The ‘Carnation City’ And Festival Came To Be

The wheat farms supthe many mining camps located just west Wheat Ridge became known nationally as the ty.” Carnations need ample sunlight in order Wheat Ridge supplied that in abundance and hosen location for the greenhouses growing

It ended with music and other entertainment lasting until midnight.

Over the last 49 years, there have been many changes: from the types of events, the variety of entertainment, the parade participants, and the various locations in the city.

It has featured lots of dancing, including the Red Boots Folk Ensemble, Fiesta Alegre Spanish and Mexican Dancers, Polish Youth Club Dancers and the Bailesartes Mexican Dancers among others. The festival has gone from a threeday event to a two-day event and back to a three-day event.

At one point, they even tried calling it by a different name but the intent remains: to be a family-friendly celebration that brings the community together.

One thing has stayed the same every year: kids and their parents eagerly gather around 38th Avenue looking for their favorite spot to see the parade. (The parade remains on 38th Avenue, after a short hiatus on 44th Avenue.) From 9 a.m. to noon parade entries come from community groups, service groups, community-building organizations, local Boy and Girl Scout troops, Wheat Ridge-based businesses, churches, special-interest groups and others wanting to celebrate their hometown: Wheat Ridge.

Individuals who have made significant contributions or had an impact in Wheat Ridge are recognized as the Carnation Festival Grand Marshal, Count, and Countess. These three individuals lead the parade, then decide the parade winners for each category. The first Carnation Queen was Jacque Ferguson. The first Count and Countess were Gary Wardle and Barbara Davis.

The directors of the first festival were Zebulon M. Pike Jr., William R. Cornelison, Frank Stites, Marie Engelman, and John Harper. For a few years, the Festival was run by the Wheat Ridge Chamber of Commerce, then turned over to an all-volunteer board. Today the Wheat Ridge Carnation operates as a 501(c)(3) with a non-profit board of directors.

The current board includes Festival Chair Joe Demott, ViceChair Walt Petit, Dave Petit, Chris Miller, Ruth Baranowski, Cyndy Beal, Rob Benson, Tim Berland, Dominick Breton, Leah Dozeman, Theresa Joyce, Joe Seehusen, Emily Smith and Renee Schreiner.

According to the Carnation Festival website, “Like the City, the Festival has seen its fair share of hiccups, disasters, rain-outs and tragedy, but it has never stopped growing. It has never stopped trying to be the best it can possibly be and it has never stopped being what it is – The Wheat Ridge Carnation Festival.”

What a fitting celebration of the city and the lovely flower that was immortalized in a charming poem by Theodore Roethke. This is an excerpt from the poem, “Carnations”: Pale blossoms, each balanced on a single jointed stem, The leaves curled back in elaborate Corinthian scrolls…

Like…The windless perpetual morning above a September cloud.

Effort to recall Sen. Brittany Pettersen underway Signature gatherers have until Sept. 16 to get 18,376 signatures for a recall vote

BY JOSEPH RIOS JRIOS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Efforts to recall Colorado state Sen. Brittany Pettersen, D-Lakewood, are moving forward after the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office approved a petition to recall her on July 18.

The petition, propelled by Lakewood native and Republican Nancy Pallozzi, reads Pettersen should be recalled because “she advocates for taxpayerfunded heroin injection sites.” It continues by listing measures Pettersen has voted yes on in the past as reasons why she should be recalled, including votes on an updated sex education curriculum, a bill that increases regulation on the oil and gas industry in the state and the red flag law — a law that gives Colorado judges the right to temporarily remove firearms from citizens considered to be at risk of

harming themselves or others.

The petition must gain 18,376 signatures from registered voters in District 22 by Sept. 16. If that happens, the question to recall Pettersen will trigger a special election.

“We will get the signatures, that will happen. We’re staying the course,” said Pallozzi. She ran against Pettersen for a seat on the Colorado House of Representatives in 2016 but lost by nearly a 20% margin. “Too much has happened here in the past six months, and we can’t wait three years to see what happens.”

Pettersen, was elected to her position last November when she defeated Republican Tony Sanchez by about a 17% margin.

The seat for Senate District 22 — which includes a strip of land running Pettersen from C-470 and Ken Caryl in the south, through Lakewood and north to Edgewater — would normally be up for re-election in 2022.

“Recalls are for outrageous behav-

ior, the last resort option for somebody who should not be in office, and disagreements in policies are not what this is for. That’s what elections are for,” said Pettersen. She says she feels 100% confident the recall effort will not be successful against her. “These are out of touch extremists who are using the recall method to hijack our democracy on the backs of tax payers.”

Pettersen says she is proud of the things Colorado’s government has achieved during her time as an elected official so far, including the Equal Pay for Equal Work Act, a law she sponsored that gives an individual the right to sue an employer over discrimination complaints based on gender, full day kindergarten for Coloradans, and her work to fight the opioid epidemic. Pettersen’s mother has struggled with addiction — something she has been vocal about in the past.

Alex Inscoe, a 24-year-old field director for the Jefferson County Republican Party and a District 22 resident, said the party isn’t pushing the recall effort, but supports it. Inscoe, who

gave his opinion to the Lakewood Sentinel as a resident, said he can name 10 to 15 votes Pettersen has voted on in the state legislature that he was disappointed in.

