said Thornton.

There are stones from

Independence Hall in Philadelphia;

stones that were used as ballast

from famous ships like the USS

Constitution (Old Iron Sides); stones

from the birthplace of Abraham

Lincoln; and a stone from Martha

Washington’s kitchen at Mount

Vernon; among others.

Among those items is a press wheel

from the first Duplex Printing Press,

which was made in Battle Creek; the

presses were used around the world

in the early 1900s.

“Brown was collecting stones and

other artifacts for his history Cairn

up to the time of his death in 1938,

and at that point, the tower was

never finished the way Brown had

intended. He died and the city ended

up capping the tower ‘as it was.’”

Thornton’s next program will be on

the history of Battle Creek Central

High School.

He said that creating these pro-

grams is not something he can do on

his own.

“I have wonderful resources

throughout our community that help

me pull together information and

some interesting stories about his-

toric sites around the area. There are

people in Battle Creek that care about

our history and heritage and support

each other in our efforts to share that

history.”

He added that each month he will

attempt to put together an entertain-

ing and informative program using

his collection of photos and stories.

Eventually, he will create a

YouTube channel where he will post

his programs.

“My hope is that by making these

stories easily available, educational,

and hopefully entertaining, people

will learn to appreciate our wonderful

home and learn to love Battle Creek

the way I do.”

Forks Senior Center in Albion is hold-

ing a public open house to celebrate

long-time volunteer Micki Ogilbee.

The open house will take place 3-4:30

p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 20, and will com-

memorate Ogilbee’s 17 years of vol-

unteer service as a Michigan Medicare

Assistance Program (MMAP) volunteer

counselor.

“Micki has been an institution in the

Albion community for many years. She

has consistently provided the highest

number of MMAP appointments within

our service area and has received many

awards of recognition from the state

MMAP office,” said Stacy Wines, CEO

of CareWell Services Southwest, which

administers the MMAP program.

“Forks Senior Center has benefited

greatly from Micki’s many years of

service as a Medicare counselor and

as a board member of the center,” said

Forks Senior Center Director Luann

Sommers. “Micki helped shape and

guide this organization through all her

years of service. We will miss her, but

know she has a well-deserved retirement

to enjoy.”

Senior center to honor long-time volunteer

Ogilbee also served on the Forks Board

for seven years, including two years as co-

president.

She also served on the Bronson Battle

Creek Community Partner Board, where

she advocated for improved services for

older adults.

Before volunteering, Ogilbee was

employed for three decades in public

schools as a special education instructor.

In 2015, Ogilbee was awarded the

Diamond Award of Excellence by the

Greater Chamber of Commerce in recog-

nition of her service to older adults.

In 2016, she was awarded the Tom

Feldpausch Community Loyalty Award,

and in 2019, she was selected for the

Joanne Konkle Volunteer Leadership

Award by Calhoun County Senior

Services.
