‘An empty church, but still saying Mass’ Area pastors encourage congregants to find lessons in this strange time

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Two priests at St. Thomas More Catholic Church walked down the aisle of an empty church March 20 to begin their daily Friday Mass.

Normally, daily services like these garner crowds of about 200 congregants. These days, only about a dozen or so staff, including the priests themselves, dot the gathering space of

the Centennial church. Instead of 17 weekly services, the 12,000-person parish is now down to seven masses per week, or one every day.

Now that Gov. Jared Polis has ordered all in-person services of more than 10 people to be canceled as a measure to combat the spread of COVID-19, most people participating in the Mass will be watching the livestreamed celebration from their homes. Across the state, as places of worship experience mandated cancellations for the first time in their history, they are finding creative ways to build the sense of community that coming together as a congregation engenders each week.

“This is one of the saddest things

I’ve ever seen,” St. Thomas More IT manager Bob Lehto said while waiting for the service to begin. “An empty church, but still saying Mass.”

About 150 people tuned into the Friday livestream service. By the following Monday, the taping had about 1,400 views.

Many other places of worship throughout the Denver metro area have also begun streaming their services.

Some, like Cherry Hills Community Church, an Evangelical Presbyterian Church in Highlands Ranch, have found other solutions in addition to livestreaming.

Restaurants ‘ride out the storm’ at SouthGlenn Most businesses closed at outdoor mall, but restaurants still open despite temporary cuts

Just 11 months after opening a crawfish restaurant at The Streets at SouthGlenn, 27-year-old Khiem Nguyen had to lay off much of his staff.

“Chefs, cooks, employees — you name it,” Nguyen said. He hopes to bring them back when he’s able.

Colorado on March 16 ordered bars and restaurants to stop dine-in service for 30 days, later extending that shutdown through the end of April.

Delivery, take-out and drive-thru are still allowed, leaving large chains and small businesses to figure out how to stay afloat amid the economic changes dealt by COVID-19, the disease caused by a novel coronavirus.

“We’ll ride the storm out together as best we can,” said Nguyen, who lives in Parker. He describes his Crawfish Boil Co., a restaurant and bar, as a “small mom-and-pop shop.” It’s open for take-out and delivery.

ELLIS ARNOLD East Arapahoe Road, remains open.

But the vast majority of its businesses are closed, said Donald Provost, founding principal of the company that controls most of SouthGlenn.

“Whole Foods and restaurants will stay open,” said Provost, of Alberta Development Partners. SouthGlenn

“will not have any planned activities or events until it’s safe to so.”

Other malls and shopping centers in the Denver metro area have closed or modified their hours amid the spread of COVID-19. The Outlets at Castle Rock, a significant contributor to that town’s sales tax revenue, shut down

until March 30.

SouthGlenn has intensified its existing cleaning protocol, including ramping up cleaning efforts of all commonly touched surfaces such as seating, doors, handrails, elevators and directories, its website says.

“We are following the official guidance from federal, state and local health officials and they have told us that closing the mall is not a recommended action at this time,” the site says.

Angel Byun, a manager at Crawfish Boil Co., is focused on following guidelines for social distancing — a public health term that means avoiding gatherings and staying far enough away from people to remain healthy during the pandemic. She has been disappointed by seeing some flout the guidance, but seeing positive interactions gives her hope.

“I’m happy with ultimately how people are helping each other out,” said Byun, a 30-year-old from south Jefferson County. “There is still good in this world.”

Littleton Public Schools scrambling to go online District working on internet platform as hopes of returning to classrooms dwindle

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

March 12 was supposed to be the opening night of “Guys and Dolls” at Heritage High School. Lillian Fuglei, a junior, was on run crew — the black-clad kids who swap out props and sets between scenes.

By lunchtime, Littleton Public Schools had canceled all after-school activities, part of rapidly escalating efforts to slow the spread of coronavirus.

“Every theater kid was crying,” Fuglei said. “We were so close. We were mourning all the work we did.”

At the end of the day came the announcement that spring break would start that weekend — a week early.

“The hallways were louder than I’d ever seen before,” Fuglei said.

The next day, she and the rest of the yearbook staff spent a marathon

afternoon compiling the chronicle of their school year. After sports, clubs and pep rallies, they hastily added two more pages: the pandemic.

Now, confined at home as the disease forces ever greater shutdowns, Fuglei will be among nearly 15,000 LPS students whose education will go online as hopes to return to the classroom dwindle.