“I don’t know if this recall is going to work or not. If it wakes people up in the district, it’s a good thing,” said Inscoe. “If we don’t have a balance of power in our state legislator, one party or the other can (do) everything they want. I still believe it’s a purple state, and we need to get back to our purple roots. We can’t just let one party or another control everything.”

Democrats outnumber Republicans in the State Senate 19 to 16 and in the State House, 41 to 24.

“Pettersen hasn’t been accused of any wrongdoing, and she’s voting the way she said she’d vote. If the GOP wants to win in this swing district, put up better candidates,” said Anna Hannel, a stay at home mom in Lakewood.

“Wait until the next election season and find better people to run. That’s how democracy works. I’m going to be pissed if my tax dollars are used for a special election if this recall moves forward.”

Three suspects found guilty in murder of 27-year-old D’Evelyn grad Third suspect’s July trial comes to a close

BY CASEY VAN DIVIER CVANDIVIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A Jefferson County jury has found Alicia Elena Valdez guilty of first-degree murder in the Edgewater shooting of 27-yearold Andrew Jenicek, a graduate of D’Evelyn Senior High School.

The shooting occurred in April 2018 when Valdez Jenicek, on his way to pick up dinner, was shot in the parking lot at 20th Avenue and Sheridan Boulevard, according to the district attorney’s press release.

Valdez, 21, who was found guilty

on July 18, was one of three codefendants in the case, along with 20-yearold Caleb Joseph Vigil and 21-year-old Devon Drittz Howard. Juries found both men guilty in April. Witnesses gave testimony that the three “acquired a gun (used in the shooting) and planned to use it Vigil to make money,” the release said.

Both Vigil and Howard had prior felony convictions according to the Jefferson County DA’s office.

Vigil shot Jenicek while attempting to rob him, then fled the scene Howard with Howard and Valdez in Valdez’s car, the release said. Jenicek died at the scene.

Two days later, Vigil and Valdez were pulled over. The two were arrested when police found the weapon in Valdez’s vehicle.

Valdez told officers she had not known the gun was in her car, claiming Vigil and Howard hid the gun from her because her father died to gun violence when she was a teenager.

During Valdez’s trial, the jury watched footage of her interrogation, in which police said her car had been recorded by surveillance cameras at the scene of Jenicek’s murder. Throughout the interrogation, Valdez repeatedly told officers she didn’t recall the events of the crime and that she and Howard, her boyfriend of one month, were not involved in the incident.

On April 30, a jury found Howard guilty of 18 counts and Vigil guilty of 16 counts related to three inci-

dents: Jenicek’s murder, an Arvada drive-by shooting and the robbery of a Lakewood cell phone store that occurred after the murder, the release said. The counts included first degree murder and aggravated robbery.

Vigil received a sentence of life in prison plus 118 years and Howard received life in prison plus 279 years.

Howard was sentenced as a habitual criminal.

After a six-day trial and daylong deliberation, Valdez was acquitted of counts related to the Arvada shooting and Lakewood robbery. Valdez’s sentencing has been scheduled for Aug. 23.

Jenicek’s family and D’Evelyn have established a memorial award in Jenicek’s honor to be awarded yearly to a “unique individual who, like Andrew, never fails to fully express themselves.”

Amazon’s Deal With Real Estate Franchisor Could Be a Game Changer

Maybe you heard about the recent deal between Amazon and Realogy in which they give buyers $1,000 to $5,000 in smart-home products if you let them assign you an agent.

Unless you’re in real estate, you probably never heard of Realogy. They’re a holding company which owns multiple real estate franchisors that you have heard of—Coldwell Banker, Century 21, Better Homes & Gardens Real Estate, Sotheby’s International Realty and ERA Real Estate.

Denver is one of 15 markets where this program called “Turnkey” is being rolled out, with the intention of making it nationwide.

Being the curious journalist that I am, I pretended to be a home buyer and went to Amazon’s website for this program. I filled in my name, email address (not the one that identifies me as a real estate agent) and cell number, and within a minute received a phone call from a man at a Realogy affiliate, who asked me where I was looking (I said Golden & Arvada), price range (I said $500,000), and whether I owned and would be selling my current home. (I said yes.)

Then he explained (because I asked) that he was sending a text to all the participating “highly screened” agents in my market and would assign me the first agent who responded to the text. I would not be able to select the agent.

The agent who was assigned to me was a newer agent from the Coldwell Banker office in Longmont. I discovered this by Googling her — she didn’t tell me. I said this would not work for me, and we ended the conversation.

I expect to receive a follow-up call from the program’s “concierge” who will likely try to match me up with another agent. I’ll probe for additional details.

Having begun my real estate career at Coldwell Banker, I have some insights on the company and its parent company, Realogy. This program is administered by Realogy’s relocation business called Cartus. I suspect that the “pre-screened” agents are the same ones who get relocation leads, and I half– expected to be connected with an agent from CB’s Lakewood office who does indeed work Golden and Arvada and would recognize me as a fellow Realtor.

As I learn more about this program, I will share it with you on our blog, at

www.GoldenREblog.com.

One thing I already know: everyone is in it for money. The 2.8% buyer commission will now have to be split between Amazon, Cartus, Ojo Labs (the coordinator) and Coldwell Banker or other partner brokerage, leaving less than ever for the agent who gets the lead.

Experienced agents might not participate given how little is left for the agent.

Although Golden Real Estate is not part of this program, we offer other advantages to using us, including free moving using our own trucks, laborers, moving boxes and packing material, such as bubble wrap.

