He received his B.Sc. from the University of Calgary and his Ph.D. Zoology from the University of British Columbia. Anyone's career relies on 'the turn of a friendly card' and for Ken the key event was an accidental landing in the lab of Peter Hochachka that both set him loose on a grand ride for life through the wide-open field of biochemical adap- tation and added a key stabilizer (wife Janet). Since then Ken has studied how animals work at the molecular level exploring metabolic, enzyme and gene adaptations that support survival at environmental extremes. With nearly 600 publications to date his lab has tackled metabolic regulation in many forms ranging from aerobic muscle metabolism in fast-flying insects and fast -swimming squid to anoxia tolerance and antioxidant defense in turtles, fish and marine mol- lusks, from estivation by toads and snails under hot arid conditions to winter hibernation by ground squirrels and bats, and to perhaps his best-known work on whole body freezing survival by Canadian frogs, turtles and insects. Much of his research has followed the creed of “synthetic intuition” and has been unified by the identification of common principles of metabolic control that are used across phylogeny to coordinate strong metabolic rate depression as an energy- saving strategy under harsh environmental conditions. Ken’s research has been enriched by gen- erous mentors, by intriguing collaborators around the world, and by the hard work of more than 150 postdocs, graduate and undergraduate students that have enlivened his lab. Ken has received multiple awards for his research including recently the 2007 Distinguished Alumni Award from the University of Calgary and the 2010 Flavelle medal in biological science from the Royal So- ciety of Canada. Ken Storey est professeur de biochimie et occupe la Chaire en Physiologie moléculaire à l’Uni- versité Carleton. Il a reçu son B. Sc. de l’Université de Calgary et son Ph. D. en zoologie de l’Université de Colombie Britannique. Le hasard fait bien les choses et pour Ken, le premier coup du hasard fut de le faire aboutir au laboratoire de Peter Hochachka. C’est là qu’il a com- mencé la ligne de recherche qu’il a poursuivi toute sa vie dans le large domaine de l’adaptation biochimique et qu’il a trouvé un stabilisateur clé (sa femme Janet). Depuis lors, Ken a étudié le fonctionnement des animaux au niveau moléculaire, explorant des adaptations métaboliques, enzymatiques et génétiques qui permettent la survie dans des environnements extrêmes.

  • My Experience with Education in Canada and Federal Prisons Rod Carter
    My Experience with Education in Canada and Federal Prisons Rod Carter quit high school the first time in May 1964 just before the end of my I second go at Grade 10. I left again in November 1964 on the heels of a two week suspension for fighting at a school dance. During my years in public school, the teachers’ generally commented that I “could do better given my ability”. In high school, the remarks became more psychological as I became more rebellious. My file was littered with statements such as “there has been a change in his attitude”, “he avoids expression of his inner feelings” and “has a hostile attitude toward the adult world”. They were not seeing it wrong! I entered prison in October 1967 hauling a three and a half year sentence. My two uncles and two cousins, who were all Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) officers, had me destined for a life of crime. I spent reception at the Big House – Kingston Penitentiary – and transferred to Collins Bay Penitentiary a few months later to complete my sentence. Early in my sentence, I recognized a thirst for education, both formal and informal. Kierkegaard (2004, p. 124) said, “Freedom is man’s capacity to take a hand in his own development. It is our capacity to mould ourselves, the basic step in achieving inward freedom is ‘choosing one’s self’”. I served cell time reading, working on correspondence courses, listening to one of three radio channels and strumming guitar. During the day, I joined seven other students in the one-classroom school where I worked on my correspondence courses, which included English literature, composition and mathematics.

  • The (Re)Making of the Hobbema Community Cadet Corps Program’
    Îyacisitayin Newoskan Simakanîsîkanisak ‘The (Re)Making of the Hobbema Community Cadet Corps Program’ by Jordan Robert Koch A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Physical Education and Recreation University of Alberta © Jordan Robert Koch, 2015 Abstract In 2005, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) helped launch a unique afterschool program among the four Cree Nations of Maskwacis (formerly Hobbema), Alberta. The program, known as the Hobbema Community Cadet Corps Program (HCCCP), was widely celebrated among politicians, segments of the community, and especially in the mainstream media as an effective tool for ‘gang prevention’; however, a closer look also revealed a more complex set of negotiations occurring at the local level. This multiyear, ethnographic case study draws from a series of open-ended interviews with Maskwacis parents, youths, sports administrators, journalists, and other agents in the community to critically examine the stories behind the making of the HCCCP. Guided by Pierre Bourdieu’s relational sociology, the dissertation argues that, beyond a mere gang intervention program, the HCCCP also provided Maskwacis residents with an important site, and discourse, through which to conceive, negotiate, and, at times, contest their ideas about what it means (and doesn’t mean) to be Maskwacis in the new millennium. The study thus challenges the mainstream media’s singular depiction of Maskwacis residents, and also extends upon a body of sport studies literature that has been generally slow to integrate the diverse voices, experiences, and complex power relations that have shaped the cultural production of Aboriginal sport in distinct communities across Canada.
