Clear speech comes moreslowly to some toddlers

DEAR DOCTOR K: My 4-year-old still mispronouncesmany words. Adults outsideof our family have troubleunderstanding what he’ssaying. Should I be worried?

DEAR READER: Just asit took time for your child tolearn his first word, it takestime for children to learn tospeak clearly and correctly.To see what the latest think-ing on this is, I talked topediatrician colleagues atHarvard Medical School.

In their first couple ofyears of life, all childrenpronounce words incorrectlyas they are learning tospeak. By 3 years of age,children pronounce most oftheir words correctly and astranger would understand

at least three-quarters ofthem. By 4 years of age,mispronounced words areless common. However, evenat this age, many childrenstill use words incorrectlyand have difficulty with cer-tain sounds, especially f, l, r,s, v, sh and th.

Stuttering, an interrup-tion in the normal flow ofspeech, can be a phase inthe normal speech develop-ment for some children.Stuttering is typically firstnoticed between the ages of2 and 5, though sometimesit begins as early as 18months of age. Many casesof stuttering last for only afew months, and most chil-dren who stutter stop com-pletely before the end oftheir childhood.

If your child mispro-

nounces words, makesgrammatical mistakes orstutters, you can help athome by doing the following:

— Encourage conversa-tion. Set aside time each dayfor sitting down and talkingwith your child one-on-one.Also talk while doing every-day activities such as gro-cery shopping or makingdinner.

— Use adult language,not “baby talk,” when speak-ing with your child.

— Speak to your childslowly and clearly.

— Make eye contact anduse facial expressions andother body language in addi-tion to words to enhancecommunication with yourchild. It’s often your expres-sions and body languagethat help them to learn the

meaning of words.— Be a patient, attentive

listener.— Do not finish your

child’s words or sentencesand do not interrupt.

— Do not pressure yourchild to speak to strangersor perform in public.

If you are still concerned,talk with your child’s doctor.He or she can refer you to aspeech-language pathologistfor further evaluation ifneeded. Speech-languagepathologists can help youand your doctor distinguishnormal variability in speechdevelopment from a trueproblem.

Not every blossom unfurlsthe same way in the morn-ing sun, and not every childprogresses in the same waythrough the stages of child-

hood development. It issometimes said that evenAlbert Einstein was veryslow to speak (although sev-eral biographers haveexpressed doubt about that).In any event, some kids areprecocious in one area andslow in others — and thencatch up.

By Abigail Van BurenDEAR ABBY: Before my ex-husband and I were married, I

became pregnant with his baby. We decided together that weweren’t ready for the responsibility and made the mutual deci-sion to end the pregnancy early in the first trimester. We didmarry eventually and had a baby girl a few years ago who isnow in college.

We divorced many years ago because of his many affairs, in-cluding one with his best friend’s wife. I have come to believethat my ex told our daughter about our decision out of spitebecause I told her about the affairs when she was old enoughto understand since she may have a half-sister.

Should I ask my daughter about this or let it go? It was avery private decision, and I think he is a creep for hurting herby telling her. — FURIOUS IN ILLINOIS

DEAR FURIOUS: Why do you think you ex spilled thebeans to your daughter? Has she been behaving differently to-ward you? Why do you think she “may” have a half-sister? Areyou sure it isn’t more than one — or a brother or two?

The fact that you terminated a pregnancy before yourdaughter’s birth has nothing to do with her. If you think thereis something festering between you and your daughter, my ad-vice is to clear the air before it gets worse.

******DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend and I have been together since

August 2012 and have lived together since last summer. He isperfect in every way. He wakes me every morning with a smileand a kiss and pours me a cup of tea. He never goes anywherewithout letting me know he thinks I’m beautiful and tellingme how much he loves me.

He gets home before I do most nights, has a glass of wineand a hot bath waiting forme, and cooks dinner whileI’m in the tub. He’s amazing!The only problem is, I waswith sooo many of the wrongmen for years, I have forgot-ten how to spoil a man in re-turn.

I want him to know howmuch I appreciate and lovehim, but I don’t know how. Ijust want him to know he’sthe one I want to sit on theporch with one day, watchingour grandchildren play. Idon’t want to lose him be-cause he thinks I don’t appre-ciate all he does. Please help.— KNOWS A GOOD THINGIN NEW JERSEY

WASHINGTON (AP) —Those “Nutrition Facts” labelson nearly every food packagein grocery stores are getting anew look.

Calories would be in larger,bolder type, and consumerswould know whether foodshave added sugars under la-bel changes proposed by theObama administration Thurs-day. Serving sizes would beupdated to make them morerealistic. A serving of icecream, for example, woulddouble to a full cup, closer towhat people actually eat.