The HUD count occurs every year in January and requires communities to determine the number of individuals living shelters in the area.

Volunteers will visit specified areas in the county to conduct five-minute surveys with individuals experiencing homelessness. Surveying will run from Aug. 19 through 23, with individuals traveling in groups of other volunteers and law enforcement personnel, the webpage said.

The county plans to hold an hourlong training session for each community prior to the survey week. The county has not yet decided the date and location for all sessions but intends to inform volunteers of the information through email, Arvada Section 8 Supervisor Carrie Espinosa said.

Surveying has been divided into morning and afternoon shifts. For more information on volunteering or on the Comprehensive Homeless Count, contact Espinosa at 720.898.7475 or caespinosa@arvada.org.

I met a girl the other day who said she recognized me from a vegetarian club, but I’ve never met herbivore.

When E.T. finally made it back home, his mother said, “Where on Earth have you been?” Isn’t that just like a mother?

My mother once ordered 2,000 pounds of Chinese soup. It was won ton.

I couldn’t remember how to throw a boomerang, but eventually it came back to me.

When we met, I told Jennifer, “I’m no photographer, but I can picture us together.”

I told her, “I was once caught stealing a calendar. I got twelve months.”

A friend of mine is a mathemati-

cian. Ironically, he’s afraid of negative numbers, and he will stop at nothing to avoid them.

I wrote something for the stage about puns. It’s a play on words.

I just found out I’m colorblind. The news came out of the purple.

I went to see the doctor because I thought I was invisible. The nurse came out and told me, “The doctor can’t see you know.”

On the way out of the clinic, I heard two doctors joking about sutures.

They had each other in stitches.

I know sign language. Sometimes it comes in pretty handy.

Arthur Baer said, “It was so quiet, you could hear a pun drop.”

h, August 1st. That little turn of the calendar brings out so many emotions.

Sports fans recognize the dawning of a new football season, and the (in some places far from here) pennant chase part of the baseball season.

HITTING Outdoorsy people HOME recognize the shortening of the days as the beautiful season of autumn approaches.

Car people can’t wait for the new model year to show itself. All the teachers in the community are just opening up their Michael Alcorn “welcome back” letters, as parents are preparing their end-of-summer celebrations and children are starting to work out their early excuses to be sick.

But, somewhere in this mix, are also students furiously digging through their homework packets from last May, trying to figure out what they should have been doing to prepare for their Advanced Placement (AP) courses for this year.

Why? Because they’ve been told and

sold the belief that AP classes will get them into the best schools and get them college credits and make them stand out from their peers.

And then I see this: a parent in North Carolina is taking her child on a tour of Duke University, widely considered a “Top School,” perhaps just below the Ivy League. The presentation starts with an admissions director, who tells the parent group, “Please don’t take every AP class your school offers. That won’t help you get in Duke. Make sure you participate in music at your school, or play a sport, or show leadership. We want wellrounded human beings here.”

This seems like it should be a nobrainer, but we’ve lost it along the way somewhere. I took AP classes — two of them. I even earned partial college credit, which, it turns out, made exactly zero difference in my college career.

And, there are cases where taking AP seems obvious: if you want to be in AP Calculus as a senior, you pretty much have to be in the advanced placement classes all along the way in math. But, there are now schools who offer more than 20 AP classes for their students to take, starting as early as the freshman year.

Young child’s mouth is sealed shut. “Let’s eat some salsa you helped chop up! Yummy!” Magically the mouth may open up with a smile.

Not convinced? Give salsa a whirl.

Sometimes when families are encouraging small children to eat fruits and vegetables amiably we need a new approach. There are three nutritionists’ suggestions to follow: make the pieces small, thick salsa style; include children in the preparation; omit the spice or onions in the salsa.

Think about that: you’re a 14-year old taking a class that has implications for the rest of your life. Sometimes, two or three such classes. At some schools, the Freshman level AP classes are considered the hardest classes in the school.

Hey, I think I have an idea why so many kids have clinical anxiety!

And, even if you do great as a freshman, get a good score on the test, have it count in whatever way it counts towards college credits … will it really help you in college? Will *anything* you did as a 14-year old stay in your brain long enough to be useful in college? Or, God forbid, the “real world?”

With the exception I noted above, there is not a single AP class that your kid won’t be able to take as an 18-year old — once they’ve figured a few things out — if they miss a few extra APs along the way.

Instead, encourage them to sing, or act, or play sports, or do student government. They’ll learn more about themselves there, so they’ll make smarter choices as an 18-year old, and — at the same time — make themselves more attractive to great schools, if that’s the direction they go in.

If you have time, make some cinnamon tortilla chips in the oven. Set the oven at 375 degrees. Butter the tortillas and sprinkle lightly with cinnamon and sugar. Place on a cookie sheet and use a pizza cutter to cut into triangles or squares. Bake in the oven for about 8 minutes or until they are light brown. When cooled, children can spoon salsa onto the chips.

If you need a rainy day activity, turn the salsa making into a cooking show by recording on your phone.

Not So Spicy Vegetable salsa is a little trickier because young children may not like the texture or taste of vegetables yet, but it is worth a try. Start with very small tender zucchini, black beans, cooked corn, shaved carrots cut into tiny squares, and tiny pieces of chopped lettuce. Add a little salt and eat with toast or homemade tortillas with no cinnamon. If the vegetables need to be a bit softer sprinkle with water and put the mixture in the microwave for a few seconds. Tomatoes, onions, and peppers are often a problem so that probably knocks out tomato salsa for a while.

