  • University of Florida Thesis Or Dissertation Formatting
    CULTURAL AND SOCIAL CORRELATES OF ADULT OVERWEIGHT AND OBESITY IN UPSTATE NEW YORK By STACEY ANN GIROUX A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2012 1 © 2012 Stacey Ann Giroux 2 To Mom and Pop 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Many people supported me not only while I worked on this research but also throughout my time in graduate school. My parents, Don and Chris Giroux, never told me I couldn’t be or do anything, whether as a young child with aspirations as a leaf- picker or as an idealistic twenty-something who believed she could make a difference in the world as an anthropologist. They also provided help, shelter and money at various difficult points during graduate school. For this and more I thank them. My sister, Carolyn Giroux, has provided comic relief and her excellent proofreading skills. James Wells, who was a close friend when I began graduate school and is now my partner of eight-plus years, I thank especially for emotional support. His is a unique soul, and, having gone through the dissertation process himself, he always seemed to know what to say, what not to say, when to push me, and perhaps most importantly, when to simply listen. When I was still an undergraduate at the University of Missouri, Gery Ryan’s medical anthropology class inspired me to switch from archaeology to cultural anthropology almost overnight. Gery is the person I would call my first mentor, and he showed me that it was possible to pursue anthropology as a career, that I had the right stuff for it, and then helped me to do just that.

While playing for the Philadelphia Flyers of the National Hockey League, a lifelong dream in itself, I envisioned unique, dreams of one day starting up a restaurant in my hometown community and maybe even trying my hand at establishing a family farm. Surprisingly, the idea of opening a restaurant came into reach sooner than I expected. personal We initiated a business plan that was developed as an upscale, urban seafood and steakhouse connection restaurant. Since then, the concept has transitioned at every turn and now, with the addition of locally renowned chef Michael Geno, we've been able to add a very special Italian flare, something we felt the area craves. This journey starts long before our grand opening in 2007 from our home and I sincerely desire to share the “cliff notes” of the path which has brought me to this point, a game-changer for my life in so many different ways… to your hearts. Over the last two decades, I've been lucky enough to call hockey, not only my sport, but also my profession.

The new energy is palpable, and the change is unmistakable. From Rome to Amsterdam, from Little Falls to Oneonta; the investments are real. The very thing of which we spoke in the early days of the Regional Economic Devel- opment Councils – true and sustainable economic transformation - is finally happening. TAs urban centers go, nowhere is this more evident than Downtown Utica. Sparked by unprecedented developments now taking shape at the Marcy Nanocenter, Bagg’s Square, Genesee Street Business District and Varick Street Brew- ery District, the knowledge-based ecosystem is maturing. “Advanced manufacturing and the progressive investment strategies behind it have been key to the revitalization of our state and are now shaping its future success…I know what that does to the psychology of a region. Chang- es like this can really change how people see themselves. … No longer will hopes be raised and hopes dashed.” - Lt.
