AFTER REPEATED warnings
'from the Michigan Department of
Agriculture to clean up, the above
conditions finally lead to the closing
of Magas Market.
According to Dr. Heffron,
divisional director, for the Michigan
Department of Agri�ulture Aore�ce
Janiszewski, was given several CIta
tions coupled with warnings to com
ply.
"I feel that the couple's age
played a major part in the l�cens�re
revocation. We tried working WIth
them to bring them up to code. After
several months, it became clear that
we would have to revoke their
license," Dr. Heffron stated.
In an interview, Anthony Janis
zew ki, 75, husband of the owner
•. said they were not giving up, that
they would continue to sell non-food
mercha nd ise from the store.
"We were treated unfairly." he aid,
"They made us pend thousands of
dollars fixing thi place up and they
till closed us down."
In recent weeks, it was revealed
through the Michigan Citizen that
