It’s common to blame joint pain flare-ups on changes in the weather, and many doctors believe people can feel more joint pain on cold, rainy days. However, the research on the connection between the two isn’t clear.
How Weather May Affect Joints

At night, the lighted Mega tree reflects on Berger Lake. Thank you to Chamber members Nancy and Brad Snyder for erecting the tree each year. Nearly six-foot-tall stars flank the tree to give a soft warmth to the scene.

UPMC Cardiologist: Improve Heart Health By Reducing Stress This Holiday Season
Thomas Scott, D.O.
Cardiologist, UPMC Heart & Vascular Institute
The holiday season is right around the corner, a time packed full of gift-giving, shopping extravaganzas, parties, and activities galore. While this season is meant to bring feelings of love and cheer, it can also be one of the most stressful times, putting added strain on your heart.
Stress is a part of life, and everyone responds to stress a little differently. While stress itself is not going to set you up for heart disease, your behavior and the way you deal with stress can play a role in heart health. When you experience stress, your body releases cortisol and adrenaline to initiate the “fight or flight” response. This reaction gives you a burst of energy and strength to fight off or run away from a perceived threat. But if stress is always present and the body is constantly preparing to fight or flee, that elevated cortisol level can lead to anxiety, difficulty sleeping, and weight gain. It also can lead indirectly to high blood pressure, which is a risk factor for heart disease and stroke.

Smethport Christmas Ride Was A “WOW.”
What can we say about our Christmas Ride other than “WOW”. You guys were awesome. The lights and decorations were just amazing.
We need to surely thank everyone that helped pull this off. Our committee that helps organize it all. All of you that made cookies, donated our paper products, coffee and hot Choclate. Dunkin donuts for the donuts. Our Judges, I surely wouldn’t have wanted to have their job.
Our prizes were donated by Mckean Co E-Sales, Leah Frederick and Nancy Rathbun (Howard Hannan) Myrnas Mercantile, Buchanan Brothers and Kathryn Taylor. The firehall and fire police, the Crosby help that came to direct traffic. Tom Huntoon for the great pictures. My neighbor, who is one of the best, our Sheriff, Dan Woods. Boro council for allowing this to happen and our very own favorite policeman Kevin Robert Murray and Brian Swanson.
Solomons Word, WESB, and the Bradford Era for getting the word out there. Your generous donations for Mckean County Children’s Advocacy Center of McKean County and Smethport Food Bank amounted to $502. Giving each $251. What a way of spreading that Christmas Cheer.
If our calculations are right, we may have ridden over 8 miles. Hope I didn’t forget anyone. Lastly, a huge shout out to the 90+ machines we had and for making our 2023 ride something we will remember for a long time. See you next year. (Or earlier) Thank you again.
