The good folks at the Belmar Sustainable Neighborhood group are offering a free screening of "Bag It: Is Your Life too Plastic" on Nov. 16th at 6:30 PM. at the Colorado Media School, located at 404 S Upham St. in Belmar.
Pop up screenings of socially conscious movies at becoming more and more common (screenings of Education Inc. featured prominently in the recent, successful recall effort here in Jefferson County). Next week's screening of "Bag It" could be your chance to learn about sustainability (both nationwide and here in Lakewood), meet your downtown Lakewood neighbors, and be at one with the spirit of the times.
Plus, I've heard there will be free popcorn.

Lakewood Police Respond to Man Carrying Rifle in Belmar
Access to Belmar was shut down this afternoon around 3 pm for about an hour as over 30 police officers responded to reports of a man with a rifle.
It's legal to open carry weapons in Colorado, so I want to praise the Lakewood police department for taking this threat seriously and responding quickly and in force.
Just two weeks ago, a similar report of a man with a rifle in Colorado Springs was disregarded by local police. The man went on to kill four people, and the incident has raised questions about whether Colorado's lax gun laws make it more difficult for police to protect citizens.
When found, the man in Belmar this afternoon claimed he was just back from a hunting trip.
