YOUNGSTOWN Despite numerous unexpected challenges 2020 presented to many area businesses, groups and faith-based organizations, the Mahoning Valley Association of Churches managed to end the year slightly in the black.
“Our financial situation was similar to how it began in 2020, despite difficulties due to the pandemic,” MVAC’s outgoing president, the Rev. Ted Brown, said during Thursday’s virtual annual board meeting.
Specifically, the Christian-based organization saw a $397 surplus, as it began last year with an $8,398 budget and closed out 2020 with $8,795, Brown noted. The budget finishing in the black was mainly courtesy of contributions from MVAC’s church-member organizations, the Youngstown Foundation, online donations and funds from board members and others, said Thomas D. Sauline, executive director.
Mike McGinnis-Getty Images Since 1995, the Packers and 49ers have played eight playoff games. Bigger Green Bay and San Francisco games from this period seem to have obscured this frigid showdown. Wisconsin native Colin Kaepernick bedeviled the Packers for a second straight year, accounting for 325 yards (98 rushing) and outplaying Aaron Rodgers on this day. After the 49ers held the Packers to a field goal to tie the game at 20, Kaepernick engineered a game-winning drive complete with an 11-yard scamper on third-and-8 to lift the visitors to a
23-20 win. This was the first of three straight Packers walk-off playoff losses.

CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) While Travis Etienne’s rushing total alone this season tells a disappointing story, the Clemson senior tailback believes there is a more positive tale that has made his decision to return to school for a final year well worth it.

THE first gay rights protest in the UK has been celebrated 50 years on at an event in Highbury Fields.
The park in Islington was a popular cruising spot in 1970 when Louis Eaks, a Young Liberals member, was arrested by undercover policemen for “importuning for an immoral purpose”.
In protest at his treatment by police, the Gay Liberation Front (GLF) held the first LGBT demonstration, which was attended by 150 people. A plaque was erected in 2000 close to where Mr Eaks was arrested.
