It was a single tree a fairly average-size cedar elm that in any other Central Texas landscape wouldnt have seemed remarkable.

But leafless, painted white, seemingly hovering over the middle of Lady Bird Lake and accompanied by 14,000 prayer flags that lined the nearby lakeshore path, that tree became arguably the most-seen work of art in Austin in 2013.

A project sponsored and funded entirely by the nonprofit arts organization Women & Their Work, Thirst was a collaboration between artist Beili Liu, architects Emily Little and Norma Yancey and landscape architect Cassie Bergstrom. Conceived as a symbol of the more than 300 million Texas trees lost to the recent drought, Thirst withstood two floods and drew enormous attention and chatter, with images of it ricocheting around social media.

And in combination with other progressive public arts projects that debuted last year, Thirst also suggested a turning point for art in Austins public realm. In the past year, significant public art projects have been launched at the University of Texas, in East Austin and at the Contemporary-Laguna Gloria.

I think Austin is beginning to get to the point where perhaps we realize we dont have to resort to the standard conventions of public art, says Doug Dempster, dean of UTs College of Fine Arts. Perhaps were beyond the bronze age of considering heroic bronze statues as the only kind of public art.

Just a couple of weeks after Thirst debuted in late September, James Turrells The Color Inside opened on the University of Texas campus. The curvilinear chamber on top of the Student Activity Center is one of Turrells skyspaces, a roofless structure designed to capture a view of the sky.

The structures aperture is surrounded by computer-controlled LED lights that illuminate the walls with changing color during an hourlong program every sunset and sunrise and radically yet subtly alter a persons view of the heavens.

A pioneer in the use of light as an artistic medium, Turrell is one of the most important living American artists today, and the October opening of The Color Inside a $2.1 million project by UTs public art program, Landmarks garnered national attention. And the buzz continues.

Demand to view The Color Inside has been so strong, in fact, that UT officials have had to extend the reservation system to see the piece even though original plans had been to dispense with reservations a month after the piece premiered. (Viewing The Color Inside is free, and the work is available for viewing any time the Student Activity Center is open. Reservations to see a sunset light sequence are needed and can be made online at turrell.utexas.edu.)

Meanwhile, during the wildly popular East Austin Studio Tour in November, the citys Art in Public Places program launched Tempo, the citys first temporary public art initiative.

Bernalillos southern entry point from Interstate 25 is about to get a makeover that will replace mounds of earth with natural landscaping.

Town officials awarded a contract to Lee Landscapes on Dec. 23 to redo the corners of Avenida Bernalillo from the I-25 interchange to South Hill Road.

The intersection was reshaped a few years ago as part of a larger project to widen the freeway between the town and Albuquerque. That work left what Mayor Jack Torres calls an ugly berm.

Designed by landscape architect firm Morrow, Reardon, Wilkinson, Miller, the makeover will take advantage of the natural contours of the remnants of arroyos, using traditional building materials and native plants, said Maria Rinaldi, director of community planning and development.

It will include planting dozens of native trees and shrubs, spreading gravel and mulch, and installing lighting and irrigation, monument signs and concrete and adobe retaining walls.

Adobe work will be done by a crew from Bernalillos Youth Conservation Corps, a program that provides vocational and life skills to young people between 14 and 25 years old by teaching them traditional building skills.

Bernalillo received $275,591 in Federal Highway Administration funding toward the makeover and provided $68,898 in matching funds from gasoline tax revenue.

Rinaldi expects landscape work to start within a few weeks and last about three months. It is not expected to disrupt traffic flow, she said.

Makeover to redo Bernalillo-I-25 entry

MINNEAPOLIS - When Alice Menge started gardening, it was all about islands. With a nudge from her husband, Dick Sherwood, she's gone continental.

"At first, I had cut out some islands," Menge said of their St. Paul yard, "but he hated cutting around those because it meant trimming by hand. So I just started filling in."

After three decades of filling in, their yard - front, back and boulevard - is all garden.

With an eye for design honed by taking classes, visiting other gardens and learning from her own mistakes, Menge has crafted a natural, lived-in showcase with a harmonious array of textures, shapes and colors.

Viewed from the screen house in a corner of the yard, the landscape seems to levitate its way up to the two-story house. The front, anchored by a ginormous, rough-hewn maple, enchants. And that's before you follow one of the tidy stone paths to a fairy garden on the east side of the green-trimmed stucco house.

So, after covering every square inch of the property with gardens, is she done?

"Hmmm, probably never," said Menge, 63.

Spoken like a true gardener. Even when the destination is reached, the journey doesn't end.

And this journey involved collecting rocks from far-flung locations, fits and starts with waterworks and plants and a storm that cost them a third of the 80-year-old maple, as well as some unusual evolutions.

For starters, Menge worked "backwards," not tackling the front until the back was finished. The back yard itself has mutated mightily, from flowers to perennials to the current shrub-and-tree-dominated landscape.

An electrical problem started a fire that caused damages totaling $175,000 at a North Lebanon Township home Thursday afternoon, a fire chief said.

The fire was sparked by electrical wiring of a water filtering system, said Weavertown Fire Co. Chief Donald Steiner.

The fire caused damages of $100,000 to the home at 614 E. Maple St. and $75,000 to its contents, he said.

The basement sustained fire damage and the rest of the house had heavy smoke damage, the fire chief said.

Steiner said smoke detectors in the house did not go off, possibly because of dead batteries.

Jim Light, who lived in the home, said he laid down Thursday afternoon and was drifting off to sleep when his dog, Quinn, barked and woke him. He said he then heard water pipes banging in the basement and discovered his kitchen was filled with smoke.

Light and his dog escaped the fire unharmed.

Firefighters from nine fire companies were dispatched to extinguish the fire.

Our Father's House on Lunenburg Street in Fitchburg is a lifeline for the homeless, especially in the winter. The shelter's 28 beds have been full since last week due to the cold weather. SENTINEL & ENTERPRISE / BRETT CRAWFORD

As the temperature drops, local organizations are rallying to give the homeless a warm place to stay.

Kevin MacLean, director of homeless services for Our Father's House, said the 28 beds at the Fitchburg shelter have been full since last week due to the cold weather.

He said United Way Emergency Shelter Fund money has been available since Monday to put homeless into local hotels and motels through Sunday morning, and he had placed an additional 16 people at the Motel 6 in Leominster as of Friday afternoon.

There were another nine people placed there by other agencies, such as the Montachusett Interfaith Hospitality Network and the Spanish American Center.

Sentinel and Enterprise staff photos can be ordered by visiting our Smugmug site.

Our Father's House is one of several local organizations that have access to the fund, which takes effect on any night when the temperature falls below 10 degrees, or any night with 6 inches of snow or more. The fund was set up by local philanthropist Ron Ansin about six years ago to ensure that homeless folks don't freeze to death on the streets during the winter.

MacLean said each day he finds out about more new homeless people throughout the 31 area towns Our Father's House covers. Some are staying in abandoned buildings and vehicles, while a few are even sleeping in town gazebos.

"Most people know that if there's someone on the street, we can get them off the street in this weather," he said.
