<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: x-large;">Hometown History: Dr. Eugene Debs!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: x-large;">An outspoken community advocate that went to jail instead of surrendering his beliefs!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">(Massillon): This past week; a small crowd of introspective thinkers had the opportunity to embrace a presentation about Dr. Eugene Debs, a man that never compromised his beliefs; even when he took a stand that put him behind bars.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Below is our broadcast coverage of a presentation about Dr. Debs by modern day activist; Dr. Will Cooley; History Professor from Walsh University. His address is about 30 minutes in length and proves to be very interesting; especially when he uses Dr. Debs as a vehicle to address our rights relating to the Freedom of Speech. It's an evening of hometown history, courtesy of your Massillon Museum ... enjoy!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: x-large;">Political Profile!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: x-large;">'MassillonLIVE' endorses Susan Palmer, Congressional Candidate for the 16th District!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">(Massillon): In its first endorsement for this years November elections; 'MassillonLIVE' is endorsing Susan Palmer; Democratic Candidate for the 16th Congressional District.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Although most of the Massillon proper is in the 7th District; there are many areas including portions of Jackson Township that include the 16th. Palmer will face off against Republican Candidate Anthony Gonzalez November 6th.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">It was brought to our attention that we did not state the reasons why we endorsed Susan Palmer for this seat. We were planning on doing so at a later time; however, we also agree that there is no time like the present.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">In several interviews we've had with Ms. Palmer; we see that she brings extensive experience from the health care industry both in the hospital room and in the administrative circles. Since health care is a major issue along with her opinions to protest Medicaid and Medicaid expansion; we support her platform on this issue. We also agreed with her ideas to raise the state minimum wage. Throughout our interviews; we found Ms. Palmer to be a strong woman focused on the grass roots needs of Ohioians. We have not heard from Mr. Gonzalez . It is for these reasons that we chose to endorse Susan Palmer for the 16th Congressional District.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Below; 'MassillonLIVE's' Larry Slagle goes 'one on one' with Palmer. Regardless of who you select; we urge all voters to do their research on all of the candidates prior to going to the polls in November.</span><br />

Political Analysis</em></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-large;">August 26th 2018:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: x-large;">How will you vote in 2018? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: x-large;">The Stark County Democratic Party has work to do!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieZVHMZA8OKyy5rArA2txQXqoM6x-piCONgcBPuttsygkWiyUXh0TJEdWnRpj1GR-1bgVXSavAR7nVNjrP9iHVKlwNgAdiT6D3bMzkXYXe8HftaNxZN1FuE1pSD2Gdrccwui8YHaOb-WQ/s1600/VOTERS.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="540" data-original-width="720" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieZVHMZA8OKyy5rArA2txQXqoM6x-piCONgcBPuttsygkWiyUXh0TJEdWnRpj1GR-1bgVXSavAR7nVNjrP9iHVKlwNgAdiT6D3bMzkXYXe8HftaNxZN1FuE1pSD2Gdrccwui8YHaOb-WQ/s320/VOTERS.jpg" width="320" /></a><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">(Massillon; Stark County): You're watching it on TV; reading it in the papers and it's popping up everywhere on social media outlets; The Blue Wave'! Otherwise known as a projected spike set to support Democratic candidates in November.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">In a nation that seems to be politically divided; the upcoming; 'off year' election could well set a <span style="font-family: "arial";">major precedent for 2020; or; will it?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">With all of the turbulence in Washington right now; it seems the very first place we need to look at is our own back yard. That same back yard has the undivided attention of many players from Capitol Hill.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Just so we are on the same page here; Stark County, Ohio is considered 'Ground Zero' for pivotal campaigns in many 2018 races. When it comes to party; our question is; who's ready and who's not?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: "arial";"><strong>THE REPUBLICANS:</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Whether you agree with Donald Trump and his antics or not; Republicans have had to work</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">a lot harder since he came into office. Sometime for the good and sometimes..not! However; on the local level; it seems that Republicans throughout Stark County continue to be very focused and organized. As we get closer to election day; they will flex their muscles and do the work that needs to be done because; basically our local Republicans are unified. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "arial";"><strong>THE DEMOCRATS:</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">The local Democratic Party seems to be a bit different. They are somewhat of a reflection of the National Democratic Party; disconnected! On the local level; our Stark County Democratic Party has a new Chairmen. His name is Sam Ferruccio Jr. When it comes to unifying the local party Mr. Ferruccio will have his work cut out. The local Democrats need to find each other and come together as one solid voice if they want any kind of success.