Catherine Clemens, a landscape architect with a background in art, came up with a cool design for an outdoor fountain. Water, and light, would sprout from a red glass bowl set near one end of a long boulder.

Poetry readings, high school bands, a clarinetist on a canoe and a short procession will inaugurate a restored stone waterfall in Phalen Regional Park.
"It's been off for a long time," said Bryan Murphy, a landscape architect with St. Paul Parks and Recreation, who believes the stone structure hasn't cascaded water since the 1960s.
The Ramsey-Washington Metro Watershed District will host its annual WaterFest celebration on Saturday to coincide with the dedication of the 1950s-era waterfall.
St. Paul Parks and Recreation secured $296,000 from the state Legacy program to improve the water system. Measuring roughly 15 feet in height, the original waterfall drew well water that cascaded over the stones and into Lake Phalen, which was receding in the 1950s.
"It isn't receding now, and it hasn't been for quite a while," Murphy said. The new system draws water directly from Lake Phalen, which travels through ornamental grates along a pedestrian and bicycle trail and over the limestone slabs just above lake level.
"It looks exactly as it did in the 1950s," said Murphy, who believes the water flow is comparable. "It's a really nice cascade -- it's even, and it's a really nice sound. It brings a lot of life to that area."
The ceremony begins at 11 a.m. with performances by Farnsworth Aerospace Magnet School, St. Peter's Catholic School and Harding High Earth Club on the bridge north of the park pavilion. A procession to the waterfall will begin at 11:25 a.m., followed by a formal dedication 10 minutes later.
Clarinetist Don Rose will arrive by canoe and perform "Turning on of Waterfall." The waterfall is located in the northwest corner of the lake, near a boat ramp.
Launched in the year 2000, the watershed district's WaterFest celebration runs from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and features fishing, archery, boat rides, Hmong dancers, food trucks and additional events. More information is online at http://www.rwmwd.org.

Phalen waterfall gets new life with rededication
With a little help from their friends, District lighting designer Cheryl Flota and architect Rick Lincicome got by the challenges of building a home next to a Chesapeake Bay tributary. The one-level, cedar-clad home in the tiny town of Rock Hall, Md., is raised on concrete piers to allow water to flow under the structure, should the nearby Grays Inn Creek overflow its banks.
We wanted to be as close to the water as possible, says Lincicome. But in this area, you have to be very careful where you put the house.
The married couple had built a modest weekend house in Rock Hall during the mid-1990s. Seeking larger living quarters, they bought 15 acres in 2010 with the idea of tearing down the flood-damaged dwelling on the property and building a larger, contemporary house for retirement.
To help them design the Rock Hall homes, as well as their apartment in the Watergate condominium, the two tapped their friends Jane Treacy and Phillip Eagleburger, District architects who specialize in residential design.
Rick did the schematics on both houses, but he didnt have the time to develop the designs, says Flota. Jane and Phil are fun to work with and challenge our thinking. They took us to places wed never go on our own.
Lincicome, 63, who was busy overseeing international building projects at the time, has since retired. Flota, 58, is still engaged in her lighting design business. Her past work includes illuminating the Smithsonians Hope diamond exhibit and canopies over Metrorail stations.
The pairs first house in Rock Hall, a shingled, two-bedroom cottage, set the design direction for the newer house in its arrangement of elevated, L-shaped wings. That structure, completed in 1995, cost $177,000 to build, according to the homeowners. Construction of the new waterfront house, which is twice the size of the previous home, ran about $1 million, not including design fees.
Our experience with the first house made us realize that we needed someone on board who understood the entitlement issues involved in building on the Chesapeake Bay, says Lincicome.
So he and Flota hired landscape architect Miles Barnard of South Fork Studio in Chestertown, Md., to help site the house and ensure that its location conformed to a state law that designated the bays Critical Area the 1,000-foot buffer around the Maryland shore of the bay and its tidal tributaries.
When building a house in this environmentally sensitive area, says Barnard, you have to look at the planning and zoning office as part of the design team. He and Lincicome met with Kent County officials over nearly a year, as we hit certain design milestones along the way, says Barnard, before submitting the plans in 2011 for a building permit.

From SOHO Reports
Save Our Heritage Organisation, San Diego Countys historic preservation group, will salute the winners of its 32nd annual People in Preservation (PIP) Awards, 6 p.m. Friday, June 6 at the Sunset Temple event center in North Park.La Jolla is the beneficiary of the ongoing labors of four PIP winners selected by the 2014 jury comprised of landscape architect Amy Hoffman, preservation architect Paul Johnson, and historian and researcher Sarai Johnson.
Patricia Dahlberg of La Jolla Historical Society will receive a Lifetime Achievement Award
Patricia Dahlberg will receive SOHOs Lifetime Achievement Award for 50 years of visionary leadership and tireless service as president of the La Jolla Historical Society.
The La Jolla Historical Society itself will be recognized as Preservationist of the Year, for its expanded role as a preservation advocate (action Dahlberg initiated) and for contributing to the restoration and return to public use of two historic buildings, Wisteria Cottage and the William Black House, aka UC San Diegos chancellors house.
La Jolla Light reporter Pat Sherman, as well as the Light newspaper, will receive SOHOs Town Crier award for ongoing coverage of historic buildings at risk, such as the La Jolla Post Office, and for bringing preservation issues and debates to the front page.
James Rega fastidiously restored one of the internationally revered, but long-threatened cottages at El Pueblo Ribera in La Jolla. Designed by the great modernist Rudolph Schindler, this compound of interconnected cottages and patios has suffered over the years for several reasons, including the mistaken use of beach sand in the original concrete mix, house fires and remodeling to enclose original rooftop sleeping porches.
