Local woman celebrates her first birthday party at 90

Before her 90th birthday, Mable Thompson of Battle Creek had never had a party thrown in her honor. She didn’t go to the prom or have a wedding reception. The youngest of 13 children, Thompson said an individual birthday party would have been simply out of the question. Thanks to friends, family and the staff of perhaps her favorite place on earth, FireKeepers Casino Hotel in Battle Creek, she didn’t have to wait a full century to enjoy a party. On Oct. 24, 90 years after her birth in long-since closed Nichols Memorial Hospital in Battle Creek, Thompson celebrated the happy occasion at the casino, complete with well wishes illuminating from the resort’s marquee. “The party was unbelievable,” said Thompson. “There were about 50 people there, all my friends, my family, friends from the casino.

A colorful look at autumn in Holland and Saugatuck

"Holland In Photos," a series shot by Sentinel photographer Adam Vander Kooy, highlights the extra-ordinary happenings of your neighbors. HOLLAND — For this week's Holland in Photos, I captured some of the area's gorgeous fall colors near Holland and Saugatuck. Why is there still so much color along the lakeshore when other trees further inland have already lost their leaves? That would be the influence of Lake Michigan. The lake's moderating effect can delay the changing and falling of leaves near the shoreline. For your enjoyment, here's a look at some of the area's fall scenery before the leaves disappear for another year. If you have ideas for “Holland In Photos” — everything from weddings to concerts to home renovations to a picnic in the park — please send them to newsroom@hollandsentinel.com for consideration. — Contact photographer Adam Vander Kooy at avanderkooy@hollandsentinel.com .
