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.

Bluffton Village Council met on Monday, May 8 with a one-page agenda that didn't suggest any drama, with only this reporter and Jim Enneking of the Chamber of Commerce occupying the public gallery. Last meeting, Jim had a very aromatic coffee which competed for my attention; this time I brought my own hot drink. All elected officials and village administrators were in attendance except for Fire Chief Jon Kinn.
