Cornett explained that his motivation for advocating educational reform in the university system began when he recognized a growing pragmaticism among students who were attending university for the sake of getting a good grade, not a good education.“I will never forget one student telling me ‘what I have learned at this university is how to cut corners so I can get an A’” “If that is the goal of education, we have missed the boat.Please keep in mind, that I am a religious studies scholar, so issues of morality and ethics are central to what I do, and I began to ask myself to what extent do we communicate or cultivate a moral, ethical approach to knowledge, if what we are really fostering is how you get an ‘A’ rather than honesty, so this poses some fundamental questions,” says Cornett.In the course of his 15 years of teaching, Cornett explains that there were a number of major articles in student newspapers, and coming from the administration too, on the topic of plagiarism.This he experienced and this put him in a moral and ethical dilemma, “when you know the work you are reading and grading was actually done for another course and you verify with that professor that indeed the student had turned it in for their course.” When asked how this ‘miseducation’ came about or how it is encouraged in the university classroom, Cornett stated, “if a person gives you the right answer, but they do it not on the basis of their convictions, not on the basis of what they really think, what they really believe, we are encouraging a dichotomy, a type of miseducation.” Thus, the reason for the title of the documentary and for Cornett’s session on dialogical teaching Wednesday evening.On a blog at Cornett’s web site, a former student (2003) commented on Cornett’s response to battling this miseducation in the classroom.“In Norm’s class, however, through hundreds of reflections inside and outside of the ‘theatre of the classroom’ as he put it, we found our own voices, perhaps writing creatively for the first time since high school.Norm did not ask for grammar, spelling, concerns for political correctness or his position; he wanted instant unencumbered phenomenological sensation articulated without anxiety.” This is in fact what Cornett calls stream of consciousness teaching and honest reflection, which is difficult to plagiarize.The documentary ‘When Do We Divorce the Right Answer from an Honest Answer?’ will be screened Wednesday, Oct.17 at 7 p.m.at the Foreman Art Gallery, in conjunction with Cinema Politica.It will be followed by Cornett’s dialogical pedagogy session Travel Vaccination, Service • Hepatitis A and B • Typhoid • Update your immunization schedule Thursdays 10 a.m.to 11:30 a.m.Rachel Lajeunesse Sylvie Lussier Marie-Claude Lapointe Jean Cou tu iSanté Beautél 147 Queen Street Lennoxville On appointment only.Other services: Blood tests Monday and Thursday mornings.For more information, the team from the laboratory will be glad to help vou.819-569-3601 Page 4 Tuesday, October 16, 2012 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record Wales Home holds commemorative service in memory of loved ones passed By Claudia Villemaire Record Correspondent Richmond With five hundred and forty one lit candles in the Great Hall at the Foyer Wales Home residence for seniors near Richmond, the emotion was palpable as each candle, representing the memory of loved ones, flickered, casting quivering shadows across the faces of nearly two hundred people gathered for the commemorative service and moment of silence.The inspiration of Emilie Lessard and wholeheartedly supported by staff and volunteers, this new activity will, without doubt, become an honoured tradition at this residence, the response to the suggestion of purchasing a commemorative candle surpassed organizers expectations.“We are very, very pleased with everyone’s reaction to this great idea,” said Brendalee Piironen, Director of Operations at this seniors’ residence.“We were hopeful maybe two hundred or more would respond and we thank each and everyone.Folks from near and far rallied to remember their loved ones with this simple tiny candle.” SiWil Mr- r PHOTO BY CLAUDIA VILLEMAIRE Dan Yashinsky brings stories to the Townships By Heather Davis Record Correspondent Sherbrooke/Lennoxville As a young man, Dan Yashinsky devoted his life to telling stories and he is now well known across Canada as a teller and an advocate of storytelling.He founded the Toronto storytelling festival 35 years ago and his storytelling circle, 1001 Friday nights, still runs every week in Toronto.Yashinsky arrived in Sherbrooke to tell stories as part of the Township’s trilingual festival.Les Jours Sont Contes.His first presentation, The Storyteller at