a nonprofit that provides free meals to the Littleton community could face difficult choices if it does not receive more funding you will find several organizations helping the community “Break Bread started in 2017 with a group of folks from the community that really saw a need for school families to get hot meals over the weekend,” said Stephanie Meder the nonprofit serves to-go meals on Wednesdays and community-style meals on Saturdays to anyone needing help But Meder said the need for food has continued to grow She said that COVID-19 funds have dried up and that organizations like Break Bread face changes on the horizon to get grant funding we've had to have some really challenging conversations about our long-term sustainability and if it's financially possible,” said Meder Break Bread continues to serve the community with a mission to stay open through this uncertain chapter “Our hope is that people that are able will come forward and support us be able to be here years to come,” she said If you want to help Break Bread, you can follow this link to donate Denver7 is committed to making a difference in our community by standing up for what's right lending a helping hand and following through on promises Lupoli Companies will break ground on a major new development on King Street in Littleton is expected to become the largest mixed-use development in the region Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey will join Sal Lupoli as well as state and local officials for the groundbreaking ceremony The development has been approved for approximately 2 million square feet of space including more than 1,000 residential units 115,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space Officials say the project will also include open space for community use and events One thing that quickly becomes clear on "Lost" is that the writers don't care about all the survivors equally Right below them are the second-tier characters like Hurley and Sayid; these characters usually had to settle for one spotlight episode a season but were still reasonably involved in everything going on At the very bottom of the named character rankings were Rose and Bernard two sweet old people who mostly hung out in the background Where was Claire Littleton (Emilie de Ravin) in all this? In the first season, she seemed to be in that second tier alongside Charlie and Hurley. As a pregnant woman on an island that's hostile to pregnancies, she was the center of arguably the most dramatic storyline in season 1 when she was kidnapped by the Others. But just as Charlie was downgraded in importance in season 2 She still received one spotlight episode for each of the first three seasons she was relegated to staying at the beach to take care of her baby Aaron Amid her dwindling prominence on the series Claire fans still got a fun surprise in season 3's "Par Avion," which revealed (to the audience not the characters) that she and Jack were half-siblings The show doesn't do much with this revelation even though you'd sure think the Others would've tried to weaponize this info against Jack at some point But before either of them can learn about their relation on the island Jack and the rest of the Oceanic Six are rescued while Claire is left behind there was no reason for fans to think Claire wouldn't be sticking around She was hardly the only survivor left behind: Sawyer Miles and Faraday were also still trapped on that island so the assumption was that Claire would link back up with them pretty soon But little did fans know that season 5 would be all about time travel Not only did Ben turning that giant wheel in the season 4 finale cause the island to magically move locations but it also left the island on shuffle mode jumping through time periods with little rhyme or reason Most of the survivors are thrown from year to year before finally landing in the 1970s and settling down there only some of the on-island survivors get caught up in the time jumps (I assume the Man in Black's magic was somehow involved.) Although Claire is never seen and is rarely mentioned by the other survivors her presence can still be felt in Kate and Jack's storylines and the kid serves as a constant reminder of the woman they'd left behind Jack also discovers that Claire's his half-sibling off the island which both increases his affection for Aaron and serves as yet another motivator to return to the island by any means necessary Season 5 ends with the '70s survivors setting off a hydrogen bomb which causes a time paradox that somehow throws them back into the modern day Season 6 starts with the entire cast back together again in the present day which means now's as good a time as ever for them to catch up with Claire Claire in season 6 is borderline feral. Her lonely years surviving off the island wilderness has turned her into someone who'd be more at home in a show like "Yellowjackets," although thankfully Claire never resorts to that show's cannibal extremes at least.) There's a bit of a tragic poetry to Claire's situation at the start of season 6; much like Danielle Rousseau long before her Claire has had her baby taken from her for unknown reasons and she's lost some of her sanity in the process The good news is that the other survivors are understanding about her situation Even after Claire tries to kill Kate at one point in a hysterical rage It helps that Claire has somehow discovered in the off-season that Jack is her half-sibling The other survivors understand that most people would lose their marbles a bit when trapped in Claire's situation plus Rousseau has given them practice in how to handle someone who's gone island-mad The most important development with season 6 Claire is her relationship with the devilish Man in Black who impersonates her father Christian and later John Locke we can tell he was not exactly a great influence nearly refusing rescue because she thinks she's too far gone to be a good mother to Aaron Kate convinces her otherwise.) Claire may have been left behind — literally and on a meta level — but at least in the end she gets to go home Looking through old interviews and reviews at the time it's clear that Claire was an afterthought not just for the show So if you were a rare Claire fan watching back in 2009/2010 you were likely disappointed by how little focus she was getting Her sibling reveal with Jack didn't amount to much nor did her relationship with Kate turn into anything special Perhaps most disappointing of all is that Charlie's sacrifice in the season 3 finale which he did so under the impression that he was getting Claire rescued If Charlie had known the result of him dying in that station was that Claire would be stuck alone on the island for three full years I'm not sure he'd have gone through with it The bright side is that season 6 didn't just have the on-island storyline to further Claire's journey, it also had the flash-sideways which shows a version of the afterlife where all the island characters get to meet up and find closure Claire gets to have her baby in regular society Charlie and Claire's on-island storylines are some of the most depressing things that have happened on the series so it's cathartic to see these two given the sweetest scene of the whole finale:  Emilie de Ravin sure seemed to enjoy Claire's season 6 arc, mainly because it gave the character something interesting to do again. "There's definitely been a lot going on with her," she said in a People interview at the time "I'm coming back as sort of a whole new character The actress appreciated how season 6 explored the Man in Black's influence on Claire which expanded on the season 4 plot point of Claire mysteriously abandoning her baby and wandering off alone into the woods "It explains why she left her child under a tree," de Ravin said "I was relieved to find out she just wasn't a terrible mother And although de Ravin didn't seem quite as thrilled about being thrown back into a pregnancy storyline for the flash-sideways she at least found the bright side in the change of setting: "Oh At least this time I don't have to wear it on the beach in 100-degree weather sweating my ass off."  