Economic Development (DCED) visited Berwick and Lewisburg today to tout investments from the Shapiro-Davis Administration to revitalize the communities’ downtowns and support local small businesses through the new Main Street Matters program “I’m thrilled that the Coblentz Corner Project – which is receiving nearly $700,000 in state funding – isn’t just about rehabbing an old building,” said Davis “It’s about investing in the young people of Berwick and northeastern Pennsylvania Governor Shapiro and I want every Pennsylvania community to be a place where businesses can grow and young people can thrive.” Community Strategies Group is receiving a $678,062 Main Street Matters grant for the Coblentz Corner Project which will rehab a blighted building in the heart of the new Berwick Arts District into a teen center and entrepreneurial academy “Coblentz Corner simultaneously culminates more than 15 years of collaborative incremental momentum in Berwick and serves as a catalyst for the Downtown’s next 15 years,” said Rich Kisner executive director of Community Strategies Group “Funding these types of projects in rural communities like Berwick is very challenging but Main Street Matters is the kind of program that can change the entire scope of what’s possible.” a revitalization and leadership initiative that serves as a catalyst for creating sustainable communities in the

supporting small businesses to gathering for festivals and celebrating arts and culture our Main Street is where connection happens The Main Street Matters investment in infrastructure will enhance the experience for residents and visitors alike while the business improvement grants will serve as powerful catalysts for continued economic growth and revitalization.” the Shapiro-Davis

applications requesting more than $43 million underscoring the demand for strategic investments in Main Streets across Pennsylvania The Shapiro-Davis 2025-26 budget proposal includes another $20 million for this successful initiative Severe storms are possible in Maine this afternoon Damaging winds and hail are the biggest threats NORTH BERWICK (WGME) -- A fire tower in New Hampshire helped spot a fire in Maine that burned several acres in North Berwick Friday Responders showed up and found a brush fire burning in a field North Berwick's fire chief says the fire started out as two-acre fire burning between six to eight acres of the field He says it likely started from a fire that wasn't even started Friday but instead previously started and refueled by Friday's winds This time of year is also when fires like this become more likely “We need to look at not only what's happening today with fire danger but also what's coming in the next few days,” North Berwick Fire Chief Ryan Babcock said we're going to have a 75 degree day tomorrow and it's not going to help the dryness of the covering on the ground.” Officials urge people to be mindful of the weather and remind them that conditions can change quickly Governor Austin Davis visited Berwick and Lewisburg on Wednesday to emphasize the Shapiro administration's dedication to revitalizing downtown areas and supporting small businesses the administration distributed $20 million in grants through the Main Street Matters program The Berwick Arts District is set to receive nearly $700,000 to transform a blighted building into a teen center and entrepreneurial academy "This Main Street Matters grant is the funding this project needed to move forward Pennsylvania's main streets are often windows into our past but Governor Shapiro and I firmly believe they can be the engines of our future," said Lt The Main Street Matters initiative received over 200 applications with requests totaling more than $43 million Big changes are underway in Berwick, PA: Berwick Brewing Company, a beloved local institution known for its traditional lagers, riverside biergarten, and unpretentious charm, is officially up for sale After decades of dedication to brewing and the hospitality industry owner Tom Clark has announced his plans to retire opening a new chapter for the brewery — and an exciting opportunity for its future owners Berwick Brewing Company first opened its doors in 2008 housed in a 14,000-square-foot historic building along the Susquehanna River the brewery established itself as a place that valued craftsmanship over flash Known for its commitment to classic German-style lagers Berwick Brewing offered a refreshing contrast to the hoppy trend dominating much of the American craft beer scene The sprawling brewery space — featuring a massive taproom and a pizza kitchen — quickly became a community favorite It was the kind of place where you could find old friends catching up over pints hear live music echoing off the brick walls or enjoy a riverside sunset with a freshly poured lager Berwick Brewing earned a loyal following over the years and although it remained somewhat of a hidden gem outside of Northeast