A LOOK BACK AT THE IMAGES THAT CAPTURED OUR ATTENTION

Staff report

2011 produced many opportunities for mem- orable images throughout the Valley, from protesters against fracking, to an Austintown man who is getting a new face and a new lease on life, to the changing of the mayoral reins in Youngstown, to Cardinal Mooney’s eighth state high school football championship.

Here are the top photos for the year as selected by Vindicator editors and photo staff.