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: "arial";"><strong>THE BREAKDOWN FROM 2016 TO 2018:</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">As shown in the above graph; the Red Ticket was dominant in both Stark County and throughout Ohio in 2016. Can the Democrats change that? One key this year is the female vote. With what's happening in Washington right now; many women are angry. Will that make a difference? especially with a surge in women candidates? We'll see.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: "arial";"><strong>THE MEDIA:</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">The other thing that we as smart voters need to be aware of is .. yep; you guessed it; The Media. Please remember that when you see an ugly ad ripping a candidate on TV; the money that paid for that ad comes from PAC's or special interest groups with agendas that have nothing to do with the real needs of the people. The same goes for those pop ups on social media.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">The best thing we can do as voters is our own research. Over the next few months we</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">should work hard to get the right information prior to going to the polls in November.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="font-family: "arial";"></span> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="font-family: "arial";">With all of this division going on; let's keep in mind that our true hero's are NOT in Washington. They are the found right here in our own community. There are the teachers; the police officers and firefighters, the nurses, the mechanics and the moms and dads that work hard everyday to make our community and families stronger for each other.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: x-large;">From House Floor .. To Immigration .. To what's happening in Massillon; State Representative Kirk Schuring sits down with MassillonLIVE!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">(Massillon): It was another week of hot button issues in the news. Along with those issues come questions and opinions. 'MassillonLIVE' had the opportunity to sit down with State Representative Kirk Schuring (48th District) and address some of those concerns.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Our own Larry Slagle talked with Schuring about what's happening on the State House Floor, to legislation that may involve Massillon; including the loss of Affinity Medical Center and the recent raids on <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Freshmark. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Below is Larry's 'one on one' conversation with State Representative Schuring..</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: x-large;">Foster Care! Growing up in the system!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: x-large;">A candid conversation with two young men who survived the system and want to make it better!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">(Massillon): Their names are Riccardo and Jeremie. These two young men have one thing in common. They were raised in foster care.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">In this broadcast interview; Riccardo and Jeremie talk about their experiences growing up in the system. They'll talk about being hungry when the refrigerator was locked with chains. They'll remember when they were beaten and abused. They'll reflect about a friend who was shot down and killed in front of them on the streets.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">This is the story about becoming stronger because you had no other choice. These two men were raised in a system that offered the basic human needs but had no long term love and compassion. They sat down with our own Ed Grier and talked first hand about their lives in foster care. If you would like more information; we invite you to reach out to Riccardo at 234-650-1981 or Jeremie at 614-557-1461.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">( Massillon): As we make our way through the streets we're busy. We're looking at traffic, talking on our phones and texting while driving (not a good thing). Maybe if we all JUST STOPPED, we might notice things that many of us turn away from. We'll call these things, 'people', more specifically 'Street people'.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">They're right there; walking by as you sit at a traffic light. Come on! You don't see them? Well, in reality, we DO see them. We just don't acknowledge them. They are the lost souls. They are the men and women looking for 'something'. In the end; perhaps the only real thing they really need is.. compassion!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">There is an organization that does just that. This organization is built on federal dollars but in the end; the people behind it, like many others in our community, are there because of their commitment to provide the basic love and compassion that every soul needs and deserves. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Julie Sparks is the Executive Director for 'I-CAN' Housing, a federally funded agency that works the streets looking for 'The Lost!' When her street team finds them, they work with their funding to create an opportunity. This opportunity will provide a roof over their head, nourishment and support they need to help them take the next step toward a better life.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">I-CAN also works with other agencies throughout our community like 'CommQuest' to provide counseling services as well. