Cottage Grove art teacher Anna King participates blindfolded in a round of the Great Throw Down at the Workshop on Saturday, Aug. 6. At her right is her high school art teacher, the person who taught her how to mold clay, Tricia Schmidt of St. Paul who teaches at Central High. The two women signed up along with fellow art teacher Randy Schutt, who also teaches at Central High in St. Paul. He earned first place in the Great Throw Down. "I've never done anything like this before," said Schutt. "I loved it." His favorite round was the blindfold one; they also did one round one-handed, who could make the longest coil, and who could make the most in 10 minutes. >> See more photos online at www.LongfellowNokomisMessenger.com.

Cindy Sundberg (above) and husband Mark Sundberg are asking the city to release all available video footage from the night their 20-year-old son was killed by bullets from snipers with the Minneapolis Police Department. Tekle Sundberg lived in an apartment building at 904 21st Ave. South in the Seward neighborhood, and was killed July 14, 2022 while experiencing a mental health crisis. Bystander footage shows Sundberg the moment he was shot, six hours after the standoff began.