Fault, took place last Friday at La Maison des Arts de la Parole (previously Productions Littorale) at 138 Wellington in downtown Sherbrooke.The room is beautiful, with wooden floors, an old brick wall, and good lighting.Yashinsky carries a large stick decorated with trinkets and souvenirs to remind him of his repertoire of stories.When he stands in front of an audience, his eyes sparkle and the audience can easily believe he is telling his story for the first time.His played the role of a storyteller sentenced to death because he reftxses to write his stories down as he believes, “Writing stories down is the beginning of forgetting them.” He asks to be allowed to tell one last story and this story is about a father telling stories to his son.When the storyteller ends his tale on a cliffhanger, the king agrees to let him live and he, in turn, agrees to write down a few of his stories.Yashinsky reminds the audience how stories can impart courage and wisdom.He says, “Every story is true or has something true in it.The more stories you have, the more truth you have.” HEATHER DAVIS On Saturday, Yashinsky performed at Uplands in Lennoxville with local storytelling legend, Ann Rothfels, who started the Townships Tellers 22 years ago.She began with a story about weaving, which she loves because of her own life-long desire to be a good weaver.The two tellers alternated, with Yashinsky telling a story filled with riddles such as Storytellers Dan Yashinsky and Ann Rothfels.“What is the distance between East and West?” and “What is the distance between truth and falsehood?” The answer to the first riddle is one day because the sun rises in the east and sets in the west.The answer to the second is the distance between our eye and our ear since the ear hears a lie, but the eye sees the truth.Yashinsky left for Toronto on Sunday, but the festival continues with local and visiting tellers throughout the week.Another English event will take place on Sunday Oct.21 at Uplands featuring storyteller Marta Singh and titled.Speaking No Evil.See the web site for more details about events during the week: www.lesjourssontcontes.com. The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Tuesday, October 16, 2012 Page 5 The Canadian Press Quebec star witness: donated illegally to every party A star witness at Quebec’s corruption inquiry says illegal fundraising was commonplace in the province’s politics and he says it happened under various political parties.Former construction boss Lino Zam-bito is testifying that he funnelled $88,000 over the last decade to all Quebec political parties through third parties _ notably through family, friends and employees.Zambito says the practice helped parties circumvent the province’s donation limit, which was $3,000.In one case he says he turned over $30,000 _ 10 times the legal donation limit at the time _ at the request of a prominent provincial Liberal fundraiser who was the spouse of a minister.But it wasn’t just the Liberals; he says he also gave smaller amounts to the Parti Québécois and the now-defunct ADQ.Zambito says he later reimbursed associates who made the donations.On the witness stand, Zambito expressed remorse for putting his friends and family in an embarrassing position.He says some of these people didn’t care about politics, that he urged them to participate, and he says they do not deserve to see their names on a public donors’ list.In a dramatic moment of testimony.Zambito has blamed a broken system that he says puts unfair pressure on politicians to raise money and on people in the construction industry to deliver it.He says that system revolved, at the provincial level, around engineering firms.He says large companies were intimately involved with political parties and they constantly solicited construction bosses for money.He offers two suggestions for fixing the fundraising system: Increase the public subsidy for political parties, or increase the donation limited.Otherwise, he says, a black market will inevitably develop.He says political parties are desperate for cash to finance their campaigns, and without sufficient fundraising channels they will be tempted to resort to illict means to get it.Zambito is beginning his sixth day of testimony which has seen an explosive volley of allegations.At the municipal level he has described a cartel-like structure that colluded to pick who would win public construction contracts.He says the system included bribes for municipal officials, kickbacks to certain political parties, and a percentage claimed by the Italian Mafia.None of Zambito’s allegations have been proven in court and his allegations have been met with denials of any wrongdoing.Asbestos gets $2.2 million for low-rent apartments By Stephen McDougall Record Correspondent Asbestos Four public, low-cost apartment buildings will be renovated this fall at a cost of $2.5 million, 90 per cent of it coming from the provincial government.