‘We beg for grace and patience’ “We’re waiting for direction from the governor on reopening, but I’m skeptical given what we’re seeing across the nation,” said Brian Ewert, superintendent of Littleton Public Schools. The district initially planned to close until March 30, but Gov. Jared Polis extended statewide school closures until at least April 17.

“We don’t know about prom or graduation yet,” Ewert said. “With that in mind, out of disaster comes innovation.”

Teachers and administrators are scrambling to build an unprecedented online learning platform to meet the needs of students from kindergarten to senior year, and have it up and running by April 1.

“There will be mistakes made, and we beg for grace and patience from parents,” Ewert said. “This is a baptism by fire.”

The task ahead is daunting: transforming complex curricula into virtual formats, training teachers of varying subjects and technical know-how on the software, meeting state standards, figuring out how long lessons should be, building in attendance tracking, and making sure every student has access to a reliable internet connection.

The district doesn’t know how many kids don’t have internet access at home, Ewert said, but schools have piles of Chromebooks and a few dozen wifi “hot spots” to hand out to parents.

“The demands on us to perform at a high level will be great,” Ewert said. “We’ve never been pushed to this degree.

Lindsay Atkinson, a parent of a first-grader at Lenski Elementary, said she’s glad the district is working on a program, but wishes the administrators had done more sooner.

“We’ve been in the dark this first week,” Atkinson said. “My main concern is that Superintendent Ewert is so concerned with equity. We can start before every child has a Chromebook.

Lenski is a wealthy community. They can send our Chromebooks to where they’re needed.”

ACTIONS YOU CAN TAKE IF YOU HAVE COVID-19 SYMPTOMS

If you have symptoms of COVID-19, first call a health care provider, clinic or hospital. The provider will give instructions on where to go to for care and testing.

If instructed to seek care, follow the precautionary advice of the medical provider before going into any health facility, the state advises.

Certain people are at higher risk of getting very sick from COVID-19, including older adults, especially those over 80; and those with chronic medical conditions such as heart, lung or kidney disease. Older adults who have chronic medical conditions are at the highest risk.

Illness can be severe and require hospitalization, but most individuals recover by resting, drinking plenty of liquids, and taking pain- and fever-reducing medications, according to the state.

Other advice from public health officials: • Stay home if you are sick.

• Wash your hands thoroughly and frequently for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, use hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.

• Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces such as desks, phones, doorknobs and rails.

• Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands. she’s not sure how her classes will translate online.

Practice kindness, connect with others, journal How to manage feelings of stress and fear during the COVID-19 pandemic

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

With a global pandemic closing schools, businesses, entire communities and threatening people’s livelihoods in addition to their health, it can be difficult to stifle the anxiety, stress and fear coming with the crisis.

“I think the public is very scared and I think that there’s a lot of fear and anxiety because there’s so much uncertainty,” said Cynthia Grant, chief clinical officer for AllHealth Network, a behavioral health nonprofit offering services throughout the Denver metro area.

Atchity Vincent Atchity, president and CEO of the statewide nonprofit Mental Health Colorado, believes a tipping point came when organizations started canceling events and closing offices

in mid-March as COVID-19 concerns mounted.

“Once the school districts started going, that creates this dramatic ripple effect,” he said.

Still, there are ways to cope, manage the mental health challenges, and yes, find joy in the days and weeks ahead.

Abigail Tucker, chief clinical officer at the Westminster-based Community Reach Center, said it’s important that people focus on their mental well-being in addition to their physical health while responding to the pandemic.

“People are sometimes still forgetting that health includes your mental health,” Tucker said.

What’s normal, what’s not?

Additional stress and anxiety at a time like this is a common and collective experience, Atchity, Grant and Tucker said. Just how much is normal will vary for each person, but clear signs emerge when someone is struggling with his or her mental health.

“Everybody reacts differently to stressful situations so normal is definitely a very wide range,” Grant said.

Being isolated and quarantined can add to the challenge.

Tools for Protecting Your Retirement Wealth in a Time of Crisis

by Kathy Muni

W

ith the coronavirus pandemic hitting the US, keeping ourselves healthy is our top priority. For seniors, another priority is our retirement portfolio and what’s going to happen to it due to our current economic uncertainty.

