Tim Kilkeary is a driven man, and not only because he owns two North Strabane Township businesses.
He has been a gearhead, a car aficionado, for much of his life, pursuing a passion he seemingly acquired through DNA. His late father, Bill, had a similar fervor for vehicles.
Those passions morphed into professions for father and son. Forty years ago, in June 1981, Bill launched Kilkearyâs Auto Body Inc. at 647 Thomas Road. The repair shop endures to this day, having outlasted a number of regional competitors en route to a milestone birthday celebration planned for next month.
âItâs been a lot of fun. Iâm proud of the fact that weâve been here 40 years,â said Tim, 55, who, as a Peters Township High School student, began working there when it opened.

WASHINGTON, Pa. (AP) Susanne Sager and her husband, Matt, were taking care of business. For more than a decade, they had owned and operated Palazzo’s 1837 Ristorante, a fine-dining location along Washington Road in North Strabane Township.
Then last spring, COVID-19 intervened, stirring vats of turmoil at restaurants across Pennsylvania. In an effort to mitigate spread of the disease, Gov. Tom Wolf shut down “non-essential businesses” across the state, including indoor dining. Palazzo’s, like most of its industry peers, strove to persevere, offering takeout and outdoor dining, but ultimately suffered.
When she founded Bridge Insurance Group in 2013, Lynn Doehring went a different route.
For the South Strabane Township resident, âBridgeâ works as a metaphor for her transition from working for another agency to starting her own, and for the path that people can take for good insurance products.

And beyond the business aspect, she wants to provide a bride, so to speak, for women to find employment in her industry who have âmaybe been subject to the death of a spouse, divorce, downsizing or maybe even had spent time incarcerated,â Doehring said.
