1234 56789 10111213 IDIOT by Peter Trenchi 14 15 16 Delugional 17 18 19 Everybody talks about the weather. Ordinarily, that keeps me from saying anything weather-related. Our recent weather has not been ordi- 20 21 22 nary. Most reasonable people tend to agree now that our changed weather patt erns are infl uenced by the increased amount of atmospheric carbon (generally carbon dioxide released from combusting fossil fuels). Scien- 23 24 25 tists have tried to raise awareness of potential impacts from increased atmospheric carbon for at least 25 years. Although the carbon stored as 26 27 28 29 30 31 “fossil” fuels did exist previously as atmospheric carbon, it was before humans and most of the other currently existing species had evolved. 32 33 34 35 Add to that the geologic fact that the position of current landmasses and oceans was diff erent the fi rst time all of this atmospheric carbon was present, and one must accept that we face a completely unprecedented 36 37 38 climatic situation. How did we get into this situation? Th e fi rst energy crisis to befall 39 40 41 western civilization was a fuel-wood crisis, which led to the development of coal resources as a source of fuel and pollution. Petroleum entered the picture when the British Navy was searching for batt leship fuel that didn’t 42 43 44 require their coal-fi red steamships to return to England to refuel. So, they found plentiful petroleum in the Middle East in lands occupied by loosely 45 46 47 48 49 confederated individuals who appeared to be easily subdued by large numbers of soldiers with superior fi rearms. eTh rest, as they say, is his- 50 51 52 53 54 tory. As a globally collective culture of comfort-seeking entrepreneurial engineers, we humans have created an elaborate mix of energy subsidized infrastructures. Th e majority of that energy is derived by spilling carbon 55 56 57 dioxide into the atmosphere during combustion. For those who are off ended by the word “spilling,” I am reminded 58 59 60 of an encounter I had nearly two decades ago with a group of environ- mental educators. We were discussing the Exxon Valdez and I had just observed, “Th e moment we brought that oil out of the ground, it was our 61 62 63 intention to spill it …” And I could see the lynch mob forming up with torches and pitchforks, until I added, “… out our tailpipes.” Th en they understood. Our situation today is not appreciably diff erent. All of the reasonably available fossil fuels will be ultimately converted to carbon ACROSS DOWN 35.

Wedding Fever Anyone who’s seen my Facebook page recently knows our family just celebrated a wedding. Th e party ended weeks ago, but if you’ve been through one yourself in the last few years, you’ll know it takes a while for the adrenaline to die down. So, a few musings on weddings, a book about holding one, and a question for you, dear reader. Remember when a wedding reception meant cake and punch at the parish hall with maybe a few fi nger-foods prepared by the women of the church? Now it’s standard to provide a full-course, sit-down dinner for every single guest, and if there’s not an open bar waiting the moment everyone arrives at the reception, there bett er be a good explanation. No wonder weddings take so long to plan. My son, possibly the most orga- nized male on the planet, gave me the guidebook “Mother of the Groom: Everything You Need to Know to Enjoy the Best Wedding Ever” by Sharon Naylor (author of such helps as “Your Special Wedding Toasts” and “1,000 Best Tips for Your Perfect Wedding”). Marshall presented A cott age on the MSSA tour. me the book a good 16 months before the fact. And he was right: he and his bride needed every one of those months to nail down all the details. It’s easy for me to poke fun at the work Marshall and Shannon put into their wedding. James and I didn’t even have a wedding rehearsal (it End-of-Season Events at Monteagle was fl ooded out), and the shopping expedition for my wedding dress consisted of me trying to fi gure out how to balance the dress bag so I could bike home. Th e actual purchase took less than an hour. I didn’t Sunday School Assembly realize the importance of details back then.

Wendling excelled in track and fi eld events and in the swimming pool. He earned gold medals in the long jump, pole vault and 50-meter dash; silver medals in high jump and triple jump; and bronze medals in discus and javelin. At the swim center, Wendling earned gold medals when he set two new state records in the 50-yard breaststroke and 50-yard butt erfl y. He also earned silver medals in the 50-yard backstroke, 50-yard freestyle, 100-yard backstroke and 100-yard individual medley. Wendling will participate in the National Senior Olympics scheduled for July 19–Aug. 1 in Cleveland, Ohio. Marcia Medford earned a silver medal in shot put and bronze in javelin. She also competed in the soft ball throw. Larry Sims played with two teammates from Chatt anooga in the 3-on-3 basketball competition, and they earned a bronze medal. Medford, Mark Davis and Wendling played pickleball in the state meet, but did not earn a medal. All enjoyed the experience and hope to see more Sewanee Seniors participat- ing in the future.

Presbycusis, the hearing loss associated with aging, results from changes in the inner ear that may be caused by reduced blood supply, blood circulation disorders or nerve damage. However, it is the loss of hair cells that line the inner ear that causes the actual hearing loss. These cells register vibrations created by sound waves and transmit the impulses to the hearing nerve. The damage to these hair cells can be hastened by noise exposure, heart disease and certain medications.
If you have tried everything to deal with hearing loss on your own—shouting, turning up the volume, avoiding conversations and withdrawing from social situations—now try an audiologist. At THE HEARING CENTER LLC, we have advanced education and training to understand and diagnose your loss, state-of-the-art equipment to test your hearing and the very latest in hearing instruments to cor- rect your hearing impairment. We are located at 705B Northwest Atlantic Street, Tullahoma. Call (931) 393-2051 to schedule a hearing evaluation. All fittings carry a 45-day trial period.