The proposed overhaulcomes as nutritionists’ viewshave shifted. While fat wasthe focus two decades agowhen the labels first were cre-ated, there is now more con-

cern about how many calorieswe eat. And serving sizes havelong been misleading, withmany single-serving packageslisting multiple servings, sotheir calorie count is lower.

The idea isn’t that peopleshould eat more; it’s that theyshould understand how manycalories are in what they areactually eating. The Food andDrug Administration saysthat by law, serving sizesmust be based on actual con-sumption, not ideal consump-tion.

“Our guiding principle hereis very simple, that you as aparent and a consumer shouldbe able to walk into your localgrocery store, pick up an itemoff the shelf and be able to tellwhether it’s good for your fam-ily,” said first lady MichelleObama, who joined the Foodand Drug Administration inannouncing the proposedchanges at the White House.

Mrs. Obama made the an-nouncement as part of herLet’s Move initiative to com-bat child obesity, which is cele-brating its fourth anniversary.On Tuesday, she announcednew Agriculture Departmentrules that would reduce mar-keting of less-healthful foodsin schools.

The first lady and FDACommissioner MargaretHamburg said one of the aimsof the new labels is to makethem less confusing for har-ried parents shopping at thegrocery store. Hamburg calledthe revision “a more user-friendly version” of the cur-rent label.

The new labels are probablyseveral years away. The FDAwill take comments on theproposal for 90 days, and a fi-nal rule could take anotheryear. Once it’s final, theagency has proposed givingindustry two years to comply.

The FDA projects food com-panies will have to payaround $2 billion as theychange the labels. Companieshave resisted some of thechanges in the past, includinglisting added sugars on the la-bel, but the industry is so farwithholding criticism.

The Grocery ManufacturersAssociation, the industrygroup that represents the na-tion’s largest food companies,did not respond to any specific

parts of the proposal butcalled it a “thoughtful review.”

President Pamela Baileysaid in a statement that it isimportant to the food compa-nies that the labels “ultimate-ly serve to inform, and notconfuse, consumers” but didnot elaborate.

It was still not yet clearwhat the final labels wouldlook like. The FDA offered twolabels in its proposal — onethat looks similar to the cur-rent version but is shorter andclearer and another thatgroups the nutrients into a“quick facts” category forthings like fat, carbohydrates,sugars and proteins.

There also would be an“avoid too much” category forsaturated fats, trans fats, cho-lesterol, sodium and addedsugars; and a “get enough”section with vitamin D, potas-sium, calcium, iron and fiber.Potassium and vitamin D arenew additions, based on cur-rent thinking that Americansaren’t getting enough of thosenutrients. Vitamin C and vita-min A listings are no longerrequired.

Both versions list caloriesabove all of those nutrients ina large, bold type.

The proposed rules wouldalso overhaul serving sizes forsoda and single-serving pack-ages. Both 12-ounce and 20-ounce sodas would be consid-ered one serving, and manysingle-serving packages — abag of chips, a can of soup or afrozen entree, for example —would either be listed as a sin-gle serving or list nutrient in-formation by serving and bycontainer.

The inclusion of added sug-ars to the label was one of thebiggest revisions. Nutritionadvocates have long asked forthat line on the label becauseit’s impossible for consumersto know how much sugar inan item is naturally occurring,like that in fruit and dairyproducts, and how much isadded by the manufacturer.Think an apple vs. applesauce, which comes in sweet-ened and unsweetened vari-eties.

According to the Agricul-ture Department’s 2010 Di-etary Guidelines for Ameri-cans, added sugars contributean average of 16 percent of thetotal calories in U.S. diets.Though those naturally occur-ring sugars and the addedsugars act the same in thebody, the USDA says theadded sugars are just emptycalories while naturally occur-ring ones usually come alongwith other nutrients.

David Kessler, who wasFDA commissioner when thefirst Nutrition Facts labelswere unveiled in the early1990s, said he thinks focusingon added sugars and calorieswill have a “demonstrativepublic health benefit.”

Kessler said the addedsweetness, like added salt,drives overeating. And compa-nies will adjust their recipesto get those numbers down.

CENTERVILLE _ No. 11seeded Centerville Bulldogsset the tone early and blewout the Hornbeck Hornets80-64 in the opening roundof the State Class B basket-ball playoffs here Friday atthe Centerville High School

Gym.Centerville _ which im-

proved to 16-5 overall withthe bi-district win _ willtravel to take on No. 6-seed-ed Simsboro on Tuesday inthe second round of the stateplayoffs.