“The buildings were put up in the early 1970s and need a lot of work,” said manager Laurent Soucy.“Also, many of the larger apartments will be reduced in size because of a trend toward smaller, single parent families." Soucy said in some of the buildings where there were 5 and a half rooms, the apartments will be turned into 3 and a half rooms.“Many of the newer tenants are single parents with maybe one child to take care of,” he said.“That is where demand is headed, so we must be ready for it.” The buildings were built to house people with modest incomes, often wel- fare and disability cases as well as some retired people.Their rent is calculated to meet 25 per cent of their income.The federal, provincial and municipal governments assume the rent subsidy that makes up the difference in the cost of the apartment.Soucy said despite tough economic times for the town, the waiting list for getting a subsidized apartment is not large.“We have about five applicants waiting, and the turnover rate for tenants is about 25 per cent,” he said.“We don’t know if that list will get longer or not, but it is low now.” The town learned last month that the Quebec government would not help finance the reopening of the Jeffrey asbestos mine, and that a proposed megadump project had fallen through.Both projects would have created up to 600 jobs in the area.Still, the town of Asbestos is optimistic about its economic future.The town will assume $250,000 of the renovation cost, ten per cent of the total.Soucy said the renovations were guided by the provincial Quebec Housing Authority, which determined the buildings, should be restored rather than torn down.“Our office was told that demolition was not an option,” he said.“The buildings will be upgraded and the apartments downsized.That means new insulation, outdoor siding and new electric, plumbing and heating systems.” The four buildings comprise 138 apartments on Pierre-Laporte, Boisvert, Chasse and Gosselin streets.The work will take up to 16 weeks to complete.In other Asbestos housing news, the first apartment building on the site of the former town hall has been erected and rented out and two more similar buildings are slated for construction this fall and next spring.“The buildings that will be put up have already been rented out,” said town manager Georges Andre Gagne.“The goal is to have five buildings erected in the next two years, so we’re halfway to our goal.” The town made a deal with local contractors and developers to provide the land for the apartment complex from where the former town hall used to stand, at the corner of St.Luc Blvd ad Roi Street.The fivestorey hall was demolished last year because of high costs and lack of use.Each new building houses four two-storey apartments that are rented out to residents who have sold their single dwelling homes and want an autonomous residence for their retirement years.“Both the town and the developers take a 50-50 risk in this venture,” said Gagne.“But we make sure there is demand before we go ahead with new construction.“Each apartment rented out usually means another house in town has been sold to a younger family, often a family moving into our town.” Memphremagog Police weekend blotter Magog - (McD) Three more drivers had their licenses suspended this weekend because they had consumed alcohol.Two were subject to a zero alcohol tolerance limitation and one of these tried to pass off a false I.D.because his license was already suspended.His vehicle was impounded because he was breaking several of his conditions of release.He appeared at the courthouse, Monday, in Sherbrooke.The third driver, aged 19 from Sherbrooke, exceeded the legal limit of alcohol in his blood.Criminal charges will be filed against him.A 23 year-old driver from Racine was caught driving 98 km/h in a 50 km/h zone Sunday night.This earned him a $624 ticket and 10 demerit points.In addition, he had to undergo a breath test which showed an alcohol blood level of more than the legal limit of .80 mg.His license was suspended for 90 days and he has been released pending criminal charges.Once again, the RCMP asked Memphremagog Police for support in detaining a large commercial vehicle which drove straight through customs in Stanstead on Highway 55 coming from the United States.T The suspect vehicle, registered in Illi- nois, was stopped on Highway 55 near Magog with 13 people of Romanian origin on board.These included adults, children and babies who were all handed over to the RCMP.Last week, under very similar circumstances, 17 