Pennsylvania anglers don’t have to wear their fishing license on them while fishing anymore. The state Fish and Boat Commission announced their board has approved the removal of the long-standing regulation. The change says anglers must still carry the license with them to present to law enforcement upon request. State officials say they hope the amendment means less worry over losing a license and the cost to replace it.

GLENSHAW, Pa. (AP) — Authorities have rescued an 11-year-old girl and her dog after they went over a hillside and became stuck in Glenshaw. Veronica Lavsa ran after her Golden Retriever named Penny after the dog got loose from the house and fell approximately 200 feet over a hill on Thursday night. Lavsa tells KDKA-TV she jumped from tree to tree until she reached the dog, but the two could not make it up the hill. Her brother called police.

Drinkers want fizz, low carbs, and Super Bowl ads reflect it
By DEE-ANN DURBIN AP Business Writer
When Americans crack open a cold one during Sunday’s Super Bowl, it may not be a traditional domestic beer. U.S. sales of classic beers like Bud Light have been dropping for a decade as new choices hit the shelves. First it was craft beer, now there are fizzy, fruit-flavored hard seltzers and canned cocktails. Baby Boomers are drinking less and younger drinkers want drinks with fewer carbs and calories. This year’s Super Bowl beer ads reflect the trend, with Anheuser-Busch promoting its new Bud Light Seltzer as well as its low-calorie Michelob Ultra.

NEW YORK (AP) — Lawyers for a woman who says President Donald Trump raped her in the 1990s are asking for a sample of his DNA. The attorneys for advice columnist E. Jean Carroll say they want to determine whether Trump’s genetic material is on a dress she says she wore during the encounter. They served a legal notice Thursday to one of Trump’s lawyers demanding the sample. Carroll filed a defamation suit against Trump in November after the president said she was lying about the alleged attack. The Associated Press sent a message to Trump’s attorney seeking comment.
