Pasco County Clerk
& Comptroller’s
Office
by Paula S. O’Neil, Ph.D.
Pasco County Clerk & Comptroller
Generous Jurors Support
Local Nonprofits
In 2014, 290 jurors graciously donated a total of $4,890 to
local nonprofits through the Voluntary Jury Service Compensation Donation Program. The Office of Paula S. O’Neil started the
program on May 5, 2014, to allow jurors to voluntarily donate their
jury service fees to one of three Pasco County designated charities:
Salvation Army Domestic Violence Program of West Pasco, Pasco
County Guardian ad Litem, or Sunrise of Pasco, Inc. The Clerk &
Comptroller’s Office commends the generosity of the citizens
who participated. Below is an update on how the nearly $5,000
in donations has made an impact in Pasco County.
Pasco County Guardian ad Litem
The Florida Guardian ad Litem Program is a partnership of
community advocates and professional staff providing a powerful
voice on behalf of Florida’s abused and neglected children. The
program reports that the donations from Voluntary Jury Service
Compensation Donation Program and other sources have led to
a number of the following enhancements:
• Increased the representation of children by 13 percent
• Trained 318 new child advocates
• Created a Normalcy Fund to provide financial support for children
in the dependency system to participate in normal childhood
activities and help bond with their Guardian ad Litem volunteers
Sunrise of Pasco, Inc. (Sunrise)
Sunrise is a full-service domestic violence and sexual assault
center providing a safe place for victims to heal and to plan their
future. The nonprofit recently expanded its shelter from a 24 bed
facility to a 40 bed facility. The extra support from the Voluntary
Jury Service Compensation Donation Program has funded services
such as:
• Prescriptions for participants who were ill
• Relocation assistance, in cases when it was determined that it
was not safe for participants to stay
• Food for those residing in the 40-bed emergency shelter
• Filing fees for those needing identifications cards, birth certificate
copies, etc.
Salvation Army Domestic Violence Program of West
Pasco (Salvation Army)
The mission of the Salvation Army is to provide cost free,
comprehensive services to victims of abuse and domestic violence
and to educate others about domestic violence to promote prevention. In 2014, the Salvation Army utilized funds donated from
the Voluntary Jury Service Compensation Donation Program and
other sources to provide:
• Safe refuge for 196 adults and 156 children who experienced
the crime of domestic violence
• 8,506 shelter nights
• 25,518 meals
• Services to 1,002 Outreach Clients
Individuals and their children enter the shelter feeling lost and
frightened. They have left everything behind to be safe. Without
the generous donations made by jurors and other donors, many
needs may go unmet.

Giving back is always in the forefront of
the minds of Pasco Sheriff’s Office members.
Each year our deputies and civilians partake
in activities around the county meant to help as many people
here as possible.
On Feb. 20, we’ll host our Shotgun Shootout at Tampa Bay
Sporting Clays & Archery, 10514 Ehren Cutoff in Land O’ Lakes.
The event, which starts at 9 a.m. with an 8 a.m. registration, will
benefit the Pasco Sheriff’s Office K-9 Association, which brings
awareness and support to the unit, and Explorers Post #916. Our
Explorers Program allows young people between the ages of 14
and 21 to explore a career in law enforcement by receiving training in all aspects of the profession.
Sporting clays, one of the fastest growing sports in the country,
consists of using a shotgun to fire at clay targets from a number
of shooting stations located on a rural course. The clay targets
are catapulted into the air by hidden machines throughout the
course. The flight of the clay target is unpredictable, testing the
shooter’s marksmanship.
Shotguns will be available for rent and vision and hearing
protection is required, which will be made available. Only 12-, 20-,
and 28-gauge shotguns in safe working order will be permitted.
Registration is $150 for individual shooters, which includes ammunition, 2015 Shootout hat, and luncheon; or $600 for a group
of four, which includes ammunition, cart, 2015 Shootout hat, gift
bag and luncheon.
There are a number of ways to participate in the shootout as
a sponsor also:
• $2,000 - Sheriff’s Club – One 4-shooter team; ammo; cart; premiere gift bag; “special” sponsor’s prize drawing; recognition at
luncheon; station recognition, shootout hat.