At times of severe market volatility, if you are a homeowner who is 62 or over and rely on your portfolio for monthly expenses, you may compound your problems by continuing to withdraw from those retirement funds which have already shrunk. As happened in 2007 – 2009, these loses may not be recovered quickly.

With a Reverse Mortgage Line of Credit, you can access funds by tapping into your housing wealth rather than drawing on other assets, thereby creating a hedge against the market downturn and beyond.

Then in the future, as market volatility decreases and stock market-based assets return to stable levels, you have the option of allowing those accounts to recover rather than sustaining large market losses now.

There are many different uses for a taxfree Reverse Mortgage Line of Credit. It can be a powerful tool in stabilizing and complimenting your retirement accounts.

The good news is that a Reverse Mortgage has easy income and credit requirements and can often be put in place in as little as thirty days.

To find out if a Reverse Mortgage is right for you, contact your local reverse mortgage experts at Silver Leaf Mortgage today. Most loans close within 30 days which means you can put in place a financial safety-net in short order.

STRESS FROM PAGE 5

“It can make people feel really helpless, that there’s really nothing they can do,” Grant said, “and I think that all of that is normal.”

For people with existing mental health conditions, times of crises can be exceptionally tough. Grant said some of their clients with mental illness were stable before the pandemic but not any longer. People with trauma histories can experience more flashbacks, nightmares and anxiety in the stressful environment.

Tucker’s center had more calls on March 16 than it had all year, she said, although the number of calls was not immediately available. Callers had a mix of needs. Some were new clients in search of service, others were rescheduling appointments and more wanted information about Telehealth appointments. Both AllHealth and Community Reach Center are seeing increased demand for services along with Telehealth, which allows people to access treatment remotely.

The pandemic “can also have a peculiar effect if somebody is used to living with bipolar disorder or depression,” Atchity said. “In collective unsettlement, they can suddenly find they are the calm ones and are more unflappable, like, ‘OK, now you understand my world.’ ” When in doubt, the three said, reach out to a local provider with

Tucker said a good way to gauge whether your reaction is healthy is to reach out to a trusted loved one and ask how he or she has perceived your response. Are they worried about you?

How to cope, offer support Atchity urged the community to find ways to quell panic even in the midst of crisis “so that we’re not defeated by our anxiety.”

Socializing while social distancing Atchity, Grant and Tucker stressed the need for people to stay connected with one another, ground themselves in their humanity and practice kindness throughout the pandemic.

“The idea of connecting with other people is something that we are very much advocating,” Grant said.

“Social distancing doesn’t mean you can’t connect with people.”

Use all the technology available to stay in touch with loved ones. Text, phone calls, social media, Facetime, and so on. If someone isn’t familiar with the high-tech tools, use the extra time at home to learn.

“Social distancing does not need to be emotional distancing,” Tucker said.

Most people depend on social interaction, which contributes to someone’s sense of being supported, feeling safe and staying mentally and emotionally healthy, Atchity said.

“There are so few of us who are true hermits and thrive in total isolation,” Atchity said.

Don’t be afraid to check on people if there’s reason to worry about them, he said. Tucker also cautioned friends and family looking to support someone struggling with their mental health should be prepared to help them find resources.

“The way we really turn this disruption to our advantage as a community is to take some of this down time and really put it toward one another with human connection,” Atchity said.

Amid shutdown, seniors battle loneliness Coronavirus crisis robbing elderly of human contact

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Rich Foerster doesn’t know when he’ll see his friends again.

Foerster, 72, is on the board at the Parker Senior Center, which most days is filled with folks chatting over card games and coffee. But amid the COVID-19 crisis, the center is shuttered, and Foerster worries about what that means for lonely seniors.

“I feel helpless,” Foerster said.

“I’m worried they’ll get lonely, then depressed, then stop eating, then get sick. Loneliness can be deadly, and that’s what we try to address.”

The Parker Senior Center is doing what it can, Foerster said. Volunteers are calling as many members as possible, and the center is still selling to-go meals.

But the center’s food bank is closed, and nobody knows when old friends will be able to gather together again.

Beyond the center, Foerster said, churches, rec centers and libraries are closed, leaving few options for the elderly to maintain their routines.

serious underlying medical conditions are at higher risk for the most severe complications of COVID-19, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

“I can see the fear of isolation cropping up already,” said Jen Engquist, the director of Break Bread, a free weekly community meal program in Littleton that largely serves local seniors.

“Our mission isn’t food,” Engquist said. “It’s building meaningful relationships through food. This is a game changer.”