Kate Armstrong, an urban forager, teaches classes on identifying wild edible and medicinal plants.

PHOTOS BY DAVID GILBERT

The chew yonder Edible and medicinal plants can be found growing around metro area

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

ost people would look at a backyard filled with weeds and see a problem. Kate Armstrong sees a feast.

Armstrong is an urban forager — someone versed in wild edible and medicinal plants of the urban environment. She leads nature walks and seminars that teach people a new way to look at the plants in their midst.

“People are astonished when they find out how much food is all around us,” Armstrong said. “Nature isn’t here to hurt us, it’s here to give us everything we need.”

Indeed, in the course of a short stroll through a Lakewood back yard, Armstrong pointed out dozens of plants growing in sidewalk cracks or along fences with uses ranging from salad greens to treating toothache.

There are very few toxic plants in our region, Armstrong said. Most plants are technically edible, it’s just that most don’t taste very good.

For novice foragers, though, Armstrong recommends a few

Purslane, a common garden weed, tastes great in stir-fries. highly common — and highly tasty — plants that abound throughout the Denver area.

There’s purslane, a low-growing weed with thick leaves and meaty stems, which can be eaten raw in a salad, fried in stir-fry, used as a soup thickener, or pickled.

Also abundant is mallow, a roundleafed weed that also makes a good snack when eaten raw, but also provides chewy seedpods that Armstrong calls “cheeses.” The stems can be roasted and eaten like pretzel sticks, she said, and the bigger leaves can be used as mini-serving trays for hors d’oeuvres.

Lamb’s quarter grows in moist, disturbed soil, and produces leaves with a mild, lettuce-like taste. A single lamb’s quarter plant can provide months of salad greens by snipping off tender young leaves, Armstrong said.

Dandelion greens are best eaten raw, Armstrong said, and are excellent for detoxing the body.

Even bindweed, the bane of so many gardeners and lawn lovers, produces tiny white flowers with a deli-

Bindweed flowers have a delicate floral taste. cate, floral taste that make an elegant garnish in a salad, Armstrong said.

Only a couple plants common in our region are poisonous, Armstrong said. One is hemlock, which grows in moist soil and produces spindly, wispy leaves that are hard to tell apart from carrot tops. The other is death camas, which looks similar to wild onion or wild garlic, but doesn’t have their characteristic savory odor.

A more common problem, Armstrong said, is herbicides and pesticides. Urban foragers should try to ensure that the place they’re gathering from hasn’t been sprayed to keep weeds and bugs down, she said.

That’s easy in your own back yard, but when foraging along roadsides or other wilder places, a key is to watch out for areas with monocultures — where only one type of plant is abundant. That’s often a sign that sprays are in use.

The safest bet, Armstrong said, is to let your own yard go wild, which will also help it become a haven for pollinators and other wildlife.

ummer winding down means a lot of things, including the starting of schools for children and faint glints of autumn starting to spring up. And for stages all over the metro area, it means it’s time to get ready for a new season.

The Arvada Center, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., and Town Hall Arts Center, 2450 West Main St. in Littleton, are among the first, kicking off COMING their seasons ATTRACTIONS on Friday, Sept.

6, followed by Lone Tree Arts Center, 10075 Commons St., which starts on Friday, Sept. 13.

The next week the Lakewood Cultural Center, 470 S. AlClarke Reader lison Parkway, and the Parker Arts Center, 20000 Pikes Peak Ave., kick off their seasons on Friday, Sept. 27. Golden’s Miners Alley Playhouse, 1224 Washington Ave. comes online on Friday, Jan. 24.

With all these cultural institutions rolling out their line-ups, metro area audiences are going to be swimming in high quality ways to spend an evening.

For music lovers there are options in all manner of genres - the Lone Tree Arts Center will be hosting “Night in Memphis: Presley, Perkins, Lewis, and Cash” in October, while jazz fans will find a bevy of choices, including The Lao Tizer Quartet featuring Nelson Rangell in April at the Lakewood Cultural Center.

The line-ups of local stages reveal a treasure-trove of classic and contemporary works.

For example, Miners Alley will stage a production of Arthur Miller’s masterwork, “The Crucible” in June, the Town Hall Arts Center will be hosting “Little Shop of Horrors” and the Arvada Center will be producing the Bard’s “A Midsummer’s Nights Dream.”

(LAST SHOW!) Zoppè Family Circus Performance Zoppe Circus Tent

By Sally Griffin In its founding years, the Wheat Ridge area was known locally for, of course, ridges of wheat. The wheat farms supplied grain to the many mining camps located just west of us. Later, Wheat Ridge became known nationally as the “Carnation City.” Carnations need ample sunlight in order to grow well. Wheat Ridge supplied that in abundance and became the chosen location for the greenhouses growing the flowers.

In the 1960s the city had 32 different carnation growers and sent flowers to the White House every Monday morning. The bouquet was then displayed in the front foyer with card a indicating it was a gift from Wheat Ridge, Colorado, the Carnation City. As a child, I remember the wonderful cinnamon scent of some of the carnations grown in Wheat Ridge.

The city of Wheat Ridge was incorporated officially in 1969. On the first anniversary of that incorporation, the designation as Carnation City encouraged local groups to organize a celebration, which was intended to honor the agricultural aspects of the city’s history, highlighting the growing of carnations. Thus, the yearly event, the Carnation Festival, was born. The parade associated with the festival once featured floats decorated almost entirely with carnations from local growers. The greenhouses are now gone, (The last carnation grower phased out their operation in 2008), but this connection to the past remains.

