Straight River Arts installs first in series of new public artworks
Straight River Arts installed the first of several works of public art Tuesday at Buckham Memorial Library. The arts organization partnered with Faribault Parks and Recreation and the Paradise Center for the Arts for the project, a 9-foot set of wind chimes with a fleur-de-lis hanging from the bottom. The organizations received a grant from the Faribault Economic Development Authority to fund the artworks. “It’s been a really amazing process,” artist and Straight River Arts co-founder Jessica Prill said. “The support that we have gotten from the city has been really great.” Prill created the wind chimes along with her husband, Matt Leister. Prill described the division of labor as her having more creative control over the project, while Leister did more of the engineering needed for the chimes, “He did all the hard parts,” Prill said. “I was the concept, he was the math. He went in and figured out how to get each pipe to have a specific note, and then a chord, and researched all of the things that are required to give it actual tuning and how to make it structural so that it could hang outdoors and be safe and last.” Prill’s inspiration behind this

The Jays' season looked to be in doubt in the section title game against the Tri-City United Titans on Friday, Nov. 6 in New Ulm. They were trailing 24-14 in the fourth quarter, but they ended up scoring 14 unanswered points to punch their return ticket to state and get revenge over TCU in dramatic fashion. The Titans handed the Jays their only defeat in the regular season.

Now, there is no doubt that Waseca looks to continue their season for a few more weeks, hoping to make it back to the state championship game.
