Meet the Men and Woman 'Behind The Badge'!

(Massillon): The people of Massillon are actually quite lucky. Our community is protected by a great group of men and woman who serve as Police Officers with the Massillon Police Department. This story isn't about 'what' these men and woman do to protect us; but more about; 'who' these officers are. We began a series last year on 'My Massillon.com' titled; 'Behind the Badge'. These interviews gave us a closer look at the men and woman who are a part of the Massillon Police Department. We would like to continue this feature in 2016. We are hoping that this can be possible. One of the interviews was with our Larry Slagle. Larry had the chance to chat with Sgt. Brian Muntean. That interview is below.

 Meet Sgt. Muntean.

 

 

Thank you for your time Sgt. Muntean.
Thank you for protecting the fine people of Massillon.

Stay safe!

In closing; it seems the nice thing about Massillon is that we're small enough to have a personal relationship with our police department..

SEPTEMBER 21 2015:

Need help? Stark County Community Action Agency just might have your back!

(Massillon): With the poverty rate at almost 11% in Massillon, it's not about demographics or population breakdowns. It's about people! For whatever reason, there are people in our community that need help. They may be your friends, or your neighbors. You may not know about their needs because they keep it private. This article is for them.

Whether you need help with your electric or gas bill, or maybe you need food assistance or help with child care. Whatever that need may be; The Stark County Community Action Agency is a phone call away.

With the onset of Winter; the Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP) may be a program that you or a loved one is eligible for.

Another 'My Massillon' Business Review:

Liebermann's Bakery; Massillon has a sweet history!

Throughout our long history of adventures in Tigertown; we as Massillonians have always embraced the finer things in life. More specifically; a good donut! There was nothing better than a Johnnies cream stick after church on Sunday morning. Unless; ofcourse; you prefer the iced donuts and the crullers at Welch's Bakery. Let us not forget the sweet delights from Doerflingers, or perhaps Maier's Bakery Shop. Oh yeah; what about Kremples on the west side? Kremples continued to serve our west side families when 'Don Marchand the Bakery Man' ran it as The Brookfield Bake Shop.

Over the years; all of these wonderful family bakers slowly fell away to become a part of Massillon's museum of delightful pleasures; except one. Today; Massillon's last family bakery still thrives; and it does so to the delight of residents near and far.

We are proud to embrace our very own Liebermann's Bakery. As the last generation of Liebermann's roll out those delicious delights; we must salute their endless commitment and love of their vocation. We Massillonians will always embrace Liebermann's and the other family bakers from a history that created sweet memories and expanded waistlines. Join us now as we present an exclusive 'My Massillon' video feature of our beloved 'Liebermann's Bakery'...Enjoy!