Pennsylvania those who visited often became lifelong fans As a 2024 review in Casket Beer put it: “Berwick Brewing reminds us what drinking beer should be about — simple pleasures and world-class lagers served without pretense.” The heart and soul of Berwick Brewing is Tom Clark a seasoned brewer whose journey in the beer industry spans more than four decades Clark built a career rich with experiences in both brewing and running bars sharpening his skills and developing the traditionalist brewing philosophy that would define Berwick’s lineup Clark feels it’s time to hand over the reins “After 40 years in the industry it’s time to retire Fully equipped ongoing operation ready for an ambitious and motivated group to step in.” The brewery, listed through Century 21 Covered Bridges Realty includes the brewery’s full brewing system and additional commercial potential with warehouse and event space The listing describes Berwick Brewing as a “fully operational ongoing business” — meaning new owners could step in and continue brewing almost immediately Given the loyal customer base and the strong foundation Clark has built there’s tremendous potential for expansion and evolution while preserving the spirit of what has made Berwick Brewing special While it’s bittersweet to see the end of Tom Clark’s era at Berwick Brewing the sale also offers a thrilling possibility: new energy and the chance for someone to build upon an already strong legacy For the Berwick community — and fans of honest well-made beer — there’s hope that the brewery will continue to thrive under new stewardship Whoever steps in will not just be purchasing a brewery; they’ll be inheriting a piece of local history and a tradition of brewing excellence rooted in craftsmanship As the next chapter of Berwick Brewing begins one thing is certain: Tom Clark’s impact on Pennsylvania beer — and on everyone who ever pulled up a stool at the brewery — will be lasting

Weather Alerts provided by WillyWeather Courtesy of Berwick Film & Media Arts Festival Its remarkable hybrid spirit may well be shaped by the town’s own complex geographical history sits just a few miles from the Scottish border and has been traded more than a dozen times between England and Scotland in a centuries-long political and economic tug-of-war the festival turns its gaze toward the historic violence embedded in the town’s very foundations When I spoke to festival director Peter Taylor he pointed out the complexity of the town’s history: the King’s Own Scottish Borderers were stationed in Berwick but served as colonial forces abroad including in historic Palestine during the British Mandate and across Southeast Asia in Singapore and Myanmar during the Second World War The festival found meaningful exchange within such contradictions by programming its Fanon Focus series within the new Barracks cinema housed in what was once the mob store of the first purpose-built military barracks in the UK.  Other venues also pay homage to the political activists who have shaped the town which was set up by a Christian minister who was a pacifist and environmental activist contained the 100 Strings exhibition featuring short filmic gestures made in homage to Palestinian poet Refaat Alarer who was killed by an Israeli airstrike last year As the festival moves beyond its teenage years it looks to the future by reflecting on the prismatic and fragmentary nature of the past through a program of 63 films The films were divided into five strands: the New Cinema Awards; the Focus program; Propositions which showcases new works incorporating performative elements; and Essential Cinema a reparative strand dedicated to reviving overlooked archival films Rather than simply spotlighting peripheral histories the program confronted the inevitable gaps It asks how cinema might not only recover but also re-stage these absences Many of the featured works explore the body’s mnemonic capacities—how gesture or reimagine how to engage with the unknowable Unlike the series’ earlier documentary works, Underground adopts a more overtly fictional and speculative approach blending fiction and nonfiction to explore the role of caves (gamas) during the Battle of Okinawa.  The film traces the archipelago’s history through two central characters: dancer and artist Nao Yoshigai and the cave guide Mitsuo Matsunaga Matsunaga composes almost all the dialogue of the film recounting the accounts of survivors who hid in gamas when American forces arrived on the island His account shifts in registers: from a more distanced third-person objective account recounting the mass suicide in the Chibichiri Gama to a harrowing retelling of the survivor Toshie Asato’s testimony with details of her child dying due to starvation Matsunaga recounts these histories while guiding Yoshigai While his narration may initially resemble conventional documentary testimony his oscillation from an empirical narrative to the near embodiment of another person’s memory in his perfectly memorized performance transforms his own body into a conduit for collective memory.  