“Our offense won it for ustonight as we scored 80points,” CHS Head CoachRandy Bergeron said. “ Wemade a lot of baskets off ourinbound shots which got usinto a flow to give us a biglead early. I was disappoint-

ed in our defense which issomething we will have towork on in the secondround.”

A huge 43-27 spurt overthe second and third quarterenabled the Bulldogs to graba 59-38 lead of which theywould not relinquish. Dou-ble digit scorers JumanjiWashington, Juwan Thomasand Zacchaeus Jackson fu-eled the Bulldogs’ chargewith Centerville taking ad-vantage of playing on itshome court.

Centerville opened Fri-day’s contest with a 16-13run before coasting to a one-sided 37-22 cushion at thehalf. The Bulldogs enjoyed a22-16 flurry in the thirdquarter, building a huge 59-38 advantage. Centervillestrolled away with the 80-64first round victory in thestate class B playoffs.

Centerville leading scorerJumanji Washington fired ina team-high 27 points whilescoring 22 points in thepaint and another five at thecharity stripe.

Late in the third quarter,Courtland Pogue, Washing-ton and Jackson helped theBulldogs close out a 22-16run for a lop-sided 59-38cushion.

With 1:08 showing on theclock, Courtland Poguedrained a short jumper tohand the Bulldogs a 51-35advantage. Washingtonquickly put back an offen-sive rebound as the Bulldogsheld a commanding 56-36cushion with 16.71 showingon the clock prior to Jacksontossing in another of hispatented treys on the night

with this coming at thebuzzer, propelling Center-ville to a 59-38 advantage atthe end of the third frame.

The Bulldogs continuedtheir dominance over Horn-beck with outstanding playthroughout the openinground contest.

After Cameron Pogueblocked a shot, DontreAustin made the second oftwo free throws to put theBulldogs ahead by a 62-45margin. Later in the quar-ter, Juwan Thomas swattedaway a shot which led up toCourtland Pogue going tothe free throw line as Cen-terville sailed ahead by a 67-51 margin. Down thestretch, Washington andRodney Harris scored fromclose range while Jacksonmade good from the arc asCenterville rolled past Horn-beck by a final score of 80-64.

Washington led the Bull-dogs in scoring with a team-high 27 points on 11 deucesand 5 of 9 free throws.Thomas recorded 14 pointson five field goals and 4 of 7free throws. Jackson pouredin 12 points, making good onfour treys. Courtland Pogue

added nine points whileRodney Harris tossed in sixpoints with Rodrick Harrisand Cole Candella firing infour points each. CameronPogue bagged three pointswith Dontre Austin addedone to round out the scoringfor the Bulldogs.

Ben Richmond led Horn-beck in scoring with 27points on eight deuces and11 of 13 free throws.

On the night, Centervillerecorded 26 deuces, fivetreys and 13 of 28 freebies.

Buyout season helps theNBA’s rich get richer. The re-mainder of the schedule willdetermine if they actually gotbetter.

With Danny Granger sign-ing with the Clippers andCaron Butler with OklahomaCity, teams that were alreadygood were able to add formerAll-Stars without having togive up anything except a lit-tle money.

It sometimes even seemsunfair, since just a few daysearlier adding playerswould’ve cost assets if teamswanted to improve via tradebefore the deadline.

“Buyouts at this point ofthe season are not good forthe game. They strengthenbetter teams & further de-stroy competitive balance,”former NBA player and cur-rent ESPN analyst JalenRose wrote on Twitter.

The buyouts usually startas soon as the deadline isover, when the agent of an un-happy veteran who didn’t getmoved — or in Granger’scase, moves somewhere hedoesn’t want to go — works

out a deal in which the playeragrees to leave some moneyon the table in exchange forhis release.

As long it’s done by March1 and he clears waivers, he’sfree to sign with any team ex-cept the one that releasedhim and would be eligible tosuit up for that team in theplayoffs.

The Clippers picked upGranger and Glen “Big Baby”Davis that way. Jimmer Fre-dette signed with Chicago onSunday, and Metta WorldPeace remains available.

Indiana coach Frank Vogelthinks the Clippers got “dra-matically better” withGranger. But tinkering thislate in a season can be tricky,and not everyone is sure it’sbest.

“They’re adding pieces.With adding pieces, some-times you can add too much,so I wouldn’t fall in love withevery move that’s made,”Warriors coach Mark Jacksonsaid. “Sometimes the bestmove is no move at all.”