The Wheat Ridge Carnival Festival is nearing the halfcentury mark. The event has changed and grown but remains volunteer-based and family-friendly. The festival is a long-time supporter of local nonprofits, service clubs, and student and senior organizations. After the costs of the festival are paid, monies go to these local entities.

One of the longest running festivals in Colorado, the Wheat Ridge Carnival Festival is a wonderful mix of traditional county fair and modern beer and music festivals delivered over three days to as many as 30,000 visitors. According to organizers, “Every August in Wheat Ridge, there is a community shindig for a few thousand of the city’s closest friends.” The festival was previously held at a several different sites until finding its present home at Anderson Park. 4355 Field St. The first Carnation Festival was held on the grounds of Wheat Ridge Junior High School (now Stevens Elementary).

The school and the nearby Grange Hall were the location of the Flower Show, the Hobby Show, vendor booths, and the Pancake Supper. Events on Thursday night included the Talent Show, Square Dancing and the crowning of Carnation Queen. Friday had events like the Pet Show, the Kiddie & Pet Parade, and the Afghan Hound Racing demonstration.

Friday night ended with a concert and dancing. Saturday morning opened with the parade and its carnation floats.

The day continued with a Westernaires Show, Firemen’s Competition, Pancake Supper and awards presentation.

It ended with music and other entertainment lasting until midnight.

Over the last 49 years, there have been many changes: from the types of events, the variety of entertainment, the parade participants, and the various locations in the city.

It has featured lots of dancing, including the Red Boots Folk Ensemble, Fiesta Alegre Spanish and Mexican Dancers, Polish Youth Club Dancers and the Bailesartes Mexican Dancers among others. The festival has gone from a threeday event to a two-day event and back to a three-day event.

At one point, they even tried calling it by a different name but the intent remains: to be a family-friendly celebration that brings the community together.

One thing has stayed the same every year: kids and their parents eagerly gather around 38th Avenue looking for their favorite spot to see the parade. (The parade remains on 38th Avenue, after a short hiatus on 44th Avenue.) From 9 a.m. to noon parade entries come from community groups, service groups, community-building organizations, local Boy and Girl Scout troops, Wheat Ridge-based businesses, churches, special-interest groups and others wanting to celebrate their hometown: Wheat Ridge.

Individuals who have made significant contributions or had an impact in Wheat Ridge are recognized as the Carnation Festival Grand Marshal, Count, and Countess. These three individuals lead the parade, then decide the parade winners for each category. The first Carnation Queen was Jacque Ferguson. The first Count and Countess were Gary Wardle and Barbara Davis.

The directors of the first festival were Zebulon M. Pike Jr., William R. Cornelison, Frank Stites, Marie Engelman, and John Harper. For a few years, the Festival was run by the Wheat Ridge Chamber of Commerce, then turned over to an all-volunteer board. Today the Wheat Ridge Carnation operates as a 501(c)(3) with a non-profit board of directors.

The current board includes Festival Chair Joe Demott, ViceChair Walt Petit, Dave Petit, Chris Miller, Ruth Baranowski, Cyndy Beal, Rob Benson, Tim Berland, Dominick Breton, Leah Dozeman, Theresa Joyce, Joe Seehusen, Emily Smith and Renee Schreiner.

According to the Carnation Festival website, “Like the City, the Festival has seen its fair share of hiccups, disasters, rain-outs and tragedy, but it has never stopped growing. It has never stopped trying to be the best it can possibly be and it has never stopped being what it is – The Wheat Ridge Carnation Festival.”

What a fitting celebration of the city and the lovely flower that was immortalized in a charming poem by Theodore Roethke. This is an excerpt from the poem, “Carnations”: Pale blossoms, each balanced on a single jointed stem, The leaves curled back in elaborate Corinthian scrolls…

Like…The windless perpetual morning above a September cloud.

Car Show Comes Roaring Back, August 11, 9am-3pm

Classic car owners and enthusiasts are tuning up for the 2019 Wheat Ridge Carnation Festival because this year the Wheat Ridge High School Farmers Football program and the WR Quarterback Club are partnering with the Carnation Festival for the second time to present the “Big Wheels on the Farm” car show fundraiser.

The beautiful vehicles will roll in (loudly) on Sunday, August 11th, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Anderson Park (44th and Field St.). The display will showcase decades worth of American muscle, hotrods, exotics, classics and vintage vehicles--all parked in the grassy area in the heart of festivities, surrounded by food trucks, vendors, the main stage and more. It’s a perfect combination for a day of family fun, while helping raise money for the high school football team. (Registration fees support the program.)

There will be plenty to gawk over during contests among the different car classifications. To maintain the festival’s community spirit, the judging will be done by Wheat Ridge Community Service members. Custom-made trophies will be awarded in multiple categories including one for each car class, and a Best of Show award.

Whatever the classic/vintage car type, this show is sure to have a category for it. This year’s categories are*: 1. Low-Rider 2. Pre-war (1940 and older) hot rod 3. Post-war (1941 – 1972) hot rod 4. Contemporary (72 and newer) 5. Stock Original (all years) 6. Best of Show 7. Motorcycle Do you have a specialty car that you would like to show off at the expanded car show this year? Entries are still open. Please complete the form on the Wheat Ridge Carnation Festival website (thecarnationfestival.com) to submit. After registering and paying, the Big Wheels on the Farm committee will contact you with more details. The $30 registration fee is non-refundable. The first 50 cars pre-registered will receive a dash placard and guaranteed grass area parking.