The biggest difference from Gama is Yoshigai’s expanded role who counterposes the orality of Matsunaga as the film’s “shadow”—a silent phantasmagoric guide who moves slowly through these conflicted landscapes touching history quite literally with her hands: a cave wall fossils and human bones found on cave floors the shadow of her outstretched hand lingers across the knobbles and crags of stone laying her palm flat against the rock’s surface This gesture recalls the prehistoric tradition of negative hands cave art Where the negative hands are indexical vestiges of an inexplicable past Yoshigai’s shadow-hand marks her immediate corporeal presence the shadow-hand is marked via the elemental touch of light on celluloid—a temporally dense double imprint of Yoshigai’s presence. Underground negotiates with the past as living matter resonant and reactive within its subterranean spaces the arrival of light is always accompanied by its shadows.  London-based film curator Abiba Coulibaly’s lecture performance Black & Arab Encounters on Screen engages with performance through both its format and its content The performance examines the visionary possibilities and contradictions within the Pan-African movement from the late 1960s to the present day tracing strong lines of solidarity between Black and Arab anti-colonial struggles in the 1970s and their post-revolutionary fractures through a complex assemblage of archival clips ranging from newsreels to documentaries and TV dramas Coulibaly refers to the contradictions within some 21st-century cinematic encounters where Black characters are often stereotypically presented against their Arab counterparts two moments of conflict are particularly striking: in Tunisian domestic drama The Season of Men (2000) by feminist director Moufida Tlatli the Black female character is posited as a mute domestic worker The Algerian Woman of Dakar (2004)—a Fanonian allegory of radical Pan-African union—the union itself is troubled: the titular Algerian protagonist’s marriage to the Senegalese Souleymane is overshadowed by their first encounter The lecture concludes with British-Palestinian artist Mona Hatoum’s Roadworks (1985) a performance video shot on the vibrant streets of Brixton a historically Black and working-class neighborhood Hatoum slowly places one foot in front of the other historically worn both by UK police and by skinheads associated with racial violence anchor the performance in the charged context of the 1981 and 1985 Brixton uprisings and the systemic police repression in the area Hatoum’s laborious movements are coupled with frequent aerial surveillance-style shots to emphasize a state of control in which her body appears exposed and inhibited Coulibaly chooses to end her own performance with Hatoum’s cross-relational gesture of solidarity Tracing her own body’s ability to embody the ruptures of history Hatoum carries the autobiographical weight of exile as a displaced Palestinian denied the right to entry and movement in her homeland while also situating herself within the topographical logics of surveillance imposed on racialized bodies in south London.  the focus on American filmmaker and writer Ayanna Dozier’s work at the festival similarly foregrounds an embodied cartography of a New York City that no longer exists delineated through the movements of sex workers This focus particularly comes through in Dozier’s Super-8 short, Bounded Intimacy (2024) A voyeuristic bird’s-eye lens follows two women as they walk through Tribeca and Chelsea neighborhoods historically known for their “pay-for-play” hotels and sex clubs lacquered surfaces of a now-gentrified city Dozier attempts to excavate the erotic histories that linger beneath the city’s polished veneer.  the camera positions the viewer as an elevated voyeur Dozier complicates the power dynamics of looking: while the city surveils and suppresses the visible traces of sex work the power embedded in voyeurism is also reclaimed by the women themselves reflexive—stirring the scopophilic pleasure of the viewer The body as a linguistic tool is explored in the work of Japanese Deaf artist Eri Makihara whose films were shown outside of Asia for the first time at Berwick The festival marked this milestone with a Focus program dedicated to three of Makihara’s documentary and fiction work In her debut documentary Listen (2016) Makihara asks what it might mean to listen with the eyes and the body—a question that first emerged after she attended a sign language poetry workshop led by Shizue Sazawa where she was struck by the visual musicality of the form. Listen is a collaborative experiment in articulating what Makihara calls a “music for Deaf people” Co-directed by Makihara and Deaf Butoh dancer Dakei the film arose from extended conversations between the directors and their d/Deaf participants which push beyond hearing definitions of sound and resonance.  