From veteran hockey reporter Patrick Johnston and Gino’s longtime friend Peter Leech comes the authorized biography of Gino Odjick.In the 1980s and ’90s, National Hockey League games were very different from the nimble, skill-focused displays we see today. One of the greatest differences—and one of the sport’s more popular facets at the time—was the widespread presence of “enforcers”: hulking, battle-scarred players whose main task was to police the sport by chasing down and brawling with opponents who had broken unwritten codes determining which aspects of violence counted as dishonorable or unjustified.When hard-hitting Vancouver Canucks player Gino Odjick emerged in the early 1990s, he quickly became one of the game’s most feared enforcers and revered teammates, a sign of a new era for the team, racking up 296 penalty minutes in the 45 games he played in his rookie season. Hailing from Kitigan Zibi, an Algonquin community near Maniwaki, Quebec, Gino was one of the few Indigenous players in the NHL at the time. But it was Gino’s ferocious play contrasted by his genuinely affable and openhearted personality off the ice that won him a special place in the hearts of Canucks supporters.Yet legends often obscure the human stories behind them. Hockey journalist Patrick Johnston and Peter Leech look beyond Gino’s legendary persona, drawing on insights from family members, friends, and teammates to recount Gino’s early years in a loving household that was always ready to welcome foster children. Gino’s father, Joe, had suffered the lonely traumas of the residential school system, and the experience had instilled a commitment in the family to those who were less fortunate.The book also details Gino’s eventual struggles with alcohol abuse, and how he responded by taking on the role of empathetic mentor to young Indigenous people, travelling from community to community to hear their stories and offer hope. He never wavered in this role, even as he confronted serious illnesses, including chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) and the rare blood disorder that he survived for years longer than expected, but that eventually led to his death at age fifty-two.Gino is a moving tribute to a beloved hockey legend.

Does success in school protect teenagers from drug use? Does drug use impair scholastic success? This book tackles a key issue in adolescent development and health - the education-drug use connection. The authors examine the links and likely causal connections between educational experiences, delinquent behavior, and adolescent use of tobacco, alcohol, marijuana, and cocaine.The book uses data from the University of Michigan's Monitoring the Future project. It focuses on a large and nationally representative sample of 8th grade students in the United States who were initially surveyed in 1991-1993 and then followed over the vitally important developmental period between ages 14 and 22. The volume uses a variety of statistical analysis techniques, and the findings can be understood by individuals with limited, as well as with extensive, backgrounds in research design. The findings convincingly demonstrate that if young people can be successful in school, it can improve a broad range of outcomes in their lives, not the least of which is their ability to resist pressures to use drugs. The book provides: a summary of the findings and conclusions; a review of relevant literature; a detailed discussion of the survey and analysis methods; the academic attainment of those in the longitudinal panel; the delinquent behaviors of panel members as they relate to measures of educational success; and the patterns of initiation, continuation, and cessation for each substance: cigarettes, marijuana, cocaine, and alcohol.This book is intended for anyone who deals with education and/or substance use, including educational, developmental, and social psychologists; sociologists; epidemiologists; educators; and policy makers. The analysis of panel survey data, using a variety of techniques, will also appeal to survey methodologists and students.

When the President of the United States is among the thousands of pro-choice leaders killed in a tragic explosion at a Reproductive Rights Convention, the government begins a long-anticipated campaign to silence opponents of its agenda. Good men like David Jameson are in the cross-hairs. Their intolerance of abortion, physician-assisted suicide, and gay marriage are grounds for prosecution. They are a threat to national security. Preachers and pro-life activists are hunted like terrorists, forced into re-education classes, and persecuted. The federal government's plan to disarm Americans and drastically raise taxes is the last straw for many states like Texas, and they begin to resist. Secessionist fervor begins to rise. Liberals like Mitch Paine lead thousands of anarchists and college students to stand against the "religious totalitarians." Will America ever be "one nation under God" again? Will Americans preserve liberty for their posterity, or is it just a fading dream?Awe-inspiring courage, terrifying tragedy, tender romance, and violent conflict carry the reader through an ageless clash of worldviews, where the superiority of the principles of liberty and the truths of Christianity prevail over a plethora of vicious opponents. About the Author: Patrick Johnston is a family practice physician and a Christian evangelist who dreams of a Christian nation. He is founder of the Association of Pro-Life Physicians and the Coalition to Reform Education Funding, and he is the father of seven home-schooled children and his wife Elizabeth are committed to revival in the church and the restoration of biblical law and constitutional government in America. The Revolt of 2020 is the first novel of a series exploring the tension between liberty, tyranny, and godly resistance.

My first 'book'... was more of a journal, with poems and ideas, from my days as a young man, circa '74 to '86. A kind of 'folder' of personal growth and discovery, set amidst life's ineffable churn. I made it as a means to cope - to make sense of things, when a bizarre event at age 17 had me within neurons of solipsistic nihilism - ouch In that time my world view leapt from 'naive poetic idealist' to 'determined philosophical realist.' Out of necessity, I adopted a stoic skepticism as I sought out an 'affirm-able bedrock' to reality. I came to focus on perception's source and form, and found its essence in the timeless dance of our seeing, being & doing. This in turn led me to draw a workable ontological model, rooted in what I called life's 'all-pervading will to survive'. A motive trait that may have guided life from inception, by holding a natural orientation to space-time. 'Tri-sight' is just utile coinage. What I think it represents may be a key to unlocking a freer will in each of us, if we dare.
