Food allergies are perhaps one of the best-known, but also misunderstood, conditions that affect children.
From people who don't think food allergies are that dangerous to people who don't think food allergies are that common, we all still have a lot of work to do about food allergy education.
Food Allergies by the Numbers
Food allergies are common.
It is thought that 5% of children under the age of 5 have food allergies. That number drops to 4% for older teens and adults, but overall, it seems like the prevalence of food allergies has been increasing for 10 to 20 years.
The eight most common types of foods or food allergens that trigger 90% of allergic reactions are eggs, milk, peanuts, tree nuts (like almonds, walnuts, pecans), soy, wheat, crustacean shellfish (like crab, lobster, shrimp), and fish (like bass, flounder, cod), even though it is reported that at least 160 foods can trigger allergic reactions.
Children with food allergies are 2 to 4 times more likely to also have asthma, eczema, and allergic rhinitis (hay fever).
More importantly, it is estimated that severe allergic reactions to foods lead to 30,000 emergency room visits, 2,000 hospitalizations, and 150 deaths each year.
Symptoms of Food Allergies
Immediate signs and symptoms of food allergies, which occur within a few minutes to a few hours of ingesting something to which you are allergic, can include:
- hives
- oral itching or a tingling sensation in the mouth
- swelling of the lips or a swollen tongue
- cough, wheezing, or chest tightness (trouble breathing)
- nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea
- cramping abdominal pain
- low blood pressure (hypotension)
- dizziness or fainting
- excessive tearing
- swelling around the eyes (periorbital edema)
Anaphylaxis symptoms -- which include multiple allergy symptoms, especially trouble breathing and/or reduced blood pressure -- are life-threatening and require immediate medical attention.
Symptoms that are more delayed, occurring hours to days later, may include a rash, cough, abdominal pain, diarrhea, or irritability with food refusal. These delayed food-induced allergy symptoms are likely not caused by the same IgE-mediated mechanisms as immediate symptoms are, though.
Diagnosis of Food Allergies
Since many non-allergic conditions, such as lactose intolerance, celiac disease, or irritable bowel syndrome, can also cause symptoms after you eat certain foods, it is important to get an accurate diagnosis if you think that your child has food allergies.
In addition to not restricting your child's diet unnecessarily if he doesn't have a true food allergy, an accurate diagnosis of food allergies will help to make sure that he avoids the foods to which he really is allergic.
Of course, allergy testing is the best way to help figure out what foods are causing your child's food allergies. This can include skin prick testing or allergen-specific serum IgE allergy blood tests, although both can lead to an over-diagnosis of food allergies, identifying some foods to which your child may not actually be allergic.
Which allergy test should you do? Skin prick testing is probably more accurate, but the allergy blood tests are more widely available -- your pediatrician can order this test at your local lab, which makes them popular.
The gold standard for diagnosing food allergies is the oral food challenge, in which the child is given the food that you think he is allergic to, under close observation, to see if he will have a reaction. It is that threat of a reaction that makes some parents hesitant to want to use this as a method to diagnose their child's food allergies.
Other allergy tests, including intradermal testing and patch testing, are not recommended ways to diagnose food allergies.
Management of Food Allergies
Unfortunately, food allergies are usually managed, not treated.
The mainstay of that management is:
- filing an allergy management plan at school
- strict avoidance of any foods to which your child is allergic
- learning to always read food labels, even if you have previously given the food to your child, and avoid foods with labels that are hard to interpret or that say they "may contain [allergen]" or are "produced in a facility that also uses [allergen]," if your child is allergic to that specific allergen
- redo allergy testing about every year for milk, egg, soy, and wheat allergies, and every 2 to 3 years for peanuts, tree nuts, fish, and crustacean shellfish, which kids are less likely to outgrow
- get the child a medical identification bracelet to help identify that he has food allergies (older kids might get an anaphylaxis wallet card)
- have two doses of an epinephrine auto-injector available at all times (home, school, camp, etc.), such as the EpiPen, EpiPen Jr., Twinject 0.30mg or Twinject 0.15mg auto-injectors
It is also important to work with your child's school or daycare to make sure they know about your child's food allergies, can recognize symptoms of an allergic reaction, can implement your child's allergy management plan, and have a plan to eliminate the foods that trigger the child's allergies from his meals and classroom.
What You Need To Know
Other helpful things to know about food allergies include that:
- Food allergies usually don't cause just a runny nose or congestion.
- Some extensively baked, heat-denatured foods, like milk and eggs, may not trigger an allergy, especially if eaten in small amounts.
- Many studies have shown that 50 to 90% of presumed food allergies aren't really allergies, which makes getting an accurate diagnosis important.