Break Bread will still be handing out to-go meals every Saturday, but Engquist said she’s afraid physical solitude will turn into despair.

“People need to know they mean something to others, that somebody still cares,” Engquist said. “We’re getting through this together, apart.”

Even those elderly people who live in senior homes are adjusting to a more limited lifestyle as state health orders force strict quarantines.

Bill Hemingway, who lives at the MorningStar senior living home in Arvada with his wife Kim, said the crisis has taken the social life that prompted them to move to the center in the first place.

Hemingway praised the center’s staff, saying they are trying to keep morale up, and are diligent about watching for fevers among residents.

“We’re well taken care of,” Hemingway said. “We’re just wondering how long this will last.”

‘A very scary time’ The uncertainty of the coronavirus crisis is weighing on some seniors.

“I don’t know when I’ll see my grandkids again,” said Sue Frommelt, a board member with the Highlands Ranch Senior Club. “It’s surreal.”

Frommelt, 70, said she moved to Highlands Ranch to be closer to her grandkids, just like many members of the Senior Club.

“We had a cruise planned, and that got canceled, and we figured we’d just spend Spring Break with the grandkids,” Frommelt said. “Then my kids told me they want me to just stay home, and they won’t come over. It hurts. I understand it, but I don’t like it.”

Many older folks in Highlands Ranch are transplants, Frommelt said, and without senior clubs and other community groups, life can drag.

“I saw a post on Facebook that said ‘In case you need to know, today is Thursday,’ ” Frommelt said. “I have a husband, but for those living alone, this could be a very scary time.”

Some seniors are doing their best to make use of new technology.

Obstacles ahead As the crisis drags on, so will other challenges for seniors.

For Love Inc, a Littleton-based nonprofit, many of their volunteers and the people they serve are elderly.

One of Love Inc’s programs is driving elderly people to errands or doctor’s appointments. The pool of drivers has plummeted, said Kathryn Roy, the group’s director.

“Our volunteers are mostly vulnerable retirees,” Roy said. “We’re understanding if they don’t want to serve as they have been.”

Thankfully for now, the number of needed rides has also dropped, but Roy said she anticipates it will rise again in coming weeks.

“People are putting off doctor’s appointments, but they can’t do that forever,” Roy said. “People will need to get to food banks and drugstores.”

The best thing the community can do, Roy said, is stay as connected as possible and look for ways to help vulnerable seniors.

“Look out for your neighbors,” Roy said. “Call people. We have to renew our commitment to community, even as we’re feeling isolated.”

Hospitals prepare for surge of COVID-19 patients Well-being of staff members is key component, health leaders say

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Since early March, managers and administrators at Littleton Adventist Hospital have been meeting as many as six times a day.

Those meetings, part of the hospital’s emergency preparedness activation, originally took place in-person but have since shifted to video chat as the hospital aims to reduce in-person contact between its employees.

However, the purpose of the meetings has remained the same: to evaluate and discuss where the hospital’s capacity and stock of supplies are at as the facility anticipates a possible influx of seriously ill COVID-19 patients.

It’s a worrying possibility, but Dr. Mark Elliott, an emergency room physician who serves as the president of Littleton Adventist’s medical staff, says he feels “very good” about Littleton Adventist’s ability to respond to the challenge.

“We have been training for this kind of thing for years, and Littleton Adventist has experience with mass casualties in the past,” Elliott said.

“This is not a mass casualty situation,

WHAT IS CORONAVIRUS? Coronavirus is a family of viruses named for the microscopic view of crownlike spikes on their surfaces, according to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

These viruses can cause the common cold or more severe diseases such as SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) and MERS (Middle East respiratory syndrome), which have seen outbreaks in the past, according to the CDC. COVID-19 — standing for “coronavirus disease 2019” — first appeared in late 2019 in Wuhan, China.

Symptoms of COVID-19 can include fever, cough and breathing trouble. Most people develop only mild symptoms, according to Denver Public Health. But according to the CDC, some — usually those with severe underlying health conditions or older adults — develop more serious symptoms, including pneumonia, which can be fatal.

Technically, COVID-19 is caused by a virus named SARS-CoV-2.

based network of 17 hospitals that also includes Parker Adventist Hospital, Castle Rock Adventist Hospital, St. Anthony Hospital in Lakewood and the St. Anthony North Medical Campus in Westminster. Elliott said the other Centura hospitals are similarly prepared for the outbreak.