Romanian nationals were detained.So far this year more than 60 people of Romanian origin have been arrested in the region after crossing the border illegally.Riopelle & Vigneault at the Memphremagog Library Magog From Oct.18, 2012 to Sept.29, 2013, the Memphremagog Library will host the work of two of Quebec’s most prominent artists with the exhibition “Riopelle & Vigneault - The Circus -Work of the end of Jean Paul Riopelle’s life (1923 2002)”.This was the first collaboration between the two artists.The exhibition includes twelve origi- nal engravings which occupied painter and engraver Jean-Paul Riopelle in his last years and six unpublished texts, written for the occasion by Gilles Vigneault, Quebec’s unofficial poet-story-teller-singer-songwriter laureate.Through their combined talents, the artists share their vision of the circus, colour and poetry.Vigneault plays with words, Riopelle with forms and images.The result is a joyful and poetic experi- ence for the public.The exhibition is complemented by a didactic presentation that allows the public to understand the work processes of a master engraver.It also allows them to awaken to the poetry of Gilles Vigneault and approach the work of these two artists who created this art book inspired by the theme of the circus.In this work, the poetry of the text melds with that of the colours and the where humour of the shapes overlaps that of the words.In addition to the exhibition which will take place over the next eleven months, Gilles Vigneault will at one point be the guest of the Memphremagog Library where he will meet with the public.The date for that rendezvous has yet to be announced. Page 6 Tuesday, October 16, 2012 ne wsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record BITORIAL Low level exposure to antibiotics allows the bacteria the time to build a resistance.By such means are the drugs rendered useless to deal with any real crisis that might arise.Antibiotics are part of the problem, not the solution Bacteria winning the war on medicine By Ivy Weir More than we ever wanted to know about E coli is wafting toward us through the airwaves.Maybe we better hold our noses and unravel the headlines.No less than Theodor Escherichia first identified the single-celled bacteria in 1885, bestowing it with his own name.Under normal conditions, the bacteria are present in the intestinal tract of humans, where it maintains a balance with millions of other bacteria, yes, millions.Left to its own devices, it causes no harm to its host.When a marked imbalance disrupts the normal flora of its natural habitat, illness occurs.The E coli strain in cattle tells a different tale.Bearing only the number 0157:H7, it can be deadly when passed on to humans .though it too.remains harmless to its host.There are multiple modes of transmission from bovine to human with 85 per cent said to be food borne due to poor hygiene.The slaughter and processing of beef ranks high followed by sewage that contaminates water for either drinking or swimming or unpasteurized milk and juices.Plants such as lettuce and spinach can be contaminated through their root system, evading the action of sanitizing agents.So far, following the fecal contamination found in an XL abattoir in Alberta that furnishes one third of all beef across the country and beyond, 14 patients from 4 provinces have recovered from the illness.A monopoly on such a volumn of beef produce raises questions in itself.Massive recalls are underway while the plant itself has been closed by the CFIA (Canadian Food Inspection Agency) awaiting a major reassessment.Symptoms can occur from 4 to 8 days following exposure.The majority of the afflicted can recover within a week with no treatment at all The young and elderly are more susceptible to the powerful toxins that can cause ‘hemolytic uremic syndrome’, better known as kidney failure.The death rate is said to be from 3 to 5 per cent.Treatment includes hydration, blood transfusions if depletion has occurred and/or kidney dialysis for the severely compromised.No one appears to want to believe that the solution lies simply in soap and water.Rigorous hand washing with special attention to cutting boards and counters are sound preventive techniques.Well cooked meat reaching 71 degrees, renders the invader harmless.A safe alternative is to shop at local farms and food cooperatives along with community supported agriculture where the buyer can develop a relationship with the growers.A related phenomenon occurs with the same results, albeit a different mechamism, when treatment with antibiotics is initiated.The drugs can destroy normal bacteria in the intestinal tract, allowing competitors such as C difficile to multiply and release toxins with lethal