Here are five things towatch this week:

COLLINS COMES HOME:More than a week after sign-ing a 10-day contract and be-coming the NBA’s first openlygay player, Jason Collinsmakes his home debut Mon-day when Brooklyn hostsChicago. Then the Nets willhave to decide if they want togive the veteran another con-tract.

TOURING TEXAS: TheMiami Heat, who have wonseven in a row, face a coupleof big challenges in Texas, vis-iting Houston on Tuesday be-fore heading to San Antoniofor another NBA Finals re-match on Thursday.

CHALLENGERS CHAS-ING: Nobody in the East iscatching Indiana or Miami,but the race for third place inthe much-maligned confer-ence has turned into a goodone. Chicago has won nine of10 to tie Toronto at 33-26,while Washington is twogames back after six straightvictories.

MAKINGS OF A MIS-MATCH: Philadelphia haslost 14 straight, its longestskid since dropping 15 in arow in 1994, and its nextgame is Tuesday at Okla-homa City, where the West-leading Thunder are 25-6.

RUDY! RUDY!: Rudy Gayreturns to Toronto on Fridayfor the first time since theRaptors traded him to Sacra-mento on Dec. 9. The forwardhas played well for the Kingsbut the Raptors have beenterrific without him, going 25-14 since the deal.

___STAT LINE OF THE

WEEK: Goran Dragic,Phoenix: career-high 40points, 14 of 21 from the field,

9 of 11 from the free throwline in a 116-104 victory overNew Orleans on Friday.

There are way too manyregulations in this document and I believe this will hurtthe growth of our parish which is in desperate need ofgrowth and I feel this would be the “Obama Care” of St.Mary Parish as it is being voted on before it is trulyconsidered or understood by all!!! Sincerely,Steven W. Cornes”Mrs. Morgan, Clerk also read the following letter whichwas addressed to the Parish Council members and theParish President:“Monty Cornes3820 Lake Palourde RoadAmelia, LA 70340February 11, 2013The Honorable Paul Naquin500 Main StreetFranklin, LA 70538 Dear Parish President Naquin:As a business and property owner in St. Mary Parish Istrenuously oppose the passing of the UnifiedDevelopment Code (“the Code”) at this time.To begin with, the Code has only come to the attentionof the public in the last month or so. The public is sounaware of the Code that only a couple of people,including myself, attended the last council meeting. Onewould think that because the Code has been underdevelopment since 2010, that presentation to thecommunity would have been well planned andexecuted. To the contrary, discussions with severalpeople reveal that the council only recently becameaware of it! How can something so important to the50,000 plus residents of our parish be rushed to a votebefore we even have time to fully understand it? Please take your time to consider this Code, to give thepublic and business community time to review,understand, and comment. From what I have reviewedthus far, I am against the Code as it unduly restrictsdevelopment and places added expenses upon yourconstituents. Thank you for taking the time to understand the

W A S H I N G T O N(AP) — The case ofArmy Sgt. BoweBergdahl, held bythe Taliban since2009, has arisenagain as the U.S.and other countriesengage in diplomat-ic efforts to freehim.

But if he isreleased, will Amer-ica’s only prisonerof the Afghan warbe viewed as a heroor a deserter?

While tatteredyellow ribbons stilladorn utility polesin his native Hailey,Idaho, others areexpressing conflict-ing thoughts aboutBergdahl’s plight asthe war windsdown, with Presi-dent Barack Obamathreatening to with-draw all U.S. troopsby year ’s end unlessthe Afghan govern-ment signs a crucialsecurity agreement.

They are con-vinced that on June30, 2009, just a fewmonths after hearrived inA f g h a n i s t a n ,Bergdahl willinglywalked away fromhis unit, which wasdeployed in Paktikaprovince in easternAfghanistan, adja-cent to the borderwith Pakistan.While they do wantBergdahl home,they think heshould have toanswer allegationsthat he deserted hisunit.

Bergdahl was lastseen in a video theTaliban released inDecember.

At this year ’sGrammys, celebri-ties were pho-tographed wearingBowe bracelets. Inthe past two years,billboards withBergdahl’s facehave popped up inmajor cities. Oneshows a smilingBergdahl, in anArmy uniform, withthe message: “Hefought for us. ...Let’s fight for him!”

A transcript ofradio intercepts,publicly releasedthrough Wikileaks,indicates thatBergdahl, then 23,was captured whilesitting in amakeshift latrine.

“We were attack-ing the post he wassitting,” accordingto a radio interceptof a conversationamong insurgents.“He had no gunwith him. ... Theyhave all (the) Amer-icans, ANA (AfghanNational Army),helicopters, theplanes are lookingfor him. Can youguys make a videoof him andannounce it all overAfghanistan that wehave one of theAmericans?”

