In 2006, Tom Killian developed a JTCA Art

Committee to acquire an art creation for Jun-

gle Terrace. The City’s Art Director facilitat-

ed at two JTCA meetings. We did a “Call for

Artists” locally, regionally, and nationally.

The Committee and Membership continued to

refine the applications, ultimately choosing

“ENTWINED” by local sculptor Robbie

Robins.

The location was to be on 22nd Ave. North by

Azalea Middle School. In 2007, our Art Grant

Application with the City was NOT awarded.

In 2009, led by Dr. Ed, JTCA applied again. Due to

politics, it was not awarded a 2nd time, even with

Herb Polson’s help keeping the grant amounts at

$25,000 after total dollars were cut by 60%.

By 2011, sidewalks around Jungle Lake were com-

plete and a new location for “ENTWINED” was envi-

sioned by the lake, dog park, and confluence of 3 side-

walks. Thanks to the patience of Sculptor Robbie

Robins and his generous $10,500 in-kind donation,

and the persistence of JTCA, the grant was awarded,

then approved by City Council. Then by the Art

Committee, plus the Gifts to City Committee.

What began in 2006, and re-re-began in August of

2011 is now complete in March of 2013 – the Crown-

ing Jewel in the “Crown Jewel” of city parks. Thank

you Robbie Robins, thank you City of St. Pete, and

Thank You to all JTCA Volunteers who participated

and persevered in creating this wonderful addition to

WFP and Jungle Terrace.

sand for the final leveling. Park Staff trimmed

the big oak tree and moved the sprinkler.

A worthy endeavor and creation of art. City and

Right of Way on 26th Ave by Soccer.

St. Pete Baseball Commission’s Pete Samsoe posted four “NO Parking in Park” signs at

Meeting Minutes 1/21/2013

By: Sharon and Pete Brown

The meeting was held at the Walter Fuller Recrea-tion Center and was called to order and began with the Pledge of Allegiance, led by Dr. Ed Carlson.

Officer John Phifer reported on an auto theft and burglary at the mall, three residential burglaries and two robberies. He reminded residents to not leave keys in cars and continue to be aware of their surroundings.

Elections of the 2013 officers was held, with Dr. Carlson remaining JTCA President, John Sweeny, VP, Treasurer, Jill Silverstein, Sharon and Pete Brown, joint Secretaries, Bob Miller, Newsletter and Linda Mouriski, Tech/Data. JTCA Board of Directors Susan Buckley, Eileen Dardis, Roland Martens, Yaro Markewycz and Richard Mere-dith.

Mac Tennant, from Access Reverse Mortgages, was the evening’s speaker. He explained several ways that reverse mortgages could benefit people who are at least 62 years of age or older. Though reverse mortgages have, at times, gotten some neg-ative press, Mr. Tennant was able to clear up and correct the misinformation as he answered ques-tions and left follow up information for meeting

attendees.

The concrete base of the sculpture, “Entwined”, has been installed and Dr. Carlson expects that the actual sculpture will be in place sometime in March.

Susan Buckley spoke about the JTCA annual East-er Egg hunt. It will be held on Saturday, March 30th

at 9:30am for children “tots” through nine years old. Susan has asked for volunteers to help with the event. Eileen Dardis will get a permit and as-sist with arrangements.

JTCA has installed two more gardens near the baseball complex. Roland Martens discussed “Adopt a Mile” on the Pinellas Trail. Dr. Carlson felt that the Boy Scouts might help out. The ques-tion posed was, does JTCA want to commit to this project?

The city is getting more assertive in dealing with Snipe Signs that continue to pop up through the JTCA area.

Dr. Carlson presented the current status of the proposed bike path through Walter Fuller Park. Though the city and the association are still ex-changing ideas, the current city plans are still un-acceptable to the association. JTCA members at the meeting felt that even having a path that took up additional permeable green space, was unnec-essary and not in line with the parks long term ap-proved plan.

There was no old or new business. The meeting was adjourned at 8:15 pm. +++

Hello Neighbor,

Spring began with the Vernal Equinox on March 20th

. Equinox,

derived from Latin, means equal day and night. Many of us

are still striving to adjust to the time change!

In the Housing Market, all things are not equal.

Money magazine’s April 2013 edition boasts, “Housing is

Back!” What does this mean? For Buyers, “For the first time in

more than half a decade, the economics of the market are

working against you… inventory is tight… bidding wars are

back… to snag your dream home you’’ have to pay up and

contend with strict loan requirements.” For Sellers, “You have

finally gained the upper hand. To the get your best price,

though, you need to finesse your timing, list competitively,

and match your market to local conditions. “

Housing is Back in Pinellas County. February 2013 closed sales

in Pinellas County report a 17.9% increase year-over-year,

while active inventories for the same time period are down

14.2%. Jungle Terrace results less impressive: closed sales

have decreased by 41.6% (5 closed sales February 2013 v. 12

closed sales in February 2013) while the active inventories

year-over-year remained the same (20 active listings).

How can Juggle Terrace adjust to the change? Spring is in the

air. For every home I list, a very specific marketing plan is de-

veloped which will help you sell your home faster while get-

ting the most for you largest investment. For every Buyer I

work with, you will receive immediate notice of every listing

that meets your wish list and you have my commitment to

work diligently to get you a signed contract. Together, let’s

make Housing is Back the mantra in Jungle Terrace.

When you call, I answer!

Bonnie