• $1,000 – Platinum -- One 4-shooter team; ammo; cart; gift bag;
sponsor’s prize drawing; recognition at luncheon; station recognition, shootout hat.
• $100 – Shooting Station – A sponsorship sign with your name
will be placed at one of the shooting stations.
For information on how to register, visit www.pascosheriffcharities.com and click on the “shootout” tab. You can also
call Lt. Warren Jones at (813) 235-6031 or Julie Frazier at (813)
235-6003.
Pasco Sheriff’s Charities have raised more than $300,000, which
has gone to The Angelus, Explorers Post 916, Pasco Boys and Girls
Clubs, PACE Center for Girls, San Soldiers of America, Pasco Police
Athletic League and YMCA.
We look forward to seeing you!
Wanted:
Engaged Parents
by Kurt S. Browning, Superintendent of Pasco
County Public Schools
Parent engagement builds an important partnership between
schools and families. Our children’s success and development
depend on that productive partnership that begins before
kindergarten and continues through high school graduation.
Please understand that you are your child’s first teacher. As their
teacher, seek opportunities to provide your child with everyday
instruction.
Since many children begin school below grade level, according
to state standards, it is never too early to get involved. You can
support your child at home by:
• Reading multiple books on the same topic.
• Talking with your child about the text or words being read.
• Listening to him/her read nightly.
• Providing opportunities for your child to write.
• Using everyday objects to allow your child to count and group
collections of objects.
• Encouraging your child to construct numbers in multiple ways.
For example, what are some ways that you can make 10? Answers
might include 5+5, 6+4, 8+2, etc. Have your child explain his or
her thinking.
• Creating story problems to represent addition and subtraction
of small numbers.
• Encouraging your child to stick with it whenever a problem
seems difficult.
These are just a few snapshots of the many strategies you can
begin with your child to enhance their academic development.
As your student progresses through school, continue building
upon these strategies.
I want to encourage all parents to actively work with their
students’ teachers, coaches, and administrators to make sure we
all are meeting their needs. Also, make it a point to talk to your
student so you know if he or she is getting everything possible
out of the school experience and if they need you to take a more
hands-on role.
If you know parents who aren’t active in their child’s education,
please make an effort to get them involved. Education entails so
much more than it used to, and schools, the school district, and
most importantly – your children – need all of us to work as a
team in order for them to succeed.

Brian E. Corley
Supervisor of Elections Pasco County
800-851-8754
With the onset of the 2015 legislative session and as chair of the
Florida State Association of Supervisors of Elections (FSASE) Legislative Committee, one of the legislative priorities my committee and
I are strongly advocating is the implementation of an on-line voter
registration application process. On-line voter registration application
offers accessibility and convenience for voters, and the association
feels it is the appropriate time for Florida to join 20 other states which
have moved forward by embracing available technology.
The convenience of an online voter registration system will have
indirect cost-saving benefits such as a reduction in data entry errors
and the resultant increase in the accuracy of the voter registration rolls.
Voters with current address information would potentially save the
Division of Elections and respective Supervisors of Elections millions
of dollars by reducing the need to conduct costly, state mandated
mailings which notify voters and encourage them to update their
information.
Unlike the current on-line voter registration application which
requires the form to be printed, signed and mailed, the updated
version uses an existing signature that is already on file through the
In Support of Online Voter
Registration Applications
Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DHSMV) and/or
Tax Collector. For this reason and to insure integrity of the system,
an on-line registration application process would not be an option
for first-time registrants who have not satisfied the requirement of
presenting themselves before casting a ballot.
In another important step to improving the integrity of the
voter registration rolls, the association is advocating participation
in an interstate program which cross-checks voter registration rolls
among state agencies. Enter ERIC, an acronym for Electronic Registration Information Center, a non-profit consortium endorsed by the
Presidential Commission on Election Administration, which utilizes
official information including voter registration rolls, motor vehicle
records, and postal addresses to identify voters who are registered in
more than one state, have relocated or changed names. By crosschecking Social Security death records, invalid registrations of deceased
individuals are identified resulting in more accurate voter rolls.
With the passage of the necessary legislation, a coordinated
effort between the Florida Department of State, DHSMV and the
Supervisors of Elections would be necessary to ensure congruity
of the system. Also, Help America Vote Act (HAVA) funds could be
utilized to defray implementation costs.