A Centura webpage with information about COVID-19 and the hospital’s response can be accessed at centura. org/COVID-19.

Incident command system A chief medical officer at HealthOne, the largest hospital opera-

tor in the Denver metro area, said the hospitals in that system, which include Sky Ridge Medical Center in Lone Tree, Swedish Medical Center in Englewood and North Suburban Medical Center in Thornton, are similarly ready to deal with a surge in COVID-19 cases.

That’s in part because HealthOne is owned by HCA Healthcare and is therefore able to benefit from the sophisticated incident command that HCA employs for the 184 hospitals it owns across the United States and the United Kingdom.

but the same preparation that gets us ready for that gets us ready for this.”

That pre-existing preparedness has also been bolstered more recently, Elliott said, by efforts to convert underutilized space into negative airflow rooms where COVID-19 patients could be treated and to make more nurses available to treat those patients by postponing elective procedures.

ave you ever put together a jigsaw puzzle? If you have, you know exactly what it feels like to be working through it and then finally finding that one piece of the puzzle that had haunted you for the past couple of hours or maybe even days.

And most times, at least for me, when WINNING I did finally find WORDS the elusive piece, it had been right in front of me the whole time. It’s frustrating and rewarding all in the same moment.

During this time of staying home in self-quarantine mode, we are pass- Michael Norton ing the time in several ways, and one of those ways is assembling jigsaw puzzles. So, I am currently and acutely aware of the scenario above. One of the first things that happens when putting together a jigsaw puzzle is that we typically find all the edges and begin building the perimeter, don’t we? Then, we start to fill in the middle. And with each added

piece the image takes shape and we build momentum as we know that completion is getting closer. But somehow, the temporary sense of accomplishment and joy we feel as we look at our completed puzzle is replaced by a certain sadness, the puzzle is finished.

The world seems like a bit of a jigsaw puzzle right now doesn’t it?

Maybe our lives feel like a little bit of a jigsaw puzzle too. The health crisis has brought with it all kinds of uncertainty, missing pieces, and missing information. Disruption in employment, empty shelves in the grocery store, shortage of healthcare resources and hospital beds, travel restrictions and bans, work and school closures, and worship services and gatherings being canceled. Throw in the various levels of compliance and non-compliance with social distancing and the puzzle gets even harder.

Here’s the thing. Just imagine if we were given all the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle but not a picture of what the finished product was supposed to look like. It wouldn’t be impossible to finish, but it just

Living the coronavirus chaos one moment at a time

ell, strap in, it’s gonna be a bumpy ride.

Some people may feel irritated as their news feeds have been bombarded by the coronavirus, but the emotional roller coaster we’re on is real. Who would have thought we’d be living in an acGUEST tual sci-fi movie. As I write this, I’ve just COLUMN finished my first week of home isolation with my family, and so far, we’re all fine. (As far as we know.) I don’t know about you, but I’ve been moving from angst to calm to fear to laughter — Linda Newell sometimes all in the same day.

At first, I was glad I was keeping up with the public health forecasts. At least my family would be prepared. So, we started planning, preparing, stocking up and hun-

kering down as soon as the virus arrived in the United States. Good for us. We were smart, and we were lucky enough to have the funds to buy a bunch of supplies all at once.

But then I worried about those who didn’t. How were they coping?

Thank God for the volunteers and donors who have stepped up to help them. But then how long can that last?

Then, as the disease encroached on Colorado, my personal fears started to ooze in and my “whatifs” took over my brain. Although I don’t feel it, I’m just over 60, and I’m one of those immunocompromised people, so I fit the description of the usual target. What if I get this thing? How many times a day can I wash my hands before they shrivel up for good? I was spiraling.

But in the morning, I’d have a warm cup of EmergenC with my vitamins, and conversations with my daughters, and I’d feel hope and joy all over again. Until I’d go online and see people complain about their

neighbors. Or the media reporting about coronavirus scams and fraudsters. Really, people, where’s our humanity?

So, yes, I’ve been up and down emotionally. Haven’t we all? But there is one thing that is constant — my faith. Not a religious faith, but a faith in our destiny as a people. Yes, this sucks right now. But who knows what’s on the other side of it?

Who might we become when we’ve learned how to go within because we had months of isolation to practice? Who might we be as families after we’ve met our fears, struggles, laughs and losses together? Collectively, what will our community look like when we’ve acknowledged that our individual actions truly affect our neighbors’ lives?

