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

Coldwater seeks local solution to long-running odor complaints

COLDWATER, MI — After decades of complaints about industrial odors, the city council introduced a local regulation ordinance Monday night, Nov. 9. At its Sept. 28 meeting, the council asked the city attorney to draft a local law after complaints about odors from a rendering plant. Councilman Jim Knaack identified the Darling Ingredients rendering plant as the source of smell complaints during a joint city council and planning commission meeting on July 6 in a discussion of proposed ordinance changes. Attorney Amanda O’Boyle drafted the ordinance to give Coldwater a local system for investigating and enforcing nuisance odor complaints, instead of relying on Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy inspectors. Knaack said that by the time inspectors arrived, sometimes after days, from Kalamazoo or other offices, the odors had dissipated or changed. While not mentioning Darling Ingredients by name, council discussions in September and Monday night referred to odors from the rendering plant. Knaack said the plant manager said the odor “should not be an issue” and could be controlled, but the odor persisted. Odor complaints are infrequent and unpredictable. The council voted to introduce the ordinance after removing residential properties from enforcement. More discussion is expected at

DNR Shares Mining Concerns Near Watkins Lake State Park

The Michigan Department of Natural Resources is raising serious concerns about a proposed gravel mine next to Watkins Lake State Park and County Preserve in Norvell Township. In a November fifth letter to township trustees, DNR Director Scott Bowen warned the proposed operation could damage the park’s wetlands, water quality, wildlife habitat and recreational experience. The proposed mine would cover a 625-acre site adjacent to the park and Watkins Lake, with mining and truck operations expected to continue for 20 years. The DNR also cites potential problems from dust, noise and increased truck traffic. The letter comes as Norvell Township considers whether to approve or deny the mining permit.
