KEARNEY – Jan Moore proudly calls herself a “Shriners kid.” It’s been 45 years since she was under the care of the Shriners Hospitals for Children, but to her the title is a lifelong badge representing the sense of optimism families receive from the nonprofit organization. “It’s important that people know the children they’re supporting, they grow up and become people just like me,” Moore said. The 61-year-old has accomplished a lot over the past four decades – earning a doctorate degree, studying as a Fulbright scholar in Canada and becoming a wife and mother – but her life basically began in a Shriners Hospital. “The Shriners were a constant presence in my childhood,” said Moore, a professor in the University of Nebraska at Kearney’s Department of Communication Disorders. “I have no childhood memory that doesn’t include them.” Moore was born with proximal femoral focal deficiency, a rare congenital disorder that affects about 1 in every 200,000 children. The birth de...

As a speech pathologist, my job is communication. As a person with both deafness and hearing impairment in my family, I am reminded daily of the frustrations that accompany hearing loss. All too often in our rushed world we hurry along, speaking rapidly, walking rapidly and multitasking. This can leave the hearing-impaired person behind, regardless of age or intellect. Like deafness, hearing impairment is a hidden handicap. Unless there are cues such as sign language, a cochlear implant or visible hearing aids, we may assume that the person understands a conversation, especially if his speech is intelligible. One might encounter a hearing-impaired person on a professional or a personal level. We might be selling him a house or giving her a medical diagnosis. Here are some simple, easy guidelines that might help the public communicate more effectively. 1. Look at the person that you are talking to. 2. Speak at a normal rate, not rapid, but not turtle-like. 3. Do not yell. 4. As...

CLOSE Bubble tea, ravioli and gelato were among the most delicious tastes of the month. Polly Campbell, pcampbell@enquirer.com Greg Scott just wanted to find a quiet place to eat. Because he has a hearing impairment, it was practically impossible for him to find a restaurant in New York City where he could comfortably carry on a conversation. Being able to search ahead of time for noise ratings of restaurants would have been helpful, but he couldn't find anything. "It's frustrating. It takes an enormous amount of concentration for me to listen in public places, " said Scott.  So, he decided to crowd-source it. He created an app that allowed a lot of people to take noise levels at restaurants and other public places and share them. That app, SoundPrint , started with New York, expanded to include other cities and is now available in Cincinnati.  Most of its users are not hearing impaired. They're just looking for a place to relax, eat and t...

RANDOLPH, Mass. (AP) — Born to the same mother and adopted at birth by the same family, David and Bobby DeLosa always wondered whether they had any other biological siblings. They heard rumblings of maybe having a brother, but for decades they couldn't say for sure. That is until this past February, when a DNA test and some Facebook investigating led David DeLosa to discover that he and Bobby did in fact have a brother — nine of them, actually, plus a sister, three half-brothers and three half-sisters adding up to a whopping total of 16 siblings. "It was crazy and overwhelming," Bobby DeLosa said, recalling the day his brother called him to share the news that he had found some of their siblings. David and Bobby DeLosa continued their journey of meeting and connecting with their siblings, cousins, nieces, nephews, uncles and in-laws on Saturday at a reunion hosted by their brother, Billy Haley, at his Randolph home. Since first meeting some of their siblings in Februa...

Drake, right, jaws at Golden State's Draymond Green. (Nathan Denette/The Canadian Press via AP) Des Bieler Sports reporter covering national topics, including fantasy football, as well as supporting coverage of D.C.-area teams May 31 at 1:42 AM If that was a toned-down version of the Toronto Raptors’ foremost fan, what happens when he decides to disregard the NBA’s advice? As it was, Drake went full Drake in Thursday’s Game 1 of the Finals . At least the hip-hop superstar didn’t rub Raptors Coach Nick Nurse’s shoulders again, as he did during the Eastern Conference finals, causing some consternation . However, Thursday found Drake invading the personal space of Stephen Curry, when he picked something out of the hair of the Golden State Warriors guard. In fairness, Curry, whose Warriors are trying to deny the Raptors their first NBA title, came over to Drake to have a chat during a timeout. A similar but decidedly more contentious scene played out as the game ende...

By Miranda Faulkner | Cronkite News Thursday, May 30, 2019 WASHINGTON – A federal appeals court Thursday ordered a new hearing for environmental groups trying to ban the use of lead shot in Kaibab National Forest that they said poses a threat to endangered California condors. A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said a district court was wrong to reject the lawsuit – for a second time – that claimed the U.S. Forest Service was “contributing to … disposal” of dangerous solid waste by not banning lead ammunition. “We are hoping the ultimate outcome will be that they will create a policy that states that hunters have to use non-lead ammunition,” said Kelly Burke, executive director of the Grand Canyon Wildlands Council, one of the groups that filed the suit. Calls seeking comment from attorneys for the government and for hunting groups that opposed the suit were not immediately returned Thursday. The case began in 2012 when the Wildlands Council, the Sierra...

From newborns to adults, hearing loss affects Americans of all ages—but early intervention and treatment are routinely not occurring despite the potentially serious impact that hearing loss can have on a person’s life. Speech-Language & Hearing Associates of Medfield and Plainville encourages the public to learn the signs of hearing loss and seek an evaluation if they have concerns—a timely message since last month was recognized nationally as Better Hearing & Speech Month. About 2 to 3 out of every 1,000 children in the United States are born with a detectable level of hearing loss in one or both ears; almost 15 percent of children ages 6–19 have hearing loss in one or both ears; and approximately 15% of American adults (37.5 million) ages 18 and older report some trouble hearing, according to government data. Although nearly all newborns are getting their hearing screened, many who are flagged with a potential hearing problem are not getting the follow-up care that they ne...

When federal lawmakers legalized hemp last year, they opened the floodgates to hundreds of companies focused largely on a single molecule in the plant: cannabidiol, or CBD . Now, with thousands of products on the market, from infused enemas to espresso, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is preparing to craft regulations around the cannabinoid. At a public hearing that kicks off Friday morning, the agency will hear from dozens of experts and interested citizens. That testimony will help shape FDA policies that could govern everything from CBD quality and labeling standards to infused food and beverages. Revised research rules could even help identify the next groundbreaking cannabis-based medication. Ahead of the hearing, Leafly news editors are breaking down where things currently stand on CBD and what could change going forward. Why the fuss about an FDA hearing? After 80+ years of treating all cannabis products as dangerous, illegal, and highly addictive drugs, the FDA h...