- Get nutritional counseling and be sure that your pediatrician is monitoring your child's growth, especially if he has multiple food allergies, as that can put your child at risk for missing out on important nutrients, like calcium (for those with milk allergies).
- Regularly check the expiration dates on your epinephrine auto-injectors so that you can replace them in time. Also be sure that any new epinephrine injector that you get from the pharmacy isn't set to quickly expire. Ideally, it will be good for at least 6 to 12 months before expiring (the longer the better).
- Surprisingly to many parents, children with soy allergies can usually safely eat soybean oil and those with peanut allergies can eat peanut oils. You still have to avoid cold-pressed, expelled, or extruded oils, though.
- Allergens can be hidden ingredients in many foods, so while it is easy to avoid drinking milk if your child is allergic to milk, it can be harder to know to also avoid the many non-dairy products that contain the milk derivative casein.
- Allergen-specific immunotherapy is not currently recommended to treat food allergies.
A pediatric allergist can be an important part of your child's allergy management team, to help diagnose your child's allergy, help you avoid all of the foods to which he is allergic, and perhaps help you get to the day where you can try an oral food challenge to see if he has outgrown his food allergy.

The current, heated debates over hate speech and pornography were preceded by the equally contentious debates over the "free and open press" in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Thus far little scholarly attention has been focused on the development of the concept of political press freedom even though it is a form of civil liberty that was pioneered in the United States. But the establishment of press liberty had implications that reached far beyond mere free speech. In this groundbreaking work, Robert Martin demonstrates that the history of the "free and open press" is in many ways the story of the emergence and first real expansions of the early American public sphere and civil society itself.
Through a careful analysis of early libel law, the state and federal constitutions, and the Sedition Act crisis Martin shows how the development of constitutionalism and civil liberties were bound up in the discussion of the "free and open press." Finally, this book is a study of early American political thought and democratic theory, as seen through the revealing window provided by press liberty discourse. It speaks to broad audiences concerned with the public square, the history of the book, free press history, contemporary free expression controversies, legal history, and conceptual history.
Robert W. T. Martin is associate professor of government at Hamilton College and author of The Free and Open Press (NYU Press, 2001).
"Robert Martin's The Free and Open Press is conceptual history at its most illuminating. Recognizing that human beings live via ideas that can seem to work together in one context and to be in contradiction in others, Martin shows that many early Americans believed in both a press that would help republican government work and one in which all views could be heard. The lesson they learned—that those goals were often in profound tension—is, soberingly, one that remains true today. If that tension is to be eased, the answers must be found not only in the quantity of our rights but in the quality of our citizens."
"Robert Martin has thrown a brilliant spotlight on the field of press liberty and lit up vast areas of democratic theory and practice once obscured. Looking at the century and a half leading up to the American Revolutionary era, he reminds us how decisively it shaped the vast domain of modern liberty."
"The Free and Open Press ought to be required reading whenever anyone questions the meaning of the Founding Fathers, the framers of the Constitution, or other early American icons of liberty."
"Robert W. T. Martin revitalizes a debate over the status of press rights in eighteenth-century America that had grown tiresome over the past 20 years...all scholars of American political thought and constitutional development should read this book."
"Martin uses a number of fresh quotations and a helpful arranging and packaging of many ideas on a momentous topic."

Over the last ten years, the Lord has moved many to serve children in the world's Orphan Window. From adoptive families, to people going on mission trips, to parachurch ministries facilitating orphan care, to local churches caring for kids, the Orphan Awakening has reached a tipping point.
New entrants into global orphan care thirst for information about the journey ahead. What's the context? What should we expect? How do we move forward?
Those of us who've plumbed the depths of orphan care (i.e., who have made lots of mistakes) have amassed a treasure trove of knowledge. We've done well sharing the great God stories shining atop of our experiences. But we have to get better at sharing more detail about the guts of what we have learned. We need to help each other improve in shrewd.
We've now entered the second decade of this Orphan Awakening, and stand on the brink of a massive second wave storming into the Orphan Window. For you who have entered the Orphan Window and for you who are coming: this is my reconnaissance Report to you.

Nvidia Shield pre-orders start today, shipping in June for $349
Three days earlier than expected
Nvidia is starting orders of its new Android-powered handheld console, Shield, today. After announcing a $349 price tag and June release date earlier this week, the gaming company has decided to move its pre-order date forward from Monday 20th. The handheld can be pre-ordered directly from Nvidia, or from retail partners including Newegg, Gamestop, and Canada Computer — Micro Center will be accepting pre-orders shortly.
Shield will arrive with access to Google Play (and the full suite of Google services), TegraZone, Sonic 4 Episode II THD, Expendable: Rearmed, Hulu Plus, and TwitchTV. Nvidia cites "growing buzz" as the reason for the early launch, but the fresh release date also gives the company a few extra days in the limelight before Microsoft reveals its next-generation Xbox plans on Tuesday 21st May.

