The City of Edina is preparing a 6 million dollar bonding request for some much-needed upgrades and long-sought additions to the South Metro Public Safety Training Facility. As part of the request process, SMPSTF is hosting two information sessions for local and state elected officials. Staff is planning demonstrations of the shooting range, defensive tactics rooms, K9 course, burning building/flashover simulator and tower rescue techniques. This is a very unique opportunity to see your local public safety personnel train. This event is for elected officials, but is a public meeting.

It has been 50 years since Neil Armstrong stepped foot on the lunar surface, making "one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." On July 20, 1969, hundreds of millions across the world watched as Apollo 11 made its historic landing. That day will long be remembered as the first-time mankind ventured beyond the earth’s boundaries to explore a new world. But why did we go to the moon? What was it about that moment in history that would lead the nation to embrace a quest that many deemed impossible? Join us for a non-technical discussion of the many forces at work -- political, social and fiscal -- that led to mankind’s greatest technological achievement.

Manners matter. Campers will spend the week learning manners and preparing for a splendid tea. Cleaned laundry, pressed linens, table decorations and fresh butter will all be on the agenda as the campers practice their new skills and savor the late summer days together. Campers will celebrate their accomplishments at a fine tea on the last day of camp. This camp is recommended for ages 6-12. All campers should bring a bag lunch and a water bottle. We will eat lunch at camp each day. We encourage campers to dress as pioneers – but this is optional. We will spend time outdoors, so sunscreen should be applied before camp begins each morning. No flip-flops, please. Closed-toe shoes are the only appropriate footwear for camp. This camp will run from July 22 to July 25.

Dr. Don Shirley (Mahershala Ali) is a world-class African-American pianist, who is about to embark on a concert tour in the Deep South in 1962. In need of a driver and protection, Shirley recruits Tony Lip (Viggo Mortensen), a tough-talking bouncer from an Italian-American neighborhood in the Bronx. Despite their differences, the two men soon develop an unexpected bond while confronting racism and danger in an era of segregation.