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">We need your eyes. If you feel that you have encountered a lost soul, make the call! You can reach out to' I-CAN' Housing at:330-455-9100. Julie and her team along with all of us here at MassillonLIVE would appreciate it.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-large;">May 20th 2018:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: x-large;">Campus shootings!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: x-large;">As a community, the solution may be in our hands!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">(Massillon): Another day, another shooting. The sad reality is with so many acts of violence, we have become desensitized. That is a very dark statement. Our children are dying at the hands of a violent act and we feel helpless. It's the guns! It's the lobbyists with the NRA! There's not enough mental health support! Many of these statements have merit but the bigger question is, even if all of those statements were in order, would that have stopped a determined shooter with a plan, or just changed that plan to meet that shooters ultimate conclusion of violence.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Have we come to a point where we have lost respect for human life? Thanks to the media and the entertainment industry, have we become numb to violence? These very issues may play a role in changing an awkward teen or someone with a heavy burden into a mass killer. To this point, all we have been able to do as a nation has been to react to these massacres.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="font-family: "arial";"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="color: #990000;"><strong>MAYBE THE PROACTIVE SOLUTIONS ARE FOUND RIGHT HERE IN OUR OWN <span style="color: #990000;">COMMUNITY</span></strong></span><span style="color: #990000;">!</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">To heck with Washington. It seems by the time they make a decision we will all be dead and gone from old age. Massillon is a unique city. First of all, we are a tight little town of folks that have each others back. Always have been. Secondly, resolving a problem is a lot easier when there's not a lot of hoops to jump through. You see a problem and you take measures to find a solution. Below are a few examples of that.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: "arial";"><strong>WASHINGTON HIGH SCHOOL:</strong></span><br />
<strong><span style="color: #990000; font-family: "arial";"></span></strong><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXL6AcOQBPgsfRybjDTTOpy7IBpxGMLyUDVPeQ_mUOMeYIFPbZdSEM-pgaiWlZJ5zkei4RGkQbGEdYValt07e5Y8jms1dflIYyWf7Mlse1VzJ-RFsrCm1kK57ssocrEV2PmFnF7tEv8yg/s1600/whsb.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><strong><img border="0" data-original-height="218" data-original-width="336" height="129" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXL6AcOQBPgsfRybjDTTOpy7IBpxGMLyUDVPeQ_mUOMeYIFPbZdSEM-pgaiWlZJ5zkei4RGkQbGEdYValt07e5Y8jms1dflIYyWf7Mlse1VzJ-RFsrCm1kK57ssocrEV2PmFnF7tEv8yg/s200/whsb.jpg" width="200" /></strong></a><span style="font-family: "arial";">Some people said it was a crazy idea, but the Massillon City Schools went ahead and installed a metal detector in the main entrance area of Washington High School. All students must go in and out through that area. At the open and close of school, the Resource Officers (Police) are out front on the grounds to be a friend and a guardian. <span style="font-family: "arial";">Other security measures are being activated throughout the district that we won't talk about for security reasons.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: "arial";"><strong>MASSILLON CITY HALL:</strong></span><br />
<strong><span style="font-family: "arial";"></span></strong><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWHeUCMGdFVnr808Ws8WyegevWYNfZVb-ppUCVtUNkeYIMf0CXEGy8SrRx_U-bfmsydIll-jVcdXBFcabIr9VIYePVJzhI5KmYbSRNQ1bZihvMeX-D-sIlssKEXNPUO_moNM0LcXyl2mk/s1600/councilb.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="200" data-original-width="280" height="142" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWHeUCMGdFVnr808Ws8WyegevWYNfZVb-ppUCVtUNkeYIMf0CXEGy8SrRx_U-bfmsydIll-jVcdXBFcabIr9VIYePVJzhI5KmYbSRNQ1bZihvMeX-D-sIlssKEXNPUO_moNM0LcXyl2mk/s200/councilb.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">If you've ever had to go to court to pay a parking ticket then you know that in order to get access to our courts, you go through a check point metal detector with law enforcement standing guard.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">In addition, a new detection system is now in place on the administration side and manned by law enforcement during city council meetings. City council chambers will also undergo security changes in the near future. The mayors office is being addressed as well. Bottom line? Massillon is doing whatever it takes to protect its citizens and our children. That doesn't mean something couldn't happen. That is why we should always be aware of our surroundings which leads us to our final thought.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: "arial";"><strong>A.L.I.C.E.</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Recently our city council and administration were addressed by Patrolmen Aaron Franklin of the Massillon Police Department. The topic? 'ALICE' which stands for ALERT, LOCKDOWN, INFORM, COUNTER and EVACUATE. This training presentation deals with how to respond to an active shooter situation. It is very informative and could save lives if anyone at city hall is faced with an active shooter. If you would like more information about this training presentation for your group or business, contact Patrolmen Franklin at The Massillon Police Department at 330-830-1755.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Massillon is not going to wait for Washington to come up with an answer. As a community, we'll work hard with each other to protect ourselves as a community. We hope that other communities will look into their own strengths to protect themselves. Perhaps the best thing to do in Washington is to mandate federal funding for safety protocols that we discussed here today for communities and schools across the country. </span><br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: xx-small;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-large;">Are Trump's proposed immigration policies bringing fear and anxiety to Massillon's migrant communities?</span><br />