I see a chaotic world right now, and maybe for a while. I’m not asking anyone to bypass the fear, anger,

might take a little longer and be a bit harder. It’s kind of where we all are right now. We are looking at this giant pile of puzzle pieces and we don’t know what it is supposed to look like in the end.

Right now, what is happening is that country by country, state by state, city by city, and home by home, we are all building our perimeters. We are finding, defining, and connecting all the edges so that we can start to fill in the interior of the puzzle. Some of the pieces seem obvious to us, and others are still elusive and that’s okay. You see, with each new piece we find and connect, and with each new piece that we understand where it goes, we get that much closer to solving the puzzle.

For us, it’s just my wife and me working on our jigsaw puzzles together at home. However, this worldwide jigsaw puzzle has many more people trying to put it together. There are a lot of really smart

people and organizations working towards solving the puzzle. There is a lot of money and focus being applied to getting everything reassembled. This is a puzzle that is going to take longer than we had thought, will be harder than we anticipated, and will cost more than we had planned for. But in the end, it will be solved as all puzzles eventually are.

And unlike the personal jigsaw puzzles we work on in our homes and for fun, this is a puzzle that when we do solve it, there will not be any sadness or remorse when it is over.

How about you? Are you finding ways to shelter safely? Are you finding ways to occupy your time productively? I would love to hear all about your puzzle-solving techniques at mnorton@tramazing.com, and when we can work through this puzzle with patience and diligence, it really will be a better than good week.

aven’t left the house in several days? Looking to get out, hopefully, sans crowds?

As communities throughout the nation ban gatherings of 10 or more and urge people to practice social distancing because of COVID-19, Colorado’s great outdoors await.

The following are just some of the many options that don’t require you to leave the metro area.

North Table Mountain Looming over downtown Golden, this mesa — it isn’t technically a mountain, despite the name — offers great views of both central Golden below and the downtown Denver skyline to the east. To take in the views, park at the Golden Cliffs parking lot and take the 1.8-mile round-trip trail up the mesa. This relatively short trail is rated intermediate but it has some steep and rocky sections that can be challenging.

Once at the top, continue your exploration of the mesa by taking the longer North Table Mountain loop or just take in the rewarding views before heading back down.

Roxborough State Park The nearly 4,000-acre park southwest of Littleton is home to stunning red rock formations and abounds with natural beauty. The park’s eight trails total 14 miles and range in difficulty. Take a walk, run, cross-country ski or go on a snowshoe adventure.

The park does not allow pets, drones, camping, mountain bikes, horses, rock climbing, fires or

marijuana, to preserve the natural features.

Note, amid coronavirus concerns, all planned programs and events are canceled for the month of March, although the park and visitor center will remain open for normal hours, according to the Colorado Parks and Wildlife website.

All trails start at the visitor center. Parking is limited. Hours vary but are generally 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. during winter.

Castlewood Canyon State Park Just a jaunt from Franktown, Castlewood Canyon State Park is home to a piece of Colorado history and mild to moderate trails. From half a mile to 4-mile stretches, trails take users along Cherry Creek, to a natural amphitheater and the skeleton of the legendary Castlewood Dam, which burst and caused the great flood of 1933.

Park hours are from sunrise to sunset. Gates close one hour before park closure. Leashed pets are allowed on most trails, except for the East Canyon Preservation Area trail.

The Sternitzky family has four children being homeschooled

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Like many families, Wendy and John Sternitzky are coping with the outbreak of COVID-19 in a variety of ways. They’re following the government guidelines, enjoying being outside when they can and finding new ways to keep themselves and their kids entertained.

Wendy homeschools the couple’s four kids full time and John is a contractor for the Air Force. Usually, he’s traveling for work but right now, he’s

enjoying some time at home.

On a sunny afternoon, the day before a large snowstorm, the Centennial family was savoring some playground time at Cougar Run Park in Highlands Ranch.

How has homeschool for the kids been affected by COVID-19?

JOHN, 39: On Friday’s we do a combined co-op with other kids in the area and that was canceled.

WENDY, 37: The kids are disappointed.

What else has changed for your family?

JOHN: I’m working from home now.

