Grand Opening & Ribbon Cutting Set for September 13 Brookville has a proud brewing history dating back to the 1800s, when local breweries like the North Fork and Spring Brewery served the community. That tradition has been waiting to be revived… until now. After more than a century, Brookville once again has a hometown brewery. Please join us and raise a glass to Temerity Aleworks! The Brookville Area Chamber of Commerce will officially welcome Temerity Aleworks, located at 98 Service Center Road, Brookville, PA, with a Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony on Saturday, September 13, 2025 at 3:50pm, followed by the official Grand Opening celebration at 4pm. Guests will enjoy food from Bill Yum’s Good Eats food truck and live acoustic music from Amanda James and Sean Hook. Temerity means excessive confidence or boldness; audacity, a fitting reflection of the founders’ approach to brewing. Temerity Aleworks embraces traditional European beer styles with fearless creativity, inviting the community to experience beer “the way it was intended.” Founders Kevin and Jamie focus on English, German, and Belgian traditions, brewing beer with uncompromising attention to detail and respect for the craft. Using water science, yeast selection, and time-honored fermentation techniques, they strive to present light, crisp ales and lagers to rich, robust porters and stouts, creating classic flavors that invite everyone, even those unsure about craft beer, to savor the artistry in every pour. At over 8,000 square feet, the brewery and taproom is designed to bring people together, not just to enjoy beer. From live music and events to indoor cornhole, a pinball arcade, and food trucks, Temerity Aleworks is creating a versatile space for the community to gather, connect, and celebrate. While the brewery does not serve food in-house, guests can enjoy a variety of local food trucks to ensure their visit offers something delicious to pair with their carefully crafted beers. “We want to represent traditional styles of beer and open conversations about craft brewing, even for people who think they don’t like craft beer,” said co-owner Jamie. “Our goal is to make Temerity Aleworks a place where everyone feels welcome.” The opening of Temerity Aleworks is more than just the launch of a new business. It marks the return of an important part of Brookville’s heritage, while also creating a vibrant destination for both locals and visitors.

August 13, 2025 Author: Penn Highlands Healthcare Penn Highlands DuBois recently marked a major milestone — 200 patients treated for Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) — a significant achievement in the fight against a potentially life-threatening condition that affects more than 1 million Americans each year. VTE occurs when blood clots form in the deep veins of the body, most commonly in the legs or arms. When these clots develop in the legs, the condition is known as Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT). DVT can cause leg pain, swelling, redness, and—if untreated—can lead to post-thrombotic syndrome, resulting in long-term complications. “Clots can form for a variety of reasons, including prolonged immobility such as long-distance travel or recovery after surgery,” said Stephen Iorfido, DO, a board-certified interventional radiologist at Penn Highlands DuBois. “Risk factors include smoking, certain medications like contraceptive pills, and underlying medical conditions like cancer.” If a DVT is not addressed, the clot can travel to the lungs, causing a Pulmonary Embolism (PE)—a dangerous and potentially fatal complication. PE can result in shortness of breath, chest pain, elevated heart rate, fainting, and sudden changes in blood pressure. Alarmingly, PE is the third leading cause of cardiovascular death, behind heart attack and stroke, claiming the lives of approximately 180,000 people in the U.S. each year. The Interventional Radiology Team at Penn Highlands DuBois has been at the forefront of advanced, minimally invasive treatment for VTE. Using the FlowTriever Thrombectomy System, the team safely removes blood clots from the lungs of patients with intermediate- and high-risk PE without the need for thrombolytic drugs. The procedure involves guiding a catheter through the groin directly to the lungs, where clots are aspirated and removed – frequently providing immediate symptom relief. For patients with DVT, the ClotTriever device is used to extract clots from the legs with similar effectiveness. Patients typically experience prompt pain and swelling relief. They often are able to return home in one to two days. This milestone reflects not only the team’s clinical excellence but also their unwavering commitment to improving patient outcomes across the region. The Interventional Radiology Team at Penn Highlands Healthcare provides advanced treatments for many conditions such as vascular diseases, cancer, men’s health and women’s health.

Penn Highlands Brookville, Penn Highlands Clearfield, Penn Highlands Connellsville, Penn Highlands DuBois, Penn Highlands Elk, Penn Highlands Huntingdon, Penn Highlands Mon Valley, Penn Highlands Tyrone have served area communities for the past 100+ years.

June 30, 2025 Author: Brookville Chamber At the Brookville Area Chamber of Commerce, we strive to keep our members and community informed about legislation that could affect our economy, culture, and way of life. One such proposal currently in discussion is House Bill 1659, a bipartisan bill introduced in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives that could change the way regular firearms deer season is scheduled across the state. Under current rules, the regular firearms deer season opens statewide on the Saturday after Thanksgiving—a change made by the PA Game Commission in 2019. Before that, the opener had traditionally been the Monday after Thanksgiving, with the intent to give hunters more time to prepare, travel, and enjoy time at camp. House Bill 1659 proposes a geographically split start to the season: The goal is to offer a compromise: honor tradition in the north, while maintaining expanded access for weekend hunters in the south. Possible Pros & Cons From the Hunter’s Perspective: Potential Benefits of Saturday Opener: Potential Concerns: From the Local Business Perspective: Potential Benefits of Saturday Opener: Potential Concerns: We Want to Hear From You! Do you own or work for a business affected by hunting season? Are you a hunter with strong feelings about the opener? We want to know: Please share your input! Your thoughts will help us better understand how this legislation could affect our area and assist in representing your voice in ongoing conversations.