Wheat Ridge High School Football prides itself in giving back to the community and looks forward to the community enjoying extraordinary cars at the Big Wheels on the Farm car show.

Zoppé Family Circus will perform during the annual Carnation Festival under their Big Top Veneto. (Veneto is what this sixth generation of the Zoppé Circus -Family christened their big-top tent, in honor of the Italian town from which .the family hails.)

The Carnation Festival will be presented in Anderson Park, 44th & Field, nwith Zoppé Circus performances Friday, Aug. 10, at 4 and 7 p.m.; Saturday, Aug. 11, at 1, 4 and 7 p.m.; and Sunday, Aug. 12, at 1 and 4 p.m. On Saturday the circus will be preceded by a parade along 38th Ave. from Ames Street to rUpham Street beginning at 9:30 a.m. n A favorite among Carnation Festival-goers, Zoppé Circus is celebrating the 9177th year its family-run extravaganza. There are 10 blood relatives of the ,Zoppé family among the 54 individuals who make up the company coming lto Wheat Ridge. , “We are the classic circus in America today,” said Giovanni Zoppé, who runs the thrilling show. “We’re a complete circus, but we are what a circus was in the 1800s. That includes the costumes, music, and style of show. rEverything we do takes you back to the 1800s.”

- Zoppé likens the circus to Christmas. Just as Christmas comes every year, with different presents under the tree, the Zoppé Circus also comes every eyear and brings different acts. Zoppé says this will be the freshest show sthey’ve performed in the past 10 years.

Among the new acts is a bareback-riding performance by Zoppé’s sister Tosca, who has been an amazing bareback rider since she was young. ,She will re-create their father’s classic bareback riding act. Another new act dfeatures four-to-five horses abreast, with a human pyramid of six-to-eight people atop them. o The circus will also introduce an act this year that features a bicyclist riding naround a large bowl-shaped apparatus. The equipment is 15 feet at the top .and 10 feet at the bottom. As the bicyclist rides, the bowl goes up about 35 feet and continues to move. The “bowl” has a large hole in the middle of the ,bottom. Zoppé explains that this riveting act, which is 120 years old, has not ,been performed in at least 65 years. He felt it was time to introduce the act hto modern-day circus-goers.

Admission to the general Carnation Festival is free, as is entry to a variety ,of concerts. Tickets for each circus performance are $18 for general admis,sion (bleacher seating), $30 for VIP (chair seating) and free for children two tand under. The shows sell out quickly, so it’s a good idea to purchase your tickets before August 8.

Shuttle Stop

Chili, Spaghetti, Wine, Beer & Pie Oh My! Food choices will abound at the 50th Wheat Ridge Carnation Festival. In addition to the vendors on the festival grounds, there will be food events and tents for the whole family to enjoy.

A traditional Spaghetti Dinner will be served both nights, August 9th and 10th. The dinner is the longest-lived event of the festival and is so big that it has its own tent. It will be served 4–8 pm in the food court area, which is near the Beer Garden, so the two most popular food treats will be next to each other. (If you have any German heritage, you know that beer is considered a food for adults and is almost as necessary as bread.) The dinner benefits the Colorado Professional Firefighters Foundation, and two dozen volunteers from West Metro Fire Rescue will work in shifts to feed the crowds.

The Beer Garden, despite the name, will not be limited to beer and will offer a wide variety of beverages for the entire family. There are two locations: one near the Main Stage and one in the center of the Food Court. Beer (aka liquid bread) and wine will be available. The Wheat Ridge Rotary Club has teamed up with Budweiser and Breckenridge Brewery to offer a great selection. Craft beers and wine will be available for $6 each, with Bud and Bud Lite for $5. Water and soft drinks will be available for $1 each. This is the only major fundraising event for the Rotary Club each year. Funds raised at the festival will remain in the community by way of scholarships and funds for local non-profit organizations.

On August 10th the 10th annual Chili Cook-off will be held in the spaghetti din-

ner tent from 12-3pm. If you have never been to a chili cook-off, you are in for a tasty and heated treat. There will be trophies and prizes for the top three cooks in both the red and the green categories, with one overall People’s Choice prize.

Public tasting is five dollars ($5). Children younger than six are free. This charity event is sponsored by Wheat Ridge Poultry and tasting fees will benefit the Wheat Ridge Community Foundation.

Another great Wheat Ridge tradition is the Pancake Breakfast held on Saturday morning before the Carnation Festival parade. The breakfast, 7-9 am, includes ham, eggs, pancakes, coffee and juice. There is no cost but a $6 donation per person is always welcome and greatly appreciated. The breakfast is a chance to meet and greet neighbors at the Wheat Ridge Grange Hall. It is also the perfect time to view a fine historical building while filling up on carbs that will sustain you throughout the parade. Funds raised from the breakfast will help the Wheat Ridge Grange continue the exceptional work that it does with youth in the community.

To polish off the day, check out the 2nd annual Pie Contest. Last year, competitors ranged from 16 to 90 years of age and all the pies were sweet/fruit pies. This year, there will be two categories: sweet and savory, and extra judges have been invited to participate. To compete for the blue ribbon go to www.thecarnationfestival.com/events-entertainment/specialtyfood for application and instructions.