Next Sunday, Painter and the Colts face a New Orleans team that is tied for the fourth-fewest interceptions with three.

A "Perfect" Life: Mary Winkler Story
Biblical Epic
By the following evening, when Winkler was arrested on the Alabama coast, the case was a full-blown national spectacle.
America wanted an answer to Matthew Winkler's last question: Why? Why had this mousey woman used a shotgun to terminate a seemingly harmonious marriage to her well-regarded husband?
The college sweethearts seemed to be a loving, Ken-and-Barbie couple. But from the outset, public opinion deemed that he must have done something to deserve itabuse of his wife or the children, a love affair, homosexuality.
Mary Winkler became a presumed victim and Matthew a presumed abuser.
And her clever defense attorneys, Steve Farese and Leslie Ballin, nurtured that image with a carefully controlled story line: a demure, angelic woman pushed until she fought back against a temperamental, perverted, domineering husband.
The shooting, it seemed, was an act of vengeance of biblical proportion.
That narrative prevailed at trial, where Mary Winkler mounted the witness stand and abashedly showed jurors10 of 12 womenthe "slutty" platform shoes and hoochie mama wig that Matthew asked her to wear to bed.
Farese and Ballin steamrolled the prosecutor's doomed attempt to gain a first-degree murder conviction.
Mrs. Winkler, facing a lifetime behind bars, instead was convicted of voluntary manslaughtera kid-gloves verdict that stunned many observers and delighted Farese, Ballin and their client.
On June 8, 2007, Judge Weber McCraw decreed a sentence of 210 days in prison and three years probation. But he allowed 60 of the days to be served in a mental health facility. And since she already served 143 days in jail before making bond, the sentence meant she was would be a free woman after a week in jail and two months in mental health treatment.
The surprising outcome enhanced the Winkler case's reputation as one of the more curious criminal acts since the seminal spectacle, OJ Simpson.
But left dangling were several questions.
For example, when did it become appropriate to use a shotgun as a tool of marital dispute resolution, asks forensic psychologist Dr. Kathy Seifert.
And who will raise the three daughters, the subject of an upcoming court battle between grandparents Dan and Diane Winkler, who have temporary custody, and their daughter-in-law? (On the side, they are suing one another.)
The Winklers have one other question: Where can they go to get their son's good reputation back?

Recently I caught some Internet conversation surrounding the notice of an open house for the Anderson Marching Highlanders. Yeah, that band, which took fourth at the State Fair.
This begins the third year since the consolidation of Anderson's two remaining public high schools. I'm told very few problems involving the students themselves have been reported. School athletic teams proudly wear the Red and Green. And yes, the band struts its stuff in elegant tartan kilts and Scottish plaid.
Some of the online comments, however, remind us that old loyalties die as hard as a Delco battery. Highland grads decry their displacement as eagerly as old Madison Heights loyalists lament the loss of their school to a transplanted crosstown rival. Many have repeated vows never to acknowledge an Anderson High School band in kilts nor accept Indian motif throughout the building at 4610 Madison Ave.
Highland is now a middle school. Madison Heights is gone, almost unrecognizable amid the complete interior reconstruction and exterior refacing emblematic of a brand-new high school. What remains is a monument (none dare call it a tombstone) to the school that was.
It is probably neither unexpected nor surprising that the memories and loyalties accrued in four years of classes and extracurriculars at one's alma mater invoke deep and lasting emotions neither easily forgotten nor forgiven. Change is a constant in an educational process determined to keep up with the times, but it cannot erase the experiences of one's growing-up years.
That experience is not limited to Madison Heights and Highland. The Pendleton-Markleville consolidation some four decades ago was comparably painful. Northside came and went in Muncie, as did Haworth in Kokomo, which was occupied by rival colors some years before MHHS faded into history. Or ask alumni of Summitville, Fairmount, Royerton, Sweetser, Swayzee, Hartford City, Hancock Central, Fortville, Michigan City Elston and Rogers, East Chicago Washington and Roosevelt, and on and on.

Newspaper Office, Daysland Alberta
Postcards from the Past, PC 841
Newspaper articles are a great resource when conducting genealogical and historical research. Not only can newspaper articles be a source of biographical information for a specific person - such as his or her date of birth or death, marital status, or profession - but they can also provide a snapshot of the public opinion of that person at a specific point in time.
It is very easy to search for newspaper articles from The Calgary Herald in Canadian Newsstand (an electronic database available through Calgary Public Library's E-Library). Simply enter the name of the person you are researching into the search box and the database will retrieve relevant full-text articles. Unfortunately newspaper articles published prior to 1988 are not indexed in this database, which means that researchers looking for older articles need to manually scroll through the library's collection microfilmed copies of The Calgary Herald (August 31, 1883 - current) to find relevant articles. However, if you are looking for newspaper articles on a notable person (for example, a sports figure, an artist, a businessperson, etc.) from Calgary or Southern Alberta, I would recommend checking the library's biography clippings files collection.