Rolling Stonemagazine quoted

emails Bergdahl issaid to have sent tohis parents thatsuggest he was dis-illusioned withAmerica’s missionin Afghanistan, hadlost faith in theU.S. Army’s missionthere and was con-sidering desertion.

Bergdahl told hisparents he was“ashamed to even beA m e r i c a n . ”Bergdahl, whomailed home boxescontaining his uni-form and books,also wrote: “Thefuture is too good towaste on lies. Andlife is way too shortto care for thedamnation of oth-ers, as well as tospend it helpingfools with theirideas that arewrong.”

The AssociatedPress could noti n d e p e n d e n t l yauthenticate theemails published bythe magazine in2012. Bergdahl’sfamily has not com-mented on the alle-gations of desertion,according to Col.Tim Marsano, aspokesman for theIdaho NationalGuard. Marsano isin regular contactwith Bergdahl’smother, Jani, andfather, Bob, whohas grown a long,thick beard and hasworked to learnPashto, the lan-guage spoken by hisson’s captors.

A senior DefenseDepartment officialsaid that ifBergdahl isreleased, it could bedetermined that hehas more than paidfor leaving his unit— if that’s whatreally happened —“and there’s everyindicator that hedid.”

Still, it’s a conun-drum for command-ers under the Uni-form Code of Mili-tary Justice and theequal application ofthe law, accordingto the official, whospoke on conditionof anonymitybecause he was notauthorized to pub-licly discuss theBergdahl case.

Eugene R. Fidell,who teaches mili-tary justice at YaleLaw School, said ifthere is evidencethat Bergdahl lefthis unit withoutpermission, hecould be chargedwith being absentwithout leave(AWOL) or deser-tion.

Desertion duringa time of war cancarry the deathpenalty. But Con-gress never passeda declaration of warwith respect toAfghanistan, andneither PresidentGeorge W. Bush norPresident Barack

Obama has deter-mined that U.S.military operationsin Afghanistanmake this a “time ofwar” for the purpos-es of the UniformCode of MilitaryJustice, Fidell said.

Were Bergdahl tobe charged withdesertion, the maxi-mum penalty hewould face is fiveyears in prison anda dishonorable dis-charge, if it’s provedthat he desertedwith the intent toavoid hazardousduty or to shirkimportant service. Acase of AWOL,ended by the U.S.apprehending him,would not requireproof that heintended to remainaway permanently.The maximum pun-ishment for thatwould be a dishon-orable dischargeand 18 months’ con-finement, he said.

“Someone is goingto have to make adecision, based on apreliminary investi-gation, as towhether this is adesertion or AWOLrather than simplyhaving the bad luckto have fallen intothe wrong hands,”Fidell said.

“The commandcan say ‘This fellowhas been living interrible conditions.We don’t approve ofwhat he did butwe’re not going toprosecute him,’” hesaid. “Or, the mili-tary could prosecutehim as a way of sig-naling to othersthat ‘Look, you can’tsimply go over thehill.’ ... It’s quite aninteresting set ofissues that willhave to beaddressed as a mat-ter of both policyand law.”

Desertion can bedifficult to prove,said Ret. Maj. Gen.John Altenburg Jr.,a Washington attor-ney who served 28years as a lawyer inthe Army.

“There has to besome evidence thathe intended neverto come back — thathe intended toremain away fromhis unit permanent-ly,” Altenburg said.

“I don’t know ifthey’ll charge himwith anything. Itwill depend on thecircumstances of hisreturn and what hehas to say.”

Mary Schantag,chairman of theP.O.W. Network, aneducational non-profit group found-ed in 1989, said it’sfutile to speculate.“He is an Americansoldier in enemyhands. Period.Bring him home,”she said.

Rep. DuncanHunter, a memberof the House ArmedServices Committeeand former Marinewho served twotours in Iraq andone in Afghanistan,agreed.

“It’s hard to imag-ine any circum-stance where hiscaptivity won’t beviewed as timeserved,” saidHunter, R-Calif.“The first order ofbusiness is securinghis release and Idon’t think it doesan ounce of good tobegin contemplatingthat far ahead whenthe focus is on get-

ting him home.”Chrissy Marsaglia

and her husband,ex-Marines fromoutside Seattle wholaunched a bringBowe home projectin 2012, don’t spec-ulate about thedetails of his cap-ture or efforts torelease him. Theyjust want him

home. Throughdonations, the smallgroup has worked toraise awareness ofBergdahl’s captivityon more than 90billboards in U.S.cities.

“Every day, wemeet people whodon’t know abouthim,” she said.