results.Other villains are veterinary prescribed antibiotics, pesticides and heavy metals that are prescribed or ingested by cattle and passed on to humans.Low level exposure to antibiotics allows the bacteria the time to build a resistance.By such means are the drugs rendered useless to deal with any real crisis that might arise.Their overuse for non-bacterial infection, contributes to the same unwelcome results.A regular cold is only one such example, caused as it usually is, by a virus, not bacteria, and therefore immune to antibiotics.Only the uninformed stock up on the drugs with their doctor’s collusion, falsely believing they will ward off illness.Instead, they contribute to building up resistance Antibiotics were never meant as a prophylactic agent and were over-sold as a miracle cure for just about everything.It is ironic that the bacteria itself becomes resistant.Thus, someone who has refused all antibiotics over a lifetime and becomes infected by the forearmed bacteria, is as vulnerable as those who have over indulged.So much for the rewards of due diligence.¦i¦—Till » RECORD

our society to socialize them.We qualify them to prepare them for the workforce.Each word is important in understanding the meaning of education.Education takes place at another level.It seeks to transmit values.To impart a code of ethics.To raise consciousness.These values matter according to the purpose they serve in life.These values are important because they have the power to change the world.These values clarify and stimulate an individual’s efforts to be.Education influences our physical, social, mental and spiritual dimensions.It affects our entire being.All at once.All the time.It touches us on the level of raising our consciousness.Education is a conversation between people; it doesn’t require schools.The existing mandatory mass approach is inevitably limited in its results.A community approach would be preferable, but the buildings are there.By contrast, education takes place one person at a time.It creates spaces where individuals influence each other on a value level.It offers an infinite number of solutions to satisfy every need of every individual.Education is the means to becoming more human and to raising our level of consciousness, which is the direction humanity must take to survive.Pierre Demers is a retired professor and author of the books entitled Élever la conscience humaine par l’éducation (PUQ - 2008) and L'humanité.De l'obscurité à la lumière.L'éducation pour rendre le pouvoir à l'être humain (PUQ - 2011).He can be reached by e-mail at pietTe.demers@usherbrooke.ca.Letter 2012 Terry Fox and Wales Home Campaigns Dear Editor: This year, my Terry Fox campaign for cancer research raised $5,070, an increase from last year's $4,777.60! Your support is very much appreciated.Over 84 per cent of the frinds collected nationally by the Terry Fox Foundation go towards cancer research.Progress is being made in finding a cure, but much remains to be done! We can not let up!

seems to be enjoying being part of a team and it’s paying off in her running.” Sherbrooke’s Pfister earns McGill accolades COURTESY Caroline Pfister, a 20-year-old architecture student and Sherbrooke native, is making her presence felt with the Martlets nationally ranked cross-country running team.By Mike Hickey Special to the Record Caroline Pfister, a 20-year-old architecture student and Sherbrooke native, is making her presence felt on the McGill University campus and specifically with the Martlets nationally ranked cross-country running team.She finished first of 44 competitors as the Martlets captured the Rouge et Or Open cross-country meet in Quebec City two weeks ago.The 5-foot-3 distance specialist, who has'represented Canada at several international age-class competitions, completed the four-kilometre race in 14 minutes, 14 seconds, finishing 27 seconds ahead of her next closest competitor.Pfister joined the Martlets this fall after graduating from the College de Sherbrooke.“Caroline’s getting better each outing,” said McGill head coach Dennis Barrett.“She really seems to be enjoying being part of a team and it’s paying off in her running.All in all, it was a pretty good day for us with a number of quality performances,” added Barrett.“Our women’s squad looks very strong and al- though the guys have been hit by some illness, they are much improved compared to the last few years.” Teammates Sarah McCuaig (14:41) and Evelyn Anderson (15:01), finished second and third, respectively.The Martlets beat out second-place Laval by 14 points.Sherbrooke was a distant third with 81, followed by UQJR and Concordia with 122 points apiece.Notably absent fom the McGill lineup was super sophomore Jessica Por-filio, who has been among the top two Martlet runners during her short tenure at McGill.