Makihara foregrounds the idea that d/Deaf music emerges from the body’s phenomenological attunement to the surrounding landscapes Across several musical performance sequences individual performers move expressively through striking landscapes—by the ocean Experiments with harmony unfold spatially: in one scene two performers engage in a kind of visual polyphony Makihara and Dakei also reconsider what music might mean in cinematic terms letting the performers’ movements unfold within it; at others blurring the landscape into a visual rhythm that matches the intensity of bodily gesture This dynamic choreography between camera and performer creates a sensory experience attuned a polyrhythmic movement The festival’s access measures for the Makihara Focus were commendable too – with two British Sign Language interpreters who respectively translated audience questions and Makihara’s response in Japanese Sign Language while also including English live-captioning on screen One of my most memorable cinematic experiences at this year’s festival was watching Robina Rose’s newly restored Nightshift (1981) in Berwick’s own Maltings Cinema which will soon close for renovations until 2027 It’s hard not to feel a tinge of sadness at the impending disappearance of the Maltings’ kitschy crystal chandeliers and regal red theatre which feel like a direct extension of the scarlet hotel lobby in the Portobello Hotel of Rose’s brilliant and wry experimental fiction film.  Sharing a kinship with Chantal Akerman’s Hôtel Monterey (1973), Nightshift similarly unfolds over the course of a single night in an oneiric place of passage and drift But where Akerman’s camera remains mostly observational its ghostly gaze detached and uninhabited, Nightshift often shares the perspective of the hotel’s night receptionist played by punk icon Jordan (AKA Pamela Rooke who is also the star of Derek Jarman’s Jubilee [1978]) eyes upturned beneath the glow of a shell-shaped lamp she watches the hotel’s peculiar procession: leather-clad young men Rose creates a comical divide between guests and workers She remains in restless attendance for those who drift up and down the elevator and wander dramatically down the stairs.  Hotel lobbies at night are magical meeting spaces for the inebriated somnambulist atmosphere is the unsettled corporeal movement of the guests They are untethered and reckless in a space where they have no history blabbing their entire intimate relationship history on the public telephone or ordering copious bottles of champagne throughout the night Rose’s film gestures towards Notting Hill in its multiplicity: as the center of London’s underground art scene as well as the inherited mansions of the landed gentry the film bears the ghosts not only of its inhabitants but also of a neighborhood that has become progressively more gentrified where the hotel now only refers to its Bohemian past as part of its nostalgic advertisement.  one is attuned to the potential of multiple bodies sharing a singular space With at most 300 people in each screening,  dialogue between filmmakers and writers emerges naturally between screenings These informal exchanges often carry the most urgency where the limits and possibilities of cinema are considered not just in terms of form the festival becomes less about spectacle and more about encounter but a condition that allows something rare to take shape: a space where attention lingers Cici Peng is a London-based film writer and film curator a film collective

quirky course that architecture nerds revered to a universally beloved mecca It’s becoming an annual tradition to see the world’s greatest golfers many of whom rarely leave player hospitality pushing their clubs around the West Links before the Scottish Open North Berwick’s design evolved gradually over its initial decades and it’s a must-visit during any golf trip to Scotland {{content-block-course-profile-north-berwick-golf-club-west-links-001}} Build some extra time into your itinerary for the town of North Berwick Take a walk around it: the experience will help you appreciate how well the West Links is integrated into its community a delightful little restaurant on the pier that serves sandwiches North Berwick has one of our favorite-looking pro shops: a low-slung building tucked into the bottom of a hill Word to the wise: when parking at the West Links try to use only the first three spots along the 18th hole {{content-block-course-profile-north-berwick-golf-club-west-links-002}} A Love Letter to North Berwick's West Links with James Duncan12 minJanuary 21 16 at North Berwick takes you away from the water toward some of the flattest land on the course the hole has one of the most sublime greens in golf Resembling a mix between a Double Plateau and a Biarritz the 16th green sits on a hard right-to-left angle and has a