Joswiaks still committed to community post-property sale in Hillsdale
HILLSDALE — Ken and Stacy Joswiak are moving Southern Michigan RV to their campground in Allen after Hillsdale College purchased the dealership's property at 99 Carleton Road. The couple plans to consolidate with Southern Michigan Marble Springs Campground along US-12. According to Ken, the location will sell new and used campers, used cars and trucks, and offer RV and auto service, parts and accessories. “We love Hillsdale,” Ken told The Daily News. “We've made great friends in the past 10 years.” Stacy’s interest in camping encouraged the couple to enter the industry. Near the end of the COVID-19 pandemic, she wanted a tent so she could spend time outdoors reading with her dogs. Ken instead convinced her to get a small camper. While waiting for the buildout of their Gulf Stream Vintage Cruiser, the couple became a dealer for Gulf Stream. The Joswiaks have been involved with the Hillsdale Business Association, the Greater Hillsdale Humane Society, the Hillsdale American Legion, Jonesville Rotary and the Hillsdale Kiwanis. Their hands-on work has included painting playground equipment at Cold Springs Park, bathroom stalls at St. Anthony’s Church and a trailer for the American Legion. They've also helped with community events, including the Fourth

Adrian approves homelessness pilot program 'Find a Way Home'
The Adrian City Commission approved a pilot program to help individuals affected by homelessness reconnect with family, rehabilitation programs or other support outside the city Nov. 2. "Find a Way Home" was approved as a short-term goal after making homelessness one of four immediate city priorities Oct. 19. Officials previously discussed modeling the effort after Kalamazoo’s “Finding Your Way Home,” which helps individuals affected by homelessness reconnect with family and other support systems. As of August 2025, that program had reunited nearly 70 people with their families since 2023, according to reporting by WWMT. Mayor Angela Heath said the goal of the new pilot is to help those who want to improve their circumstances by providing a safe destination. “To get them to that family, to get them to that rehab or whatever it might be,” Heath said. Commissioner Charles Moore questioned whether the program would serve solely city residents or others who've traveled from elsewhere and are staying at Share the Warmth. Heath said it could serve either, including local residents with family outside the area. Moore also questioned whether vacated shelter beds would simply be filled by other people.

Jefferson Elementary marks 10 years of honoring veterans
COLDWATER, MI — Fewer veterans attended the annual Veterans celebration Friday morning, Nov. 6, at Jefferson Elementary School. This unique Branch County tradition to honor veterans began 10 years ago at the Vans Avenue second- and third-grade center. More than 300 students gathered around the flagpole and lined the sidewalks for the raising of the U.S. flag and Taps by the American Legion color guard. Students lined the halls as veterans, parents, and grandparents entered for breakfast in the cafeteria and a library program featuring songs and patriotic presentations by each class. A few parents took time off work to attend for their children. Dan Muckle served in the U.S. Marine Corps from 2007 to 2012, including a deployment to Afghanistan starting in 2009. His son and daughter attend Jefferson. “I think it’s really important for the students. It shows them they can support local veterans and that local veterans are supported by the community,” Muckle said. Kevin Brooks served in the U.S. Army from 2009 to 2017 as a military police sergeant, including a tour at Guantanamo Bay. Brooks, a St. Joseph County Sheriff's detective sergeant, took time off to attend. He said his third-grade son’s interest made him