“She was being rested along with Madeleine Cummings,” explained Barrett.“When you run a distance race every week, every step takes a toll.Even going downhill takes a pounding on the body.We’re counting on those two to peak at the conference championships in a few weeks and the Nationals, so they need to be fresh.” With Porfilio and Pfister in the lineup together the Martlets will have a powerful one-two punch and should be a solid favourite to win the Quebec championships and advance to the Nationals.The Martlets are ranked fourth nationally in the latest CIS Top Ten poll, the only Quebec team to be nationally ranked.Pfister’s performances have earned her back-to-back McGill athlete of the Week honours.McGill will compete next at the Atlantic conference interlocking meet in Fredericton, Oct.13.It will be their final event before the RSEQconference championships, Oct.27.Reebok Shoot for the Cure comes to a close The Bishop’s Lady Gaiters annual Reebok Shoot for the Cure basketball tournament came to a close on Sunday.The Montreal Dynamo defeated the Queen’s University Gaels to capture their second straight title.The Montreal Express topped the Lady Gaiters in the other game of the tournament.Also in action on Sunday, the Bishop’s women’s soccer team fell to the UQTR Patriotes 2-0 on Coulter Field.The first basketball game of the day tipped off with the two undefeated teams in the tournament, the Montreal Dynamo and Queen's Gaels.The Dynamo won 69-53 and captured their second Reebok Shoot for the Cure title in a row.The Dynamo were led by Karine Bibeau (Victoriaville) who scored 22 points while Mariran Fortier (Amos, Quebec) added 20.Isabelle Grenier (Quebec City) scored seven points, had eight assists and six steals.Lisa Minutillo (Brantford, Ontario) led the Gaels with 10 points.The Gaels outrebounded the Dynamo 47-31 but were only able to shoot 28 per cent from floor.Bibeau was named the tournament’s most valuable player.The Gaiters and Express tipped off at 1 p.m.For the third straight day the Gaiters wore their pink jerseys in their fight against breast cancer.At halftime of the game, a cheque presentation was made as the 2012 edition of the Reebok Shoot for the Cure tournament raised $2,400.On the court the Express came out strong leading 14-11 after the first quarter and 29-19 at the half.Bishop’s made a run in the third quarter but the Express bounced back in the final frame and went onto win 60-43.Marie-Love Michel (Montreal) led the way with 17 points and eight rebounds for the Express while Gladys Hakizimana (Montreal) chipped in with 11 points and seven boards.Maude Archambault (Que bec) and Beatrice Bergeron (Montreal) each scored 10.The Gaiters were led by Gabrielle Chamberland (Sherbrooke).She scored 14 points.Outside on Coulter Field the Lady Gaiters (0-8-2) soccer squad took on the UQTR Patriotes (1-7-2).UQTR scored first and carried a 1-0 lead into the break.Bishop’s was unable to get anything going offensively and the Patriotes managed a second tally after the half.Marie-Pierre Harvey (Quebec City) was between the pipes for the purple and white.The game ended with UQTR on top by a score of 2-0.The Lady Gaiters basketball team will next be in action on Oct.26-28 as they travel to Moncton, New Brunswick to play in the Don Grant Classic.The women’s soccer team will host Concordia (4-2-3) on Friday, Oct.19 at 6 p.m.on Coulter Field.Source: Marty Rourke, Bishop's University Bishop’s University Polar Bears kick off season with win By Caleigh Cross Special to The Record The Bishop’s University Polar Bears kicked off their season with a hard-earned victory against the Nea Dynamic Estrie team on Saturday.The Bears scored the first goal of the game within the first period and held off the Sherbrooke team until well into the second period.The Bishop’s team mounted an impressive defense, but the Nea Dynamic Estrie scored during the second period, tying the game.The Nea Dynamic Estrie pushed back hard against the Bears’ fierce offense and tireless defense, working into overtime.With only four players on the bench, Sherbrooke was fighting diligently.Tension was high as the game was still tied at 1-1 at the end of the overtime period.The teams were ready to wrap it up, but the crowd cheered for a shootout, and the players obliged.Nea Dynamic Estrie scored the first goal after five rounds, giving the Bears only one more chance to even the score and keep the game alive, and the right- CALEIGH CROSS hand side of the stadium erupted with cheers when they scored the goal.The game was tied 2-2.After a few more shootout tries, the Polar Bears scored, and Nea Dynamic Estrie couldn’t quite even the