Bring pies to the food court main tent on Friday, August 9th from 3-4 pm. The public is invited to bid on the pies after the judging is complete.

Carnival and Fireworks Bigger and Better for 50th Anniversary This year’s Carnation Festival carnival, August 9-11, will spread across the south side of newly renovated Anderson Park, 4355 Field St., and will have more carnival games and rides than ever. Of course, there will be endless concessions, with funnel cakes, corn dogs, cotton candy and other classic carnival foods.

Carnival rides vary from $1 to $5, but an unlimited daily pass is available for $20. Parents always enjoy watching children rush onto a ride and climb off laughing. If the next words they hear are “Can we go again? Please, please?”, purchasing a wristband allowing a day of endless rides might be a great choice.

A variety of new carnival rides will be offered this year. Volunteers from Family Tree and board members of the Lutheran Hospital & Foundation will provide and run free bouncy castles. (Donations gladly accepted!) Local food vendors – many repeat favor-

ites – will return.

The fireworks show will be bigger and better in celebration of the 50th anniversary. On both Friday and Saturday night at 9:15 p.m., two graduates of Wheat Ridge High School will orchestrate the amazing show. Two days before the festival, Steve Shriber

and Jeff Hendricks of Firestorm Pyrotechnics will bring the fireworks over Loveland Pass. (because a semi-truck full of fireworks isn’t allowed through the tunnel.) When Shriber was growing up in Wheat Ridge, he loved every fireworks show. Eventually, he began saving his money and driving to Wyoming to buy fireworks – a lot of fireworks. He then returned to Wheat Ridge and sold fireworks to his friends.

After years in school and in the aerospace industry, Shriber and Hendricks began Firestorm Pyrotechnics in Springville, Utah. Firestorm Pyrotechnics produces choreographed shows combining music and fireworks. The timing and matching of music and multifaceted fireworks displays are what draws the ooohs and aaahs at every show.

So be sure to come and enjoy the food, fun, and fireworks at the 50th Wheat Ridge Carnation Festival!

Carnation Festival Royalty 2019

By Cyndy Beal Every summer the Wheat Ridge Carnation Festival chooses a royal court of three to honor those in the community who have made a positive contribution through their participation or service in the city.

Courtly duties include riding in the parade on Saturday morning, festival award presentations Saturday evening, and wearing a sash with personal pizzazz, among others.

The 2019 Royal Court (drum roll): Countess – Diane Robb Count – Jeff Gomez Grand Marshal – Joe DeMott

Countess – Diane Robb

Diane Robb is the Wheat Ridge Cultural Commission chairwoman.

The cultural commission promotes arts in many areas through education, events and programs in Wheat Ridge.

She has led and been the face of the cultural commission for nine years.

Robb is an active member in the community and in her church. She is the chair of the annual gala for the Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic STEM School.

She grew up in Colorado after her family moved to Boulder from Minnesota when she was a small child. She graduated from Boulder High School, where she met her husband, Kevin.

They have been married 44 years and have one daughter.

She is the co-managing partner for Kevin Robb Studios.

Kevin’s contemporary metal sculpture is nationally and internationally recognized.

She has a bachelor’s degree in Business from Regis University and a Masters of Healthcare Systems from the University of Denver.

“I am extremely honored,” she said.

Count – Jeff Gomez

Jeff Gomez, former principal of Everitt Middle School, retired this year after eight years of service.

He worked in the Jefferson County School District for 31 years as a teacher, a principal in Wheat Ridge, and in the district’s human resources department. He is a North Denver native and graduated from North High School.

He entered college as a working student, with a family to support. After graduating from Metropolitan State College with a Bachelor’s degree in elementary education, his first teaching job in 1988 was at Stevens Elementary, teaching fifth and six grades.

He has a Master’s in Educational Leadership from the University of Northern Colorado and has been the principal at Peak (formerly Pennington) and Wilmore-Davis Elementary Schools.

He has three daughters and two grandsons.

“I want to thank everyone in Wheat Ridge for the opportunities I’ve been given, and the experiences in Wheat Ridge schools,” he said.

Local Artists will Shine at the Art League Fine Art Show The Wheat Ridge Art League Fine Art Show will be on display during the Carnation Festival in the newly remodeled Anderson Building at Anderson Park, 4355 Field St. Friday, Aug. 9, 4-9 p.m.; Saturday, Aug. 10, noon-9 p.m.; and Sunday, Aug. 11, noon-4 p.m.

Thirty-three members of the Wheat Ridge Art League will be exhibiting their best pieces. It’s all there this year-watercolors, oils, pastels, charcoal and pencil--and many, though not all, works of art will be for sale at affordable prices that make it easy for a beginning collector to acquire their first piece, and hard for a seasoned connoisseur to resist another purchase.

“The show this year will be bigger than ever--a great way to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Carnation Festival!,” said Theresa Joyce, Chairwoman of the Art Show.

The art show is not a juried event but rather a membersonly show. The Art League, organized in 1974 and now in its 45th year, has more than 40 members, most hailing from Jefferson County. Artists pay a nominal $30 annual membership fee and together contribute to fulfilling the purpose of the league, “To pursue the study of the arts, to encourage originality, and to provide members with the opportunity to obtain public recognition.”

The league offers its members a visiting artist demonstration during monthly meetings, in addition to other work-

shops and, of course, the Carnation exhibition.