<strong><em><span style="color: black; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: x-large;"></span></em></strong><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjODP2cOKztFYwLTCJwWsHjXdusgViMAz8TCJfUurBQKOpqYh3ioz2Rch6tSul7FrBnAQ7tcd2QFygvnHMq1SI7Zsny0S4tE3LwPmiUT7adjYWnvs38CLDz5-JiYWK0co3bEQJTT-IKcxA/s1600/worker.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: black;"><img border="0" height="173" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjODP2cOKztFYwLTCJwWsHjXdusgViMAz8TCJfUurBQKOpqYh3ioz2Rch6tSul7FrBnAQ7tcd2QFygvnHMq1SI7Zsny0S4tE3LwPmiUT7adjYWnvs38CLDz5-JiYWK0co3bEQJTT-IKcxA/s200/worker.jpg" width="200" /></span></a></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">(Massillon): This is the first in a series of investigative reports about the lives of immigrant families in Western Stark County and how the change in immigration law enforcement affects those families and our community.</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It's a community gathering of sorts. On a Friday night; Guatemalan and Hispanic families usually show up at a local food distribution center to get assistance. It's been going on for some time here in Massillon. These families are part of a community of migrant workers that lead a somewhat secluded life on Massillon's south side.</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Many of these families work for local companies doing jobs that no one else wants. Most walk to and from work quietly everyday. Are they illegal? That can only be determined by their individual cases.</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We are hearing that fear and anxiety are growing throughout these communities because of the changes with immigration law and how those laws are enforced which includes the process for deportation. This fear is coming from migrant families that have no criminal records.</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial";">Massillon is not alone when it comes to migrant workers. Many communities across the nation have a demographic of migrant workers that do jobs that others simply don't want. The immigration laws and deportation process that goes with it are being re-written as we speak. How will those changes affect Massillon as a community?</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: "arial";"><strong>A DOMINO EFFECT?</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial";">The Guatemalan and Hispanic Communities bring a cultural diversity to our city. Should we be concerned that such proposed laws will literally erase that culture from a historical heritage that contributes to the foundation of our community? Because of these changes, one day we could wake up and these communities within our city will be gone! Entire families and neighbors removed! That lends to the next question.</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: "arial";"><strong>WILL LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT BE A PART OF THE DEPORTATION PROCESS?</strong></span><br />
<strong><span style="color: black; font-family: "arial";"></span></strong><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghB8TGqETqKpkbRPNn5A9LMRpUrURH7xlV75Qe-ivYobsPhRIQkuqIhsUA7-0CaHdT9pH7ZkDEQLs3DRCfAm5M5PmM6MJSWV3UUNwMxk_vBqmbGFn24HEsNUh3tMiTFYDMGmL7-VFHS40/s1600/workerpolice.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: black;"><img border="0" height="135" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghB8TGqETqKpkbRPNn5A9LMRpUrURH7xlV75Qe-ivYobsPhRIQkuqIhsUA7-0CaHdT9pH7ZkDEQLs3DRCfAm5M5PmM6MJSWV3UUNwMxk_vBqmbGFn24HEsNUh3tMiTFYDMGmL7-VFHS40/s200/workerpolice.png" width="200" /></span></a></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial";">We're sure many agree that our own Massillon Police Department represent a group of dedicated men and women that are committed to serving and protecting us in a hundred different ways. Frankly,we're lucky! Our officers are a part of the community. Many of us have created personal friendships and have come to know their families.</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial";">In talking with Immigration Advocate Al Cerranza, that answer is no. During the below interview Mr. Carranza says that the primary responsibility of immigration law enforcement is in the hands of I.C.E.</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial";">There are many questions that need to be asked.</span><span style="font-family: "arial";">How would businesses deal with losing their migrant work force? <span style="color: #073763;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial";">From the local barber shop to Capitol Hill; immigration has become a hot button topic that has created turmoil across the country. Perhaps we need to remember that it was immigration that built this great nation.

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">(Massillon): Whether you live in Massillon, Canton or any other Stark County community; one of the top priorities for health care professionals as well as public officials is how to deal with the ongoing rise in opioid addition.

<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