numbers, making it a 3-2 win for Bishop’s University.The game was a great way to kickstart the women’s ice hockey season both on and off the ice.Teammates on both sides were extremely supportive of one another, bumping fists, hugging, and cheering each other on during both the game and the shoot-out.The crowd was wonderfully active, dapping, cheering, and stomping their feet every time their team scored.They even cheered for the Zamboni driver at intermission who honked his horn and took a faster victory lap before the teams came back onto the ice.The Bishop’s University Polar Bears will share the rink with the Nea Dynamic Estrie team once again in their next game, an exhibition at the W.B.Scott Arena.It will take place on Saturday, Nov.3, at 7 p.m.Admission is free.

It doesn't take a special day To bring thoughts of you to mind, For the days that we do not think of you Are often hard to find.Our hearts still ache with sadness, Our silent tears still flow, For what it meant to lose you No one could ever know.Remembered always, MICHAEL & ELSIE HARBINSON AND FAMILY Help us help them! uwr 49% of Quebecers 1 I have serious difficulty reading M AUtfi**Cy Avoid being victimized by financial schemes and scams The recent sentencing of Ponzi schemer R.Allen Stanford provided a useful, if costly, reminder of how today’s most successftil scams often work.According to Consumer Reports Money Adviser, Stanford’s $7 billion swindle wasn’t based on baffling financial instruments, like credit default swaps or collateralized debt obligations, but on plain old certificates of deposit, albeit from an offshore bank.And the returns he promised on his bogus CDs were, while attractive, not so outrageous as to raise suspicions.Though Stanford’s 110-year sentence should keep him off the streets for a while, there are plenty more where he came from.Consumer Reports Money Adviser offers a few ideas on how to protect yourself: 1.Know yourself.The most common victims of investment fraud aren’t the unsophisticated boobs many of us would imagine.According to a 2011 AARP Foundation study, they are more likely ASK DOCTOR K Healthy snacking can ease hunger pains By Anthony L.Komaroff, M.D.DEAR DOCTOR K: I never thought snacking could be part of a healthy diet.Am I wrong?Can you give me suggestions for healthy snacking?DEAR READER: Snacking is not automatically unhealthy.In fact, it can be very healthy — but you have to choose the right foods and eat them in the right amounts.Plenty of healthy foods are quick and easy to eat.Fruits, veggie sticks and moderate amounts of nuts are all good choices.But even healthy snacks can be unhealthful if you eat too much.Try to keep snacks to around 150 calories.So what should you snack on?To start, keep some fresh fruit on hand.Bring a banana to work.Keep a bowl of grapes or cherries on the kitchen table.than the general population to earn in excess of $50,000 a year and to have at least some college education.And most victims, by far, are male.Beyond basic demographics, the victims have some unfortunate habits in common.A revealing one is that they are more likely than the general population to “expose themselves to sales situations.” Among other things, that means calling 800 numbers for information on deals they’ve seen advertised: reading investment junk mail; and attending sales presentations, like the notorious “free lunch” investment seminars.If any of this sounds like you, you probably want to be especially careful.And if it doesn’t sound like you, you’ll want to be careful anyhow.2.Know the red flags.As the Stanford case illustrates, even the most benign-sounding investments can be fraudulent.Still, there are some investments that ought to raise your suspicions by their very nature.Among them: — Promissory notes.These investment contracts usually promise an attractive rate of return and purport to be backed by solid assets like oil and gas leases, life-insurance policies or whatever’s in vogue at the moment.While promissory notes have a legitimate role in the world of business, they generally have no business in the average investor’s portfolio.If you’re ever tempted, however, first check out the deal and the seller with your state securities regulator.