We are in the process of adding records for the biography clippings files to the library catalogue, so I have had the chance to look through the files to see the wealth of information that can be gleaned about a person from newspaper articles. For instance, did you know that former Prime Minister Richard Bedford Bennett had a sweet-tooth? According to "The Death of A Great Canadian," an article which appeared in the June 28, 1947 edition of The Calgary Herald, Bennett was so fond of candy that "when doctors advised cutting down his consumption of candy, he took to hiding chocolates in drawers, filing cabinets, and behind books on the bookshelves, where conscientious secretaries wouldn't find and confiscate the forbidden sweets." The biography files are also extremely useful when a formal biography has not been written on a person. For example, I wanted to know more about Nelson Skalbania, the man who brought the Flames hockey team to Calgary, but no formal biography has been written about him; I was able to learn more about his business dealings through the articles in his biography file though.
You can search for biography files in the library catalogue by entering the name of the person you are looking for and the phrase PAM FILE i.e. Hansen AND PAM FILE. We have not yet gotten the chance to enter in all of the biography clippings files, so do not worry if you cannot find a file for a well-known person from Calgary or Southern Alberta in the catalogue: we most likely have one! Please come visit us at the Reference Desk on the 4th Floor (Humanities) at the Central Library, we have a master list of biography clippings files that we can check for you. We would love to help you with your questions!
I hope that you take advantage of this great resource; you never know what you could discover about a notable person from the newspaper articles in his/her biography clippings file!
Burns Block, 1964
Alison Jackson Photography Collection, AJ 83-14
The Scottish origins of Calgary's heritage are quite obvious. We have Macleods and Macdougalls and Lougheeds aplenty. Even the name "Calgary" is taken from a Scottish place on the Isle of Mull. What many people don't realize is that Calgary had its Irish contingent as well. Many well known people in Calgary's past have an Irish background and, given that Wednesday is St. Patrick's Day, I'm going to tell you a little about a couple of the notable Irishmen that helped build this city.
The first and probably most famous is Patrick Burns. He was a man of humble origins, born Patrick O'Byrne near Kirkfield Ontario. A note on the census record for a town near Kirkfield in 1851 says that "the Gaelic is the general language spoken, the greater part of the people understand English particularly the young people. In some cases I was forced to hire an interpreter which cost me one pound."
Burns came to Calgary, via Minnedosa Manitoba, in about 1890, when the Calgary-Edmonton Railway was under construction. Pat's friend from his childhood, William McKenzie, had turned to him to provision the railway workers.
He'd only been here a short while before he set up his abattoir east of the Elbow, near Calgary Brewing and Malting. By 1903 he had moved into his beautiful mansion on 13th Avenue SW. By 1911 the Burns Building had been constructed. By 1912, Burns and his buddies had funded the first Calgary Stampede. Pat Burns died in 1937 and left his huge estate in trust to the Burns Memorial Fund, created to help children "reach their full potential."
If you're interested in Pat Burns and his contributions to Calgary, there is an excellent book by Grant MacEwan, Pat Burns: Cattle King available at the Calgary Public Library. You can also view pictures of the many buildings and businesses owned by Pat Burns in our Community Heritage and Family History Digital Library. Just search using the name Burns.
The second Irishman whose efforts helped make the city what it is today is John Glenn. He was born in 1833 in County Mayo, Ireland and rattled around England and the United States before finding his home where Fish Creek met the Bow River. When he settled there in 1875 he became one of the first European settlers in this area. He sold his original farm to Edgar Dewdney, the Indian Commissioner, in 1879 and moved to the south side of Fish Creek near the Macleod Trail crossing. He was one of the first farmers, along with neighbour Sam Livingston, to cultivate a cereal crop in the district. He was also responsible for the first irrigation system on the prairies which he shared with his neighbour Sam Shaw, who also used the irrigation system to operate his woolen mill.
John Glenn contributed the land for the building of St. Paul's Anglican Church near Midnapore. This was in spite of the fact that Glenn was a Catholic. When the Catholics of the area wanted to build a church, it was John Glenn's son, Patrick, who donated the land right beside St. Paul's for the Catholic St. Patrick's Church.
