PUNXSUTAWNEY — Some people may jokingly say you're dizzy — an indication that you are scatterbrained — but in reality, dizziness can be a very serious malady that can cause people to lose much of their mobility.
Dr. Timothy C. Hain, MD, of Northwestern University Medical School, Chicago Ill., and the Vestibular Disorders Association, wrote that benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is the most common disorder of the inner ear’s vestibular system, which is a vital part of maintaining balance.
BELL TOWNSHIP — If you would like to rise to a higher plane, then you'll have that chance Sunday when the 14th annual Airport Awareness Day will be held at the Punxsutawney Municipal Airport in Bell Township.
"The purpose of this special day is to increase the public's awareness as to how the airport is a benefit to the community," said Larry Straitiff, who operates a flight school at the airport.
Sraitiff said the airport authority wants people to become aware of the high amount of usage that takes place at the airport.