— Real-estate hustles.The depressed real-estate market has provided the perfect sales pitch for many of today’s scam-sters.Think the market might be poised Dried fruit can be a good choice if you keep portion size reasonable.Both fresh and dried fruits contain plenty of vitamins and fiber.Try small amounts of unsalted or lightly salted nuts.Almonds, walnuts, cashews and other nuts contain many nutrients.And although some are high in fat, the fat is mainly unsaturated “good” fat.Nuts have lots of calories, though, so keep portion sizes small.I always have small bags of nuts in my desk drawer.Each bag contains about 100 calories.Either in the middle of the morning or afternoon, when I’m between meals and starting to get hungry, I finish off a bag.But my deal with myself is just one bag a day.Unsalted seeds are also nutritious and healthy — sunflower or roasted pumpkin seeds, for example.Try to eat snacks with a combination of protein, fat and carbohydrate.Have a few nuts (protein and fat) and some grapes (carbohydrate).Eat whole-grain crackers (carbohydrate) with some low-fat cheese (protein and fat).Mix and match healthy items.Try baby carrots with yogurt.Dip wheat crackers in guacamole.Spread a small amount of peanut butter on apple slices or celery sticks.Whole-grain snacks, such as whole- for a rebound?Then why not invest in a limited partnership or similar deal that will pool your money with that of other investors to scoop up foreclosed houses or undervalued commercial property at giveaway prices?Again, it’s always possible the deal is on the level, but make sure you know the risks and the reputation of the people you’re dealing with before you even consider getting into it 3.Know when to get help.Some scam artists actually require their clients to sign confidentiality pledges.The agreements spell out harsh financial penalties should clients ever reveal the details of the deal, which makes some of them fearful of contacting authorities even when they know they’ve been fleeced.Others are hesitant to come forward simply out of embarrassment.The AARP study reported that a mere 29 percent of victims ever reported the crime.The nonprofit Investor Protection Trust came to a similar conclusion in a study released in June that focused on elderly scam victims.When it surveyed more than 700 securities regulators, law-enforcement officers, medical professionals and others, fully 85 percent said “shame on the part of the victims” was a reason investment scams often went unreported.Interestingly, the second-highest answer, not far behind at 80 percent, was “the ability of con artists to string victims along until it’s too late.” If you ever suspect that you or a loved one has been the victim of a scam, Consumer Reports Money Adviser recommends that you report it — and quickly.You might get at least part of your money back.grain, low-salt pretzels and high-fiber, whole-grain cereals, can give you some energy with staying power.Choose these over snacks made with refined flour.We have more information on healthy food choices in our Special Health Report, “Healthy Eating: A Guide to the New Nutrition." (Learn more about this report at AskDoctorK.com, or call 877-649-9457 toll-free to order it.) Finally, always plan ahead.If you think you might get hungry while you’re out and about, carry a small bag of healthful snacks with you.Snacking also helps you from getting hungry between meals.When you’re re ally hungry, you’ll eat more than you should.Your hunger can make you eat quickly (like finishing a big meal in 15 minutes).However, it takes time (20 to 30 minutes after you start eating) for your brain to turn down your appetite.You may need only 1,000 calories at a meal, but before you know it, you've eaten 2,000 calories.Healthy snacking can quiet your appetite and lead to smaller, more healthful meals.Dr.Komaroff is a physician and professor at Harvard Medical School.To send questions, go to AskDoctorK.com, or write: Ask Doctor K, 10 Shattuck St., Second Floor, Boston, MA 02115.RATES and DEADLINES: ANNOUNCEMENTS & NOTICES BIRTH NOTICES, CAROS OF THANKS, IN MEMORIAMS, BRIEFLETS: Text only: 37( per word.Minimum charge $9.25 ($10.63 taxes included) Discounts: 2 insertions or more: 15% off With photo: additional $18.50.DEADLINE: 11 a m., day before publication.BIRTHDAY, ANNIVERSARY & GET-WELL WISHES, ENGAGEMENT NOTICES: Text only: $15.00 (includes taxes) With photo: $25.00 ($28.74 taxes included) DEADLINE: 3 days before publication WEDDING WRITE-UPS, OBITUARIES: $25.00 ($28.74 taxes included) WITH PHOTO: $35.00 ($40.24 taxes included) Please Note: All of the aforementioned (except death notices) must be submitted typewritten or neatly printed, and must include the signature and daytime telephone number of the contact person Can be e-mailed to: classad@sherbrookerecord.com - They will not be taken by phone DEADLINES FOR DEATH NOTICES: For Monday's paper, call 819-569-4856 between 1 p.m.and 5 p.m.Sunday.For Tuesday, Wednesday.Thursday or Friday’s edition, call 819-569-4856 or fax 819-569-1187 (please call to confirm transmission) or e-mail: production@sherbrookerecord com between 9 a.m.and 5 p.m.the day prior to the day of publication.The Record cannot guarantee publication if another Record number is called.
