHZ is the only hospital in the area that has a community garden and the only Adventist Hospital in the nation to start one other than in Castle Rock, Colorado. Future plans include a conference center and aquaponics. Anyone can rent a 4’ x 4’ or 4’ x 8’ garden bed for $75 a year and FHZ provides the soil at no charge. Raised beds are also available for those who have mobility limitations. For information and rental inquiries, call (813) 779-6470 or email [email protected]

Pasco County residents urged to clean their community in the
Great American Cleanup of Pasco County ~The Great American Cleanup is a national tradition~
PASCO COUNTY, FL ---- Pasco County is taking part in the annual Great American
Cleanup and is encouraging citizens to participate. The 2016 event will be held throughout
the County on Saturday, April 16th from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m.
Every year, residents of Pasco County join a national tradition of shared community re-
sponsibility by picking up litter. On a local level, this event is spearheaded by Keep Pasco
Beautiful, a local affiliate of the national, nonprofit organization Keep America Beautiful. In
Pasco County, thousands of pounds of trash will be picked up from parks and roads.
Pasco County has been a part of the Great American Cleanup since 1992. In 2015 ap-
proximately 500 volunteers picked up 17.21 tons of trash during the Great American
Cleanup.
Teams in several areas are registered to take part in the 2016 Great American Cleanup,
including: Dade City, Holiday, Hudson, Lacoochee, Port Richey, and Crystal Springs. This
is a great opportunity for high school students to earn com-
munity service hours. “Litter will only attract more litter,” said
Kristen King, Keep Pasco Beautiful Coordinator. “As a com-
munity we have the power to change the amount litter in our
community.”
Citizens who would like to participate in the Great American
Cleanup can do so by calling (727) 856-7252 or emailing

Dade City, FL – Sunrise Domestic & Sexual Violence Center was honored with the “Be More Encouraged” Judge’s Choice Award at the WEDU Be More Awards on February 4, 2016. The event, which recognizes the work of nonprofits across West Central Florida, took place at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg and had over 500 people in attendance.

The YCAT is a group of high school students from east and central Pasco County who are committed to preventing violence in their communities. Before the ceremony, Sunrise rep-resentatives participated in the Hall of Heroes expo to share more information about the important work the YCAT is doing, including the Summer Youth Leadership Institute to be held on June 27, 2016-Jul 1, 2016 at Saint Leo University. For more information about the YCAT or the Summer Youth Leadership Institute, please visit www.knowyourpeace.org. Sunrise of Pasco is a dual-certified domestic violence
and sexual assault center serving Pasco County.
Services include shelter, counseling, a 24-hour hotline,
safety planning, legal advocacy, community education,
and prevention education. All services are provided free
of charge.

PASCO SHERIFF’S OFFICE NEWSLETTER
April 2016
Parents and guardians should be aware of the three leading causes of preventable child deaths. Last year,
the Department of Children and Families joined with community partners to launch “Warning Signs,” a
three-year public awareness campaign to educate and encourage the community to take action to save our
children from the leading preventable causes of child deaths.
The top causes include:
Suffocation – More infants die in adult beds than anywhere else. Kids belong in kid beds. Infants
sleeping in adult beds account for nearly 74 percent of deaths in babies under 4 months. To prevent
infant deaths from suffocation, parents should put the baby’s crib next to the parents’ bed for the
first 6 months of life. Keep the crib safe with tight-fitting sheets and a firm mattress. In addition,
keep the crib free of blankets, pillows, stuffed animals, etc. Place the infant on its back when putting
him or her down to sleep.
Drowning – Drowning kills more kids ages 1-4 than any other cause. Small kids can drown as fast as
20 seconds in such diverse objects as a bucket, bathtub, toilet, and a pool.
Formal swimming lessons for kids age 4 and under cut drowning risk by 88 percent. Two-thirds of
small kids who drowned in a pool were last seen in the house. Eliminate distractions for those
watching kids near water – no texting, phone calls, reading, or video games. Learn CPR – it saves
lives.
Inflicted head trauma – Shaking infants – even once – can kill or injure them for life. Half of kids
who suffer severe head trauma before age 5 die before their 21st birthday. Crying is most often the
reason people shake, squeeze or throw small babies. Parents themselves most often cause the injury
or death, but other people not prepared or equipped to handle a crying baby are also the cause.
Crying is normal. It’s how babies communicate. Check a crying baby for hunger, a dirty diaper, their
temperature, and other causes that can make them uncomfortable. Offer people who watch infants a
support system to relieve their stress.
For more information about how to keep our smallest loved ones safe, visit the website
www.PreventNeedlessDeaths.com.
Another Successful Election for Pasco
My staff and I are proud to have delivered another successful election for Pasco County on March 15, 2016, the Presidential Preference Primary (PPP). We had a strong voter turnout with a total of 103,575 votes cast in Pasco County, comprised of 28,759 vote-by-mail ballots, 17,305 early votes, and 57,511 votes on Election Day. Other noteworthy Election Day stats are that all 112 polling locations were open promptly at 7:00 a.m., the Call Center fielded over 2,800 phone calls from poll workers and the public, and 111 of 112 precincts had modemed their results to the Election Support Center by 7:35 p.m., just 35 minutes after the polls closed.
As we put the finishing touches on the PPP, we are simultaneously preparing for the upcoming Municipal Elections on April 12, 2016, in the cities of Dade City, New Port Richey, Port Richey, and Zephyrhills. Sample ballots for the Municipal Elections are available on our website at http://www.pascovotes.com/Elections/Sample-Ballots. In order to be eligible to vote in the Municipal Elections you must reside in one of the precincts within the official city limits. That information is available on our website at http://www.pascovotes.com/Precincts-Districts/Precinct-List-by-District.
Elections don't just happen. It takes the work of many within a transparent and secure environment to accomplish the many details such as testing and staging equipment, qualifying candidates, designing ballots, securing polling places, delivering and retrieving voting equipment, voter registration data entry, public education, poll worker training, logistics, and assessments, to the minutest details of ensuring there are enough pens in the polling places and addressing individual voters' concerns. In addition to my dedicated staff, it takes engagement from the community to fill the 1,000+ volunteer positions necessary on Election Day. Without their help, elections would not be possible, and I extend my heartfelt thanks to all who gave their time and service on March 15, 2016, to once again make Pasco County proud!