The Wheat Ridge Carnation Festival serves as the league’s exclusive art show. Throughout the year, member artists may be on exhibit at any one of the seven regular exhibit spaces around Wheat Ridge, Arvada, and the Highlands, including the Arvada Motor Vehicle Department at 6510 Wadsworth and the Wheat Ridge Municipal Building, 7500 W. 29th Ave. The league has commissioned local artist Doug Dawson to judge and present awards to members for their show submissions, from Best in Show to Honorable Mentions, fulfilling the league’s mission to offer its artists, from amateur to professional, the opportunity to earn recognition for their creativity. The public is invited to vote for the “People’s Choice Award” by filling out a ballot after viewing the exhibition.

The Carnation Festival Art League Fine Art Show offers the public the opportunity to experience art and interact with local artists on an intimate level, underscoring the value to the public in obtaining their own original artwork. The League meets at the Wheat Ridge Grange, 3850 High Court on the second Tuesday of each month, lower level, 6:45pm.

Potential new members are encouraged to attend.

Student Garden Bench auction will benefit Wheat Ridge Art Programs The Student Garden Art Bench auction will again be part of the The Wheat Ridge Carnation Festival, August 9-11 in the newly renovated Anderson Park, 4355 Field St. The benches were built and designed by the Career Explore Construction Pathways class at Wheat Ridge High School under the instruction of Jane Johnson. The benches are special in their own right, but Wheat Ridge schools notch them up to the next level. After being coated with a layer of protective paint, the benches are painted by art department students in the Wheat Ridge area.

Volunteers will transport the benches to the festival grounds on Thursday afternoon, arrange them for display and set up bidding sheets. The benches will be displayed in the large tent to the west of the circus tent.

The silent auction bidding will be open on Friday, August 9, 5-8 p.m, and continue Saturday, August 10, noon-11pm.

Winners will be notified on Sunday morning and can pick up their benches any time that day. Proceeds from the auction will benefit the art programs in Wheat Ridge schools.

Grand Marshal – Joseph DeMott

Joe DeMott is a Wheat Ridge native.

He has spent nearly all of his life dedicated to serving the community. Be it either through the city’s needs for pizza at Pietra’s or as a City Council member and hard-working volunteer, he has dished and delivered, serving the small Denver suburb.

DeMott is a Wheat Ridge High School graduate. While in high school, his work career started at 15, working in the family business, Pietra’s Pizza. His community involvement also began as a teenager.

He was a City Council member from 2009 to 2013.

He has chaired the Wheat Ridge Carnation Festival Board for six years. Under his leadership the festival has kept its traditions alive and expanded.

He is president of the Wheat Ridge Business District and chair of the Chamber of Commerce. He and his wife Bernadette and their son and daughter call Wheat Ridge home.

“I’m just very grateful to be the Grand Marshal for the 50th anniversary. It is quite the honor,” he said.

Grand Parade Celebrates The 50th Anniversary of the Wheat Ridge and the Carnation Festival “Everybody loves a parade” and there have been many beloved and famous parades to celebrate in U.S. history. The top four include the first St. Patrick’s Day parade in 1762, the first Mardi Gras Parade in 1856, the first Tournament of Roses Parade in 1890 and the inaugural Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in 1924.

First held in 1969 to commemorate the year of our city’s founding, the theme for this year is both the 50th anniversary of the City of Wheat Ridge and the 50th Carnation Festival.

Chaired by District IV City Councilmember Leah Dozeman, the parade functions as one of the most visible ways the city honors service groups; local schools and businesses; the fire and police departments; state and national politicians and political candidates; church groups, and hobby clubs, including those focused on autos, horseback riding, biking, walking, martial arts, cheerleading and dance.

New this year, Wheat Ridge’s first police cruiser, recently restored by Seyfer Automotive, and “Goats on a Float,” courtesy of Five Fridges Farm--sure to be a crowd pleaser.

The parade also honors distinguished residents by selecting a Grand Marshal, Count and Countess, who serve as royalty and ride in the parade. (See Royalty article to read about this year’s court.) Guy Nahmiach and Optimist Ron Benson will be the parade announcers.

Engaging residents in all aspects of the parade is a main goal every year. Community groups and individuals who want to secure one of the 80 maximum spots, need to register at thecarnationfestival.com by Friday, July 26th.

Parade application fees are: $50 for businesses and $150 for politicians and political candidates. A late fee will be charged for applications received after Monday, July 22nd.

On the day of the parade two resident judges will randomly select three attendees from the crowd to help judge the winning entries in the categories of Best Marching Band, Marching Unit, Musical Group, Business, Vehicle and Float, as well as Most Creative and a Community Award.

Commemorative plates, featuring a local artist’s design, will be given to the parade category winners. Parade winners, royalty, the city and the Carnation Festival board will be honored at the Awards Ceremony on Saturday, August 10th.

The parade runs Saturday morning, 9:30-11:30 am and will include fan favorites the Westernaires and the El Jebel Shriners. With staging from Ames to Depew Streets, the parade route continues to Upham Street along West 38th Avenue. Dominick Breton and the Grange board will serve a $7-donation Pancake Breakfast at The Grange, 7-9 am.

Parking is available in front of Wheat Ridge Cyclery, at Stevens Elementary and along the side streets of the parade route. The Festival Board welcomes everyone in the community and surrounding neighborhoods to join in the celebration of Wheat Ridge.