chasm running through the middle This design creates an insanely difficult back-left pin position (note: the author hit it stiff to here) along with a more gettable one on the front-right plateau Slightly increasing the challenge of the front-right hole location is a subtle ridge running in front of the green—likely an old The ideal spot for your approach is on the right half of the fairway {{content-block-course-profile-north-berwick-golf-club-west-links-003}} One of the benefits of my job is that I get to play a lot of new courses every year these courses typically fall into a few buckets: ones I’m happy to have played the West Links at North Berwick Golf Club is very much in the third category I set just two requirements: I needed to see North Berwick and I needed to cover the Open Championship at the Old Course at St We carved out an entire day for the West Links (We got a last-minute invite to play the Old Course in the afternoon The point of this story is that I wished I had gotten more time at North Berwick more chances to play the holes in different ways more looks at the captivating topography and greens But I guess that feeling says a lot on its own A great way to judge a course is by how much you want to go back out immediately after your first round courses have made me want to play more golf than North Berwick’s West Links I’ll just compile a few of my favorite things about my experience there: I love how the course interacts with the town It seems like you make just one turn from downtown and you are in the golf course’s parking lot How the homes and buildings rise up the hill and stack on top of each other make North Berwick feel bigger than it is these homes dissipate and eventually disappear the buildings get larger as your remaining time on the links gets shorter and shorter {{content-block-course-profile-north-berwick-golf-club-west-links-004}} North Berwick’s routing interacts beautifully not only with the town but also with the sea The course starts with a bang—the first three holes are right on the coast—but then the routing turns inland and stays there until the 10th The second seaside stretch ends at the 15th but there’s one more dramatic encounter with the sea on the 17th and the 18th finishes back where you started The second tee shot is astounding: you tee up and hit it over the beach to a fairway that runs diagonally to the right It’s basically a Scottish version of the drive on the 18th hole at Pebble Beach Yet you hear very little about this shot in the general discourse on North Berwick to two factors: 1) how fantastic the rest of the course and 2) how important placement in the round is Maybe this one is simply to early to resonate especially after a warm-up in a cage and a mid- to long iron off the first tee you meet a peculiar cross hazard: a wall and it feels like an entrance to the next part of the course Brendan Porath started cooking and actually hit his tee shot through the four-foot gap in the wall The inland stretch is sometimes maligned but I found it fascinating I was blown away by the complexity of the greens They sit wonderfully on the ground and have flowing contours that seem formed by sand The contouring of the second green and the subtlety of the eighth particularly stood out the famous “Pit.” But I’d go back to the 11th hole I love how it tees off in the seaside dunes and ventures down to a little valley before playing back into the dunes at the green A tee shot hugging the dune ridge gives a massive advantage for finding the green in two the 12th is one of my favorites—almost my choice for the “favorite hole” in this writeup with a beautiful green sitting out over the sea and a remarkable example of what a simple wall Play away and deal with the wall and the shallowness of the green Spectacular golf doesn’t require spectacular land “Perfection,” in a state you often you find yourself in with world-class golf holes: utter bewilderment I doubt I would have played as conservatively as I did The second shot reminded me of the thrill that the blind fourth at Fishers Island provides Cameron Hurdus and I speed-walked over the hill to see where our shots ended up I was confused by the look of the original “Redan” hole It didn’t look at all like the holes I had played in America that were supposedly inspired by it it’s amazing how vicious the false front is the 17th hole sits on arguably the best golf land on the entire course The hole entices you to go for the green and take on… the parking lot Hit the shot and get the reward of an eagle try; bail out left and your short game will be tested (How We Rate Golf Courses) North Berwick’s setting is ideal and its land perfectly scaled for the game The design is one of the most playful and fun anywhere not to mention one of the most influential in golf history The presentation is good enough for an Egg There are fairway and green dimensions to recapture It’s my understanding

