Regulated Deer Hunt Planned at Presque Isle State Park

Regulated Deer Hunt Planned at Presque Isle State Park. Erie, Pa - The Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) is offering a two-day, combined antlered and antlerless deer hunt at Presque Isle State Park, Erie County. The hunt is planned for Wednesday, December 9 and Thursday, December 10 and assists the Park with maintaining a healthy number of deer within the ecosystem and Presque Isle. When deer populations exceed an ideal carrying capacity, degradation of the park habitat can occur. On each day of the two-day hunt, up to 85 hunters will be allowed to hunt using shotguns that are not semi-automatic and are loaded with slug ammunition, black-powder muzzleloaders, or archery equipment for both antlered and antlerless deer.

No. 18 Ohio State women’s basketball wins against Mercyhurst, but UConn looms

The Buckeyes are four days away from a date with the Huskies. What did Ohio State show on Sunday?. Talk to most coaches and players and they talk about the next game. In these responses, the team never looks past the opponent it has ahead. That way the team does not overlook an opponent and get caught in a weak position. Sometimes its easier said than done. Ohio State women’s basketball was a perfect example of this on Sunday in a 91-57 win over the Mercyhurst Lakers, because four days later is a matchup against the No. 2 UConn Huskies.

Cathedral Prep's girls cross country team wins 4th PIAA team title in five years

(This story was updated to add new information.) No PIAA Class 2A girls cross country team has dominated this decade more than Cathedral Prep. The Ramblers solidified that status with a familiar result at a new course. Prep, coached by Therese Brown, finished first in the 2A standings for that Nov. 7 state final at Newville’s Big Spring High School. The Ramblers, with 92 points, beat District 6 Central Cambria by seven for their fourth state title since 2022. The year they didn’t win it all over that span, they still received the PIAA’s 2023 runner-up trophy. Prep’s latest title was unique in that it didn’t have a top 25 individual state medalist. “Don’t think I’ve ever seen that happen in all my years of coaching,” Brown said. “The only way to do something like that is to be super tight (as a pack) and be as far up as you can.” “But what that also tells you is that we didn’t have a superstar. We had a team of girls who raced for each other.” Sophie Becker and Audrey Schiedel were two of those Ramblers. They returned in 27 th and 28 th place with identical times of 19

Sales Tax Collections Up 7.6% Statewide Through September

State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli says local government sales tax collections across New York have grown by 7.6% through the first nine months of 2026, compared to the same period last year. According to DiNapoli's quarterly sales tax report, collections totaled $19.6 billion from January to September, an increase of $1.4 billion. DiNapoli adds that the year-over-year growth was stronger than the same period in 2025 (4.3%) and more than four times higher than the increase in 2024 (1.7%). In Chautauqua County, total sales tax collections through September have amounted to $75.6 million, an increase of 3.5% from 2025. DiNapoli cautions that local governments should temper their expectations for sales tax revenue growth, citing higher costs that could reduce consumer spending.
