Director: ANNA JUSTICE

Nelly Sue Edelmeister is a brainy thirteen-year-old Berlin school girl who aspires to be an astronomist. Nelly is terrible at sports, but she learns that there is a spot on the basketball team, and that the team will go to Luxemburg and meet the young Prince Edouard (also a fan of astronomy).

Meet basketball ace Max Minsky, 15, Nelly’s last hope for making the team. Meanwhile, Mom is pushing Nelly to do the bat mitzvah thing, and her parents are bickering day and night, and talking about splitting up. Max Minsky and Me is a dramatic comedy about friendship and family, royals and klutzes, and one girl’s complicated but clear triumph. Recommended for age 10+

This film should be required viewing for all 10-year-old girls in the US. And it wouldn’t be drudgery either.

By Paul Purman , TC Daily Planet

A Twin Cities watershed organization has a quarter million dollars of grant money to divvy up over the next few months, and they’re hoping groups that have traditionally not applied for funding will show up for an information meeting on Monday, September 8.

“Look at the demographics of our watershed,” explains Jenny Winkelman, Education & Outreach Coordinator for the Mississippi Watershed Management Organization (MWMO), which covers portions of the cities of Minneapolis, St. Paul, Lauderdale, and St. Anthony. “We have a huge audience we’re trying to reach, many of them fairly recent immigrant communities, such as the Hmong and Somali communities. Most traditional watershed materials are produced for a literate, English-speaking audience and may miss important populations.” MORE »