York County Superior Court judge ruled Godfrey is to be held without bail at the county jail in Alfred (WOLF) — A community conversation was held Thursday evening at the Berwick Theater and Center for Community Arts Residents were given the opportunity to voice their opinions on quality of life improvements throughout the downtown area a place-based revitalization initiative created by Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh and administered by Pennsylvania Downtown Center provides training and resources to help local leaders create sustainable and thriving communities The organization has selected Berwick as one of the ten communities across the Commonwealth to participate in the program The goal is to create a strategy for comprehensive revitalization that focuses on enhancing the quality of life for residents by building up community assets Blueprint Communities consists of an 18-month process which had already started back in April 2024 The first phase of the project is underway with committee training and plan development until the end of 2025 the organization will have collected enough community feedback to get started on the implementation process which will continue for the following decade a preliminary survey of Berwick residents verified the values of the area and the visions for the future which resulted in the following summary: "Berwick is a tight-knit community that supports one another and comes together for various activities and causes This initiative will strive to identify opportunities to embrace and enhance that identity within the Blueprint neighborhood by analyzing societal aspects such as affordability sees the Berwick community as a place where the residents have shown time and time again to be exceptionally supportive of one another "We have the ability to do some things not just for ourselves now but for future generations of the people of Berwick I just encourage people to get into that Berwick spirit It’s so easy to think that things can’t change but they can but we really need the community as a whole to step in and make that happen for the change to occur," said Scoblink There are plenty of ways for residents to get involved whether its volunteering to lead survey opportunities or just simply participating in community feedback Berwick community members are also encouraged to complete this survey For more

A snowfall last week brought enough of the white stuff to open Powderhouse Hill for four days plus a fifth day solely for the Marshwood Ski Team which is owned by the town and run by volunteers saw a total of about 200 paying customers from Wednesday to Sunday “When we made the decision to open (last) Monday after the storm we looked and said it’s marginal but it’s better than not skiing so we groomed what we could,” said Dan Boyle president of the Powderhouse Hill Ski Club which has about 30 member families that keep the hill operating Powderhouse had its opening and closing day on April 4 the latest ever opening as well as closing known for all of its 2,000 vertical inches is open Wednesday and Friday evenings as well as Saturday and Sunday afternoons In addition to the four days the ski hill was open to the public the high school ski team used the hill Tuesday night “I skied Wednesday and Friday and it was great,” Boyle said The Marshwood team began officially using the hill two years ago when it made arrangements with the local club to have the hill to themselves on either a Tuesday or Thursday night when the hill is not open Rather than drive nearly two hours to Pleasant Mountain Ski Area “What the coach is looking to do is get them on snow as often as possible rather than go all the way to Pleasant Mountain,” Boyle said The ski team buys a lift ticket for each skier and they pay the Powderhouse Hill Club crew chief to work there and add in a few dollars for the gas to run the rope tow engine It winds up cheaper than heading to Pleasant Mountain in Bridgton A ski team parent is also trained to be a hill volunteer and help the crew chief run the lift A group called Friends of Powderhouse Hill which is under the umbrella of SoBo Central runs the concession stand and all profits go back to the ski hill Improvements made in the past year included wiring upgrades necessary after a large tree limb fell in a windstorm and ripped out some wiring The new wiring was buried to avoid a recurrence and all the aging wiring from the bottom to the top of the hill was replaced Town employees also upgraded the so-called mouse house where a volunteer stands ready to help skiers coming off the lift The town Department of Public Works also did work on the bottom of the hill to improve drainage in a wet area they have really improved the hill through the draining plans,” Boyle said “They have stepped right in when we couldn’t We would be in a lot more trouble if it weren’t for them.” Powderhouse Hill could well open again next weekend This story was originally