I was directed on Friday that everyone had to do mandatory telework and now that’s the case for the foreseeable future. As far as other impacts, our two oldest kids were signed up for

CHURCHES FROM PAGE 1

The 4,500-person church is offering three “Drive Up Church” gatherings on weekends, similar to a drive-in movie. Cars entering from Grace Boulevard will be guided to staggered parking spaces, and people can view the service from inside their vehicles.

At St. Andrew United Methodist Church, also in Highlands Ranch, Bible studies and support groups have been moved to video chats for the more than 3,000-person church. Soon, Rev. Mark Feldmeir plans to begin daily live video chats on Facebook, where he can respond to people’s comments and provide a brief devotion.

“Despite the challenges that the current coronavirus is creating, it’s also creating new opportunities to think creatively about how we reach people,” Feldmeir said.

By far the most common remedy for churches is to stream their worship service online. But this, of course, isn’t a perfect fix and doesn’t replace the opportunity to attend in person.

Father John Judanha, right, and Deacon George Morin conducted Mass to a nearly empty church March 20, after the governor ruled that in-person services were no longer permitted due to COVID-19. The Mass was livestreamed to parishioners.

ELLIOTT WENZLER “It’s different when you’re leading worship in front of an empty house,” Feldmeir said.

For St. Thomas More and other Catholic churches, this solution takes away the opportunity to receive Com-

community theater and so play practice has been canceled. They haven’t canceled the play (“Alice in Wonderland”) in April yet, but rehearsals have been brought online. The other night they did a Zoom meeting to go over the play parts.

How is your family holding up?

JOHN: I travel a lot for work and I had traveled a week ago on Sunday. So I was a little bit nervous and then our kids, over the past month or so, have had runny noses and colds and stuff.

And I wasn’t sure if my sore throat was due to coronavirus or was it not?

But we never came down with a fever and my travel is now postponed. So we’re just going to hunker down and listen to what the leaders say.

munion, an important sacrament within the faith, said Monsignor Tom Fryar. In this sacrament, which is practiced in every service, churchgoers line up to eat and drink, symbolically, the body and blood of Christ.

“It takes away the central element of our spiritual celebrations,” he said.

“The Eucharist is the source and the summit of our spiritual life.”

While it’s undoubtedly a challenging time for places of worship, many pastors are encouraging their congregants to find the opportunities in this solitary time.

“The main lesson is that this is really challenging for people who think they’re in charge of their lives,” Fryar said. “We like to think so, but there is so much in our lives that we can’t control.”

To glean these lessons, Feldmeir is encouraging people to limit their intake of news and entertainment.

“In a strange way, this crisis becomes an opportunity for us to focus on what matters most to us,” he said.

“Binge-watching ‘Mad Men,’ while it may be fun, it also may fill in the gaps that this opportunity creates for us to do some spiritual searching.”

The original irrigation ditch system dates to the late 1800s and connected Arvada’s Van Bibber Creek to Clear Creek, with more segments added later on.

Cities began adding athletic paths for walking, running and bicycling later on. In Westminster, a trailhead can be found at the southeast portion of Standley Lake — about 90th and Independence.

From there, the trail runs through Westminster for 10 miles, connecting to the Northglenn’s Northwest Open Space and on to E.B. Raines Park before continuing on to the northeast through Thornton and on to Erie.

But the best part of the trail is the dizzying number of connections you can make using the Farmers’ High Line Canal as the spine.

Near 86th and Kipling, it connects to the Rocky Mountain Greenway Trail that winds up at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal Refuge in Commerce City if you go east and the Rocky Flats Refuge if you go west. It also connects to the U.S. 36 Bikeway and trips to Denver or Boulder as well as numerous neighborhood side trails, parks and open space areas.

As more people look to get outside, the number of visitors to area parks and trails has been on the rise. The following are some tips from Jefferson County Open Space to help keep yourself and others safe: • If you are sick, do not visit parks and public areas. Stay home, except to seek medical care.

not gather in groups larger than 10 until further notice.

• Practice social distancing, even in parks, trailheads, trails and climbing crags.

• Bring your own hand sanitizer and/or hand-washing supplies; many parks and restrooms lack running water.

• All park visitors are expected to adhere to public health guidelines and

• High-risk visitors should use discretion for park visits and public restroom use.

Running, cycling in east suburbs Something the east side of the Denver suburbs have going for them is their endless walkability. Look up a map of the metro area, and you’ll notice something: There are nearly no state highways crisscrossing Aurora and east Centennial.

The whole region is a refreshing place to go for a walk, run or bike ride, or find a park you didn’t know about with your children.

