Causer to Seek Re-Election to State House
BRADFORD – State Representative Marty Causer (R-Cameron/McKean/Potter) has announced he will seek re-election to continue his service to the people of the 67th Legislative District in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives.
“Now more than ever, the rural perspective needs to be heard loud and clear at the state capitol. I am the experienced leader to deliver that message and get results for our district,” Causer said. “I am committed to fighting for our schools, jobs, health care and Second Amendment rights. I am equally committed to standing against the higher taxes, unconstitutional mandates and bigger government that are holding our state and region back.”
Recognizing the impact higher energy costs are having on people’s day-to-day expenses, Causer is using his role as Republican Chairman of the House Environmental Resources and Energy Committee to fight back against unfounded attacks on the energy industry and advocate for responsible use of the region’s natural resources as a means to grow jobs and economic opportunity locally and across the state.
“Pennsylvania can be an energy powerhouse if given the opportunity to grow,” Causer said. “Capitalizing on this opportunity is vital to the future of our state and nation.”
PennDOT Announces Start of Highway Restoration on Route 646 Between Ormsby & Cyclone in McKean County
Clearfield, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced the start of a highway restoration project on Route 646 in Keating Township, McKean County.

Preliminary survey work started yesterday, March 4. PennDOT urges drivers to watch for surveyors in the roadway, exercise caution in this and all work zones, obey posted speed limits, and always buckle up.

UPMC Physician: Is It a Cold, Sinus Infection, Allergies, or Something More?
Jeremy Reed, M.D., M.P.H.
Otolaryngology, UPMC
Winter is the prime season for colds, seasonal viruses, and sinus infections, but few people consider that their stuffy head, sneezing, or runny nose could be allergies. Given how similar their symptoms are, it’s not easy to tell the difference between these illnesses or how to treat them.
While these illnesses may look the same to you, different things cause each of these illnesses. Here’s how you can tell them apart.
Common Cold
According to the CDC, each year adults get one cold on average. Children get two colds on average. You can get a cold when a respiratory virus attacks your immune system. Respiratory viruses spread when an infected person coughs or sneezes. Several types of respiratory viruses cause colds, with Rhinoviruses being one of the most common. Fever is often a symptom of colds and viral infections that are not associated with allergies. Colds can be treated at home with rest, hydration, and taking over-the-counter medications for symptom management. Most colds subside within seven days.
Sinus Infection

Freshman Kaden Ware of Brooklyn, Connecticut, ended sixth at 133, while junior Noah Hunt of Muncy at 141 and freshman Travis Green of Manchester, Maryland, at 165 both were eighth. It was the first time in program history that two freshmen reached the podium in the same regional.

Ware completed a 2-2 tournament and a 33-12 season, Hunt was 3-3 at regionals and 31-12 overall, and Green was 3-3 at regionals and 36-17 overall.

(NOTE: Season records are based on information from the NCAA Mideast Regional website).