John Glenn was also a pioneer investor. When the CPR was selling lots for the townsite of Calgary in 1883, Glenn was the first to purchase. He built the Frontier Livery Stable, which was then the largest in the city, as well as two other buildings. When he died as the result of an accident in 1886 he left an estate valued at $2600. John Glenn was remembered as a charitable and hospitable man whose name was to be found on many a charitable subscription list in and around Calgary. The Glennfield picnic area in Fish Creek Park is named in memory of John and his wife Adelaide. Information about the Glenn family can be found in the Community Heritage and Family History Collection at the Calgary Public Library by searching the catalogue with the subject "John Glenn Calgary" (so you won't get books about the astronaut). In particular, the DeWinton and area history book From Sodbusting to Subdivision has a lot of information.
There were many, many more Irish folk who came to Calgary and left their mark. These are only two of those notable sons and daughters of Eire. Slainte!
Calgary Public Market, 3rd Street between 3rd and 4th Avenue SE
Postcards from the Past, PC 1375
I was recently asked by the publisher of the East Village View to write an article about the site on which Booker's B.B.Q. is standing. I was happy to do this as the East Village is my second home. I have worked in this neighbourhood for all of my adult life and I love this place. It has changed so much, but there are still stories to be told about the residents and the buildings. The East Village View is our community newsletter and part of its mandate is to bring these stories to the residents. We have copies of the newsletter in the Community Heritage and Family History collection at the Central Library, if you would like to have a look at them.
Writing about the Booker's site allowed me to tell the stories of a bunch of interesting people who made their mark down here. Booker's stands at 316 3 Street SE just across the street from the Cecil Hotel. The current building was built in 1956, following a massive Christmas Eve fire in 1954 that destroyed the original Calgary Public Market building that was on the site.
The Calgary Public Market had been built in 1914 in response to consumer concerns over poor quality and lack of competition. It was a pet project of Annie Gale, who was the first woman "alderperson" in the British Empire. The building to house the market was built in 1915 (see the picture above) and it was immediately filled with vendors. It was a public utility until 1925. Even after that it continued to function as a market. It was purchased in 1946 by Sam Sheinin, who had been manager of the public market and had bought the building as a home for his businesses. He had operated various businesses on the site, Home-Del Foods, Calgary Cold Storage and Sheinin's Live and Dressed Poultry. Sheinin rebuilt and operated his businesses until 1959. By 1960 the Alberta Poultry Marketers Co-Operative had moved in. They operated from the site until 1960.
By 1972 the chickens were out and the "chicks" moved in. The Betty Shop, which seemed to be in every mall in the city when I was growing up, had its warehouse there. The Betty Shop was owned and managed by Lena Hanen. She was the daughter of a Rabbi, the wife of a successful businessman and the mother of Harry Hanen, the man who gave us the +15 system. She was also a very astute businesswoman and, by all accounts, a great boss. By the time of her death in 1979 she employed over 1000 people in 40 stores in Alberta, Saskatchewan and British Columbia.
Lena's family seems to have owned the building until 1985 when the Kingfisher restaurant opened its doors. The Kingfisher was famous for its owner, Sandy Cruikshank, and his "Tuesdays with Webster" discussions. In the late 1990s it changed hands again and became Booker's.
This part of the city has a fascinating heritage, one which I am very proud to be a part of. If you are interested in researching your corner of the city, come down to the Community Heritage and Family History room in the Central Library. We'd be glad to see you.
Kolb's Restaurant (Western Canada's Most Sanitary Building)
Postcards from the Past, PC 987
This year, once again, we were thrilled to be asked to prepare a presentation for Historic Calgary Week. We love to be a part of this great celebration of our city's history for many reasons, not the least of which is the chance we get to use some of our great photo collections to tell stories of the history of the city and province. This year we presented a history of immigration and settlement in Alberta and we included a brief history of postcards in that presentation.
One of the aspects of postcards that we looked at was their use as advertising tools. We picked the one in this entry because we thought it was kind of funny that a restaurant would advertise itself as having the most "sanitary restaurant building." What we didn't know at the time was the fascinating history of the man who owned that restaurant, Eddie Kolb.
Edward William "Eddie" Kolb was born in 1880 in Cincinnati. He was a baseball fanatic but his team, the Cleveland Spiders, was widely acknowledged to be the worst team in baseball (a title they still hold.)
The story goes that the last game of the season, the 2nd game of a doubleheader after a season where they had lost 134 games, a hotel cigar boy named Eddie Kolb was given a shot at pitching for his team in exchange for a box of cigars. He gave up 19 runs. Thus began and ended the major league baseball career of Eddie Kolb.
It didn't dampen his enthusiasm, however, and he continued his involvement in baseball. Eventually, though, Eddie ended up in Calgary and opened a successful restaurant two doors down from the Palace Theatre. He ran this restaurant for 22 years until the Great Depression. Jeffrey Williams, in his book Far From Home: A Memoir of a 20th Century Soldier" tells the rest of the story:
"The staff at Eaton's included several who would not have been there but for the Depression. To me at the time, the most tragic was Mr. Kolb. When I was a small boy, I w as taken to his elegant restaurant for dinner with my mother, but in the 1930s people could no longer afford to eat in places like his and it had closed. Now, in his fifties, he was working as a salesman in the shoe department.
