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

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. In a show that was famous for its vast array of diverse, complicated characters
the depth for Claire Littleton was never quite there

LITTLETON, Colo. — The City of Littleton plans to reopen a trail connecting Jackass Hill Park and the High Line Canal Trail after a nearby homeowner
mistakenly believing it was their private property
A surveyor confirmed that the city indeed owns the right-of-way on the trail segment
the city said in a press release on Monday
The 400-foot stretch of trail closed in November, and a sign was put up reading, "Private property and driveway, violators will be prosecuted." 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

– Joyce Littleton Craft’s impact on Hot Springs education is unforgettable
she shaped the lives of countless students and became an iconic figure in the community thanks to her commitment to success and focus on service
Her legacy now lives on in the auditorium at the Hot Springs School District; a space named after her.
“I believe firmly that I did make an impact,” Joyce reflects
sitting in the very auditorium that bears her name
where she learned the importance of resilience and perseverance
“[My parents] instilled in all of us the value of hard work,” she recalls
After earning a degree in business education
“My husband was involved in a very tragic accident the day before graduation,” Joyce says
That moment eventually led her to Hot Springs
where she would start a career that would ultimately leave a lasting legacy
becoming the first woman of color to serve as Assistant Principal at HSSD
You want me?” she says of her first administrative role
until the opportunity to serve as Superintendent arose
“I had been told… you don’t need to apply for that job because you’re not going to get it,” Joyce recalls
Joyce became the first woman and the first woman of color to hold that title at HSSD
“I had never backed down from hard work,” she says
reflecting on the challenges of her career
“Be a difference maker,” Joyce urges
a motto she has lived by throughout her career
she still remains involved in the Hot Springs community
serving on the boards of the Hot Springs Housing Authority
the National Park College Board of Trustees
and Hot Springs Women’s Leadership Alliance just to name a few
Joyce marvels at how far she’s come: “Can you believe that
Her name and her impact are indeed larger than life.