There also wasn't much ill will between de Ravin and the "Lost" showrunners over her season 5 absence She was very busy at the time appearing in projects like "Remember Me," "The Chameleon," and "Public Enemies." In the end Claire's absence turned out a lot like Bran's absence in season 5 of "Game of Thrones." Sometimes a show just has too much going on and needs to be comfortable with putting a pin on a storyline or two so they can get back to it later As much as we would've liked to see Claire in season 5 it makes sense that such a fast-paced season would want to avoid too many detours from the main Dharma plot Although most fans enjoy Claire's final moments on the show (on and off island) the general consensus is that she was wasted by the writers They didn't do her quite as dirty as the once-hyped Walt or Charles Widmore Some fans attribute the lack of Claire focus to their (questionable) belief that de Ravin isn't a good actress Other fans believe Claire's simply a victim of the latter seasons' shorter episode counts which struggled to distribute screentime to the cast as evenly as the longer early seasons Someone always ends up getting the short stick in an ensemble series working under time restrictions Perhaps the most prevailing criticism regarding Claire is that the writers simply didn't know how to handle a young mother character They didn't seem to have the will or capacity to write her with the level of depth and agency that the other female characters enjoyed and even Shannon got to grow and change for the better throughout their time on the series but Claire spent her first four seasons as more of a plot device for the other characters to deal with She was there to further along the mystery of the Others, to further along Charlie's character development as a recovering addict, and to give Kate and Jack extra motivation to return to the island. But outside of a few fun moments scattered throughout the series, Claire's personal journey was never the top priority.

On Dec. 1, Denver7 spoke with people who live or recreate in the area who said they were upset about the sudden closure and the one-mile detour "I'm worried about the safety factor because the solution without that pass-through is to go all the way to Mineral and it puts kids and all ages of cyclists out on a busy street whereas we had safe passage over into the other neighborhood on Jackass Hill," Kathy Beach who has lived in the neighborhood since 1985 The residents said they understood that they would "just have to suck it up" if the connector was indeed on private property Denver7 attempted to contact the homeowner but did not hear back for our December story the city wrote on social media that it was working with the property owner the city said it had "many unsuccessful attempts to connect" with the adjacent homeowner the city ordered a property survey to determine the exact location of the public right-of-way The city also brought in outside legal counsel to complete property research and advise the city The surveyor was able to confirm that the city owns the right-of-way on the trail segment The city was able to reach the homeowner in mid-March and "has been committed to continuing an open and productive dialogue to address any concerns related to the public use of the trail and to ensure coordination with the city’s plans and timeline for reopening the trail," the City of Littleton said City Manager Jim Becklenberg spoke with Denver7 on Monday there have been various "assumptions" about who owns the land "That is why we've taken some time to do the deeper dive on the land use there and all the issues," he said "We need to move as quickly as we can to reopen that trail while also still trying to have some dialogue with the neighbors about how we can make it work the best for everybody." The neighbor who closed off the trail had "over the years expressed some security concerns" to the city bike and vehicle traffic on the trail and her property Becklenberg said conversations about how to remedy those concerns aren't finished yet "We're still trying to find some agreement on mitigations and things that might help that feel better to all the people involved there," he said The trail is expected to reopen on or before May 1 — Police in Littleton identified Tuesday a man arrested over the weekend in connection with an attempted kidnapping of a girl was arrested Saturday night following the alleged incident earlier in the day police said two girls riding their bikes in the 6800 block of S Prince Way were allegedly approached by Salazar who they said grabbed one of the girls from behind the girl was able to break free from the man and both girls rode their bikes to safety as Salazar fled the area Police said the suspect is unknown to the victims Salazar is being held at the Arapahoe County Jail on a $100,000.00 bond Police are asking anyone with information related to the suspect to contact them at 303-794-1551 Add to this a chock-full schedule of fantastic events and festivals and these seven destinations make a great shortlist from which to start planning a cool New Hampshire escape in 2025 Located midway between Boston, MA, and Portland, ME, Portsmouth is a cool town for a wander The town’s South End area is particularly fun to walk This excellent living history museum is home to a collection of restored 17th to 20th-century homes Prescott Park overlooks the Piscataqua River with its attractive lawns and gardens as well as open-air theater events all summer long Portsmouth’s entertainment calendar packs in some crowd-pleasers June’s popular Market Square Day Festival turns the downtown into a car-free street fair Another must-do is the Prescott Park Arts Festival celebrating its 49th summer season of concerts and Shakespeare starting late June Cool overnight stays can be had at The Hotel Portsmouth an 1881 Queen Anne-style mansion with elegant rooms; and the Ale House Inn a classy boutique hotel set in an 1880s warehouse beside the docks Famous as the home of Dartmouth College the pretty town of Hanover in central New Hampshire makes for a great summer vacation spot Highlights include the college’s Hood Museum of Art with its Monet masterworks and visiting exhibits a 50-mile stretch of which is maintained by Dartmouth College Several community events make a warm-weather visit even more appealing.