One morning I went into the cafeteria in the basement for coffee. Mr. Kolb was behind the counter, peering into urns, sniffing at Danish pastries and tasting the cream in a dispenser. Here was a different man from the quiet shoe salesman.
Eaton's cafeteria had been losing in popularity to Picardy's across the street and Mr. Swann had asked Kolb to advise. Within a week, a remarkable change had taken place. At the end of the month the cafeteria was making a useful profit and Mr. Kolb was back to the shoe department. I knew that Eaton's were not exploiting him…His salary as a shoe salesman was higher than that of the manageress of the cafeteria. Even if it had not been, I doubt that he could ever have reconciled the clatter and breezy service of the coffee shop with the memory of the crystal-chandeliered restaurant which had once been his" (p. 102)
Mr. Kolb would eventually become involved in the development of the Turner Valley oilfields and became the first secretary of the Alberta Petroleum Association. He died in Calgary in 1949.
The Big Four on the cover of the 1912 Stampede program
The Big Four were the four businessmen/ranchers responsible for funding the dreams of Guy Weadick, who saw the potential for a championship rodeo event and Wild West show in Calgary. He approached four of Calgary's leading ranchers with his proposal. So who were these guys? Each man was an enthusiastic booster of the city of Calgary and each of them was a living example of the possibilities offered by this relatively new part of the country.
Archie McLean was a cattleman who became a politician. He was Provincial Secretary in the Sifton government and would become the Minster of Public Affairs under Premier Charles Stewart. A.E. Cross was the founder of Calgary Brewing and Malting and the owner of the A7 Ranch, which is still one of the largest ranches in the west and is still held by the Cross family. George Lane was the owner of the Bar U ranch, another large and influential ranch and Patrick Burns was the founder of P. Burns and Company, one of the world's largest meat packing companies and the owner of the Bow Valley Ranch. Weadick convinced each of them to put up $25,000 to help realize his dream.
The Stampede was an ingenious idea for promoting the possibilities available out here in the west. It was also an exercise in nostalgia. Although the Big Four were all ranchers of one sort or another, Cross and Burns owed much of their wealth to industry, rather than the pastoral life of the plains. Calgary was becoming a metropolis and the Stampede was a nod to the past, rather than a reflection of the present.
The Community Heritage and Family History collection at the Calgary Public Library holds a great deal of information about the Stampede and the Big Four. The picture used to illustrate this entry is a scan of the cover of the program for the first Stampede. We have a very good collection of these programs. We also have a history of the Bar U ranch (The Bar U and Canadian Ranching History) as well as other ranching related materials. We also have a great collection of the postcards created from Doc Marcel photographs of the first Stampede. You can find them in our Community Heritage and Family History Digital Library by using the search terms stampede 1912.
Flores LaDue, Champion Lady Fancy Roper of the World, 1912
Postcards from the Past, PC 314
Women have always been involved in events at the Calgary Stampede. There have been changes over the years, for example, women do not compete in bronc riding anymore, but there have always been cowgirls in Stampede competition.
By far the best known of the cowgirls, in these parts, anyhow, was Flores (sometimes Florence) La Due who was the Champion Lady Fancy Roper of the World. She was also Mrs. Guy Weadick and was a very important element in the first Calgary Stampede in 1912.
Guy met Florence (whose real name, according to her headstone was Grace Maude Bensel) at a Wild West show in Chicago. They were married in Memphis in 1906 and started a partnership that would last for forty five years. This partnership included Guy's dream of having world championship cowboy competitions in Calgary – a dream that he would promote to four of Calgary's most prominent businessmen as the Calgary Stampede. In 1912 this dream became a reality. Guy's involvement with the Stampede lasted until 1932. After that he and Florence retired to The Stampede (or TS) Ranch which they had purchased in 1920 in Eden Valley. The operated a dude ranch there and when times got tough it was Florence who assisted with the family finances by trading in uncut diamonds. It is also said that she taught their neighbor, the Prince of Wales, how to do fancy roping. When the Weadicks left, to move to Phoenix for Florence's health, the community of High River threw a grand party to see them off. Florence was given a gold wrist watch engraved "To Florence – a real partner" and this is maybe the truth of Florence and Guy. You rarely read an article about Guy without there being a mention of Florence and the important role she played. They seemed to be partners in the fullest sense of the word.
Florence died in 1951 on a visit to High River. She, her father and Guy are all buried in the Highwood Cemetery.