For the dedicated cyclist, a trip down the West Toll Gate Creek Trail and the Cherry Creek Trail — including some nearby trails — can take you the full north-south length of Arapahoe County, from Colfax Avenue to the south county line. Lots of trails can take you farther east, and all the way down to the Southlands mall area.

Arapahoe Road, a source of perennial frustration in traffic, can be a

peaceful ride east of Parker Road.

And Parker Road in itself offers a wonderful view of the Cherry Creek State Park, south of Belleview Avenue.

Here’s something you might not know: On the Cherry Creek Trail, you can go straight from downtown Denver to Cherry Creek State Park and all the way down to the Castle Rock area, parallel to Parker Road.

That’s nearly 40 miles of biking, for anyone determined enough to try it.

And as confusing as central and west Centennial can be to navigate, two southeast-to-northwest paths — the Big Dry Creek and Little Dry Creek trails — offer a peaceful way to cut through the suburban sprawl.

High Line Canal Winding 71 miles from the mouth of Waterton Canyon to the prairie of northeast Denver, the High Line Ca-

nal Trail is among the Denver area’s finest outdoor offerings.

The trail passes through numerous distinct segments, meandering through cottonwood groves, past wetlands and verdant meadows, many hidden from the surrounding city. Numerous trailheads dot the length of the journey, making for easy access to short segments. The portion through Cherry Hills Village is often regarded as the crown jewel.

The High Line Canal Conservancy recently published a trail guide and map, loaded with information about every mile of the trip, available by mail order at highlinecanal.org.

Mountain biking at Apex Park Mountain cycling can be challenging, but once you get going in full gear, there is no better feeling than cycling through the woods.

Apex Park is a beautiful place to get out into open space while practicing social distancing. If you have a mountain bike, try the Enchanted Forest trail. The trail is about 3 1/2 miles long, but it can be used for things other than mountain cycling.

Take your dog on a walk there or even spend the afternoon using the trail for a hike.

Apex Park is at 121 County Highway 93, near Golden.

FAMILY FROM PAGE 13

WENDY: I am an extrovert, so this could get really long. But I actually did talk to three people today, faceto-face... I’m trying to be creative and it’s kind of fun on Facebook, all these families who have kids who go to school, they’re having to figure out what to do and so they’re asking for ideas. It’s kind of fun to share some things. Like when we were folding laundry, we looked at tags and we’re going to map where our clothes are from... The fact that everybody is in the same boat feels different, because we’re all doing it together. So there’s a lot of brainstorming together.

What’s the biggest effect on your daily life so far?

WENDY: I’ve just been thinking a lot about meal planning… I’m just hoping all the panic-buying will calm down.

What part of this has you the most worried?

JOHN: My worry is more on the overall local economy. I don’t think

there’s going to be such a mass shortage that people go hungry, but I worry about the... secondary effects of what happens when people stop pumping money into the local economy.

WENDY: It’s the unknown. How long until we can emerge to normalcy? And then how do we know when we go back out that it’s not going to spike again? We’re just trying to follow what we’re asked to do to keep people safe. We’re not so worried about ourselves.

Are there any silver linings to this situation for your family?

JOHN: I get to be home with the family and eat all meals with them.

I’m still working during the day so it’s not like I can play with them but I eat three meals a day, I’m not stuck in traffic, I’m not stuck in the office late. The government isn’t very good about teleworking like other industries are so I think that this is probably a good force for the government to see that you can telework and it can be a productive thing.

WENDY: Our 1-year-old thinks this is the best. When he wakes up he’s like “Where’s daddy?” and he’s right there.

What’s going on in my hometown?

From special events to local politics, We’ve got you covered.

The separate Children’s Hospital Colorado also recently announced that it is closing several of its clinics for the same reason.

But even with a reduced number of open clinics, Kaiser still has an important role to play in helping address and prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Dr. Wendoyln Gozansky, a geriatrician and vice president and chief quality officer at Kaiser, said the company is trying to take what she called “a virtual-first approach” to caring for potential COVID-19 patients. That approach asks those exhibiting COVID-19 symptoms to use virtual options ranging from emailing a doctor to “e-visits” to seek initial treatment, although Gozansky emphasized those patients whose treatments cannot be managed virtually can still seek treatment at Kaiser offices.

“We really are trying to meet our members where they are during this time of unprecedented change during this pandemic,” Gozansky said.
