Sir Hugh Beaver, the managing director of Guinness Breweries in Dublin, Ireland, contemplated how one could verify who was first in the world. The Guinness World Records were born. His idea intrigued twin brothers Norris and Ross McWhirter to publish the Guinness Book of World Records. The first book hit the bestseller list by Christmas of 1955. The book is currently published in 100 countries in 23 languages. The publisher maintains over 53,000 records.

All elected officials and village administrators were in attendance except for Fire Chief Jon Kinn.
Visiting Allen East slammed four home runs, but the Bluffton High School softball team edged the rival Mustangs 14-13 in a seesaw Div. III sectional semifinal thriller Tuesday evening, May 9.
The Mustang girls fell to 10-10 with the defeat, while the Pirates improved to an identical 10-10 mark with the narrow win.