Needless to say, our Community Heritage and Family History collection at the Calgary Public Library has a lot of information relating to the Weadicks and the founding of the Stampede. We are also honoured to present professor Max Foran who will speak about Guy Weadick, the founding of the Stampede and the controversial end of Weadick's association with it. The program will be presented on Friday June 26 at 2:00 PM in the 4th floor meeting room at the Central Library. You can register in person at any library branch, by telephone at 403-260-2620 or online at calgarypubliclibrary.com (click on Programs in the bar at the top of the page).
William Stanley Bates Residence, 734 13th Avenue SW
Alison Jackson Photograph Collection, AJ 1147
I was very lucky to have been able to attend the Historical Society of Alberta Conference at the end of May. One of the speakers there was Nancy Townshend who was talking about her ancestor Colonel James Macleod and his homes. This put me in mind of another architectural subject that she had presented to us at a library program. Her topic that night was Maxwell Bates, an often overlooked Calgary artist and architect. Maxwell Bates was the son of a famous Calgary architect, William Stanley Bates, who was a partner in the firms that designed some of Calgary's early buildings such as the Grain Exchange, the Beveridge Building and the Burns Building.Maxwell was born in Calgary in 1906 and started working for his father's firm when he was eighteen. He attended evening art classes at the Provincial Institute of Art and Technology in the 1920s and then went to England where he worked as an architect and developed his style as a painter. In 1939 he joined the British Territorial Army and in 1941 was captured by the Germans and was sent to a POW camp where he remained until the end of the war. His account of his time in the camp, Wilderness of Days can be found at the Calgary Public Library, both in the Arts collection and the Community Heritage and Family History collection (940.547243 BAT B). Excerpts can be found on the website www.maxwellbates.net, which also contains biographical information, other writings and samples of his designs among other things.
Bates returned to Calgary in 1946 and became an architect, while he continued to pursue his art. His most notable contribution to the Calgary skyline is the beautiful St. Mary's Cathedral, built between 1954 and 1957 and shown in this picture:

If you are interested in Maxwell Bates, there are some excellent resources available at the Calgary Public Library including Ms Townshend's book Maxwell Bates: Canada's Premier Expressionist…(759.11 BAT T). They can be found in the library catalogue using Bates, Maxwell as a subject search. If you are interested in other architects who worked in Calgary, we have an invaluable resource by Marianne Fedori and Lorne Simpson entitled The Practice of Architecture and Construction in Calgary 1900-1940 (720.9712338 PRA – available in the local history room).

Main Street, Pincher Creek, 1908
Postcards from the Past, PC 1485
February is Black History month and it is the perfect time for an examination of the people who settled this lovely province of ours. Because I am a family historian, my focus has always been on the stories of "regular" folks - not the kings and politicians that make up the official record but people like me and you and our families, the real builders of this country.
People of African descent have settled in Alberta since the middle part of the 19th century. Many were escaping slavery or racial discrimination and all were looking for a better life. People like John Ware, a legendary rancher who was born into slavery in South Carolina and whose skills as a cowboy made him famous. Or people like the Lewis family who settled near Calgary and moved into the bustling town to work in the construction trade during one of Calgary's many booms. Or Annie Saunders, a nanny and domestic to Colonel Macleod's family who set herself up in business in Pincher Creek.
Black History month is our chance to celebrate those pioneers and their descendents. Check the Community Heritage and Family History collection for books like John Ware's Cow Country, Blacks in Deep Snow: Black Pioneers in Canada or the magazine Alberta Views which contains a fascinating article on Annie Saunders by local author Cheryl Foggo in the January/February 2009 issue.
The city has lost a great man. Daryl "Doc" Seaman passed away on Sunday January 11, following a long battle with prostate cancer. Doc is probably best remembered as the man who brought the Flames to Calgary in 1980 but he was also a great philanthropist and a great businessman.
He was born in Rouleau Saskatchewan in 1922. He joined the Canadian Air Force during World War II and flew a Hudson bomber in 82 missions in north Africa and Italy. After the war he earned a degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Saskatchewan and with money saved from his wartime salary, Doc and his brothers B.J. and Don started a company that would grow into Bow Valley Industries.
But his lasting legacy can be found in his devotion to his community evidenced by his involvement in causes as diverse as amateur hockey, environmental protection and medical research. In every article written about his passing, mention is made that Doc preferred to keep his philanthropic work low-key and understated.
If you are interested in reading more about this great Calgarian, author Sydney Sharpe has donated copies of her biography of Doc Seaman, Staying in the Game, to the Calgary Public Library (and other libraries in Canada). You can place a hold on the title by following this link.
Pat Burns was named Alberta's Greatest Citizen on Thursday October 16 at a gala event at the Wainwright Hotel at Heritage Park. As part of the Calgary Herald's Greatest Citizen project, which was launched to coincide with the paper's 125th anniversary, readers were asked to nominate and then vote for their choice for our Greatest Citizen. Over 18,000 votes were cast.
