TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO: The Vindicator sued Youngstown City Council in March 1982, claiming that council members were violating the city charter by meeting behind closed doors. Judge Forrest J. Cavalier issued a restraining order barring closed sessions. Listening to testimony are, background, from left, then councilmen George McKelvey, Herman Starks and Patrick Ungaro. In the front are Ann Przelomski, Vindicator managing editor; Bertram de Souza, City Hall reporter, and Timothy J. Jacob, one of the paper's lawyers.