Pat Burns is known for many things. Born Patrick O'Byrne in Kirkfield Ontario he was the son of Irish Catholic immigrants. He said he "wrassled in his nightshirt" with William (later to be Sir William) McKenzie. This connection would serve him well. When McKenzie was building his railway west and needed beef in great amounts to feed his workers, he turned to his old Kirkfield buddy, Patrick. By the time he hit Calgary in 1889 Patrick had changed his name to Burns and was well on his way to becoming the millionaire owner of Burns and Co.
Burns built a beautiful home in the Beltline district as a gift to his wife. He was one of the Big Four who established the original Calgary Stampede. He bought the Bow Valley Ranch from William Roper Hull in 1902. He was made a Senator, the appointment announced at a huge city-wide birthday party given for him in 1931, complete with a 3000 pound cake. But Pat Burns is remembered as our greatest citizen not just for his wealth and possessions, but for his philanthropic efforts. As a thank you for the massive birthday celebration, Burns gave a roast to every family who had an unemployed breadwinner. He donated to many causes, believing that success was meaningless unless shared. In his will, Pat Burns set up the Burns Memorial Fund to provide financial support for widows and orphans of police and firefighters and for poor children. The fund continues to provide help and support to families of firefighters and police and to low income children.
Hurray for Pat Burns, our Greatest Citizen!

DALLAS - When you walk into the East Dallas Swiss Avenue office that houses Friends of Wednesday's Child (FWC), the wall of gratitude catches your eye.
"Thank you, thank you for my birthday money! I am going to buy me a bike. Jacqui," reads one letter, written in crayon.
To think there are some children would not get a birthday gift if it wasn't for non-profits like FWC may be mind boggling to some, but it is a reality, according to board member Lee Spiekerman.
"Those very basic and important things are not covered by the government, so Friends of Wednesday's Child closes that gap and that can make a huge difference in a child's life," he said. "There are children who go through eight different foster homes before age 18. Well, they get behind in school and our organization does things like tutoring to help them graduate or buy them school clothes - things a foster family may not be able to pay for."
The non-profit paid for Tyeisha, an adorable girl on the wall who is blind, to get Braille lessons to help her learn to read.
The list of giving goes on. Giving made possible due in large part to private donations that are now drying up.
FWC does not receive federal funds and grants from foundations can't cover everything.
"If Friends of Wednesday's Child were to close its doors, you would have hundreds, perhaps thousands, of foster kids that would not have a lot of the needs met," Spiekerman said. "[Needs] that a lot of kids take for granted."
Spiekerman says despite reducing its staff from four employees to only two workers and cutting programs, like a therapeutic camp for emotionally disturbed foster children, the organization is still in a financial crises.
"We could not meet 400 needs this past year, and we have never been in that predicament of turning down requests in our 28-year history," he said. "When we help the foster children, it is also helping the foster families who are also seeing tough economic times. They just don't get enough money from the state."
The popular Wednesday's Child Golf Tournament swings enough private donations to help, but can't offset the challenges brought on by the economic downturn. The charity needs $300,000 immediately.
"Really in three months, we've got to raise that," Spiekerman said.
A short time frame, but the hope is when viewers watch the News 8 "Wednesday's Child" reports featuring children looking for a forever home, that donations will pour in to help so many innocent faces in unfortunate situations.
You can go to the Wednesday's Child web site to help.
"In these tough times, it's nice to know someone cares enough to help out," another letter on the wall of gratitude reads.
Another letter that could come down if enough money is not raised.

Reviews for Ranch Chicken 'n' Rice
Sort By :
This recipe is fantastic, it's really simple and tastes amazing. The first time and I covered it (I used my deep covered baker and lid), so it didn't cook at ALL once the timer rang.However if leave it uncovered, it really does taste amazing and it cooks in the allotted time. The person that gave it one star must have had a similar problem and didn't know how to fix it (just uncover it and add a bit more milk, cook a bit longer).
I've made this recipe several times, with great reviews from those who ate it. Making it again tomorrow night again only with brown rice this time. Yum!!
This was a wonderful dish, my family really liked it. the person who 1 starred this because it wasn't cooked- I just am having trouble believing this. Any chickent breast will cook at this temp assuming it was thawed, deboned etc. Anyway, sad to see such a great recipe get a low star, for such a thing, since its hardly a typical issue.
My family loved this recipe. I did use instant brown rice so I should have added more liquid but otherwise it had a great flavor.
Cooked for twice as long as it said, still not done - looked done at 50 minutes and so I took a bite of raw chicken. Gross. Threw the whole thing out. Never again.
