The MRI Theater was designed with patients and clinicians in mind, helping clinicians
address some of the biggest challenges they face with MR imaging - claustrophobia and
patient anxiety. The features enhance patient comfort with a unique range of audio and
visual features, enabling clinicians to complete MRI exams quickly while improving patient
satisfaction. Patients can watch their favorite show or project expansive virtual reality
images onto a dome-shaped screen in the extra-wide bore to take their attention away
from the actual examination space. Patients can relax, watch Netflix, or feel like they are

COLUMBUS, Ohio
(AP) — Both public entities and private employers would be prohibited
from requiring vaccinations and workers could
not be ﬁred as a result
of refusing, under GOP
legislation pending in an
Ohio House committee.
The bill before the
House Health Committee also strengthens the
notices that schools must
provide parents about
exemptions they can
seek against having their
children vaccinated. The
legislation would also

repeal a state law requiring college students to
disclose whether they’ve
been vaccinated against
hepatitis B and meningococcal meningitis.
The legislation never
mentions COVID-19 or
the coronavirus, but in
her testimony about the
measure, Gross included
multiple references to
employers including hospitals requiring proof of
coronavirus vaccination
as a condition of employment.
Bill sponsor Rep. Jennifer Gross is a nurse
practitioner who says she
believes in vaccinations
and in personal choice.

“We need to protect
Ohioans from forced vaccination whether it comes
from the government,
school, an employer, or
even a local retailer,”
Gross, a Republican from
West Chester in southwestern Ohio, told the
Health committee last
week. She told fellow lawmakers she has received
other vaccinations but not
the one for COVID-19.
More than 100 people
submitted testimony
in favor of the measure
to the Health committee, which heard from
supporters Tuesday,
Gongwer News Service
reported.

TODAY IN HISTORY
Today is Friday, May 28, the
148th day of 2021. There are
217 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History:
On May 28, 1977, 165 people
were killed when ﬁre raced
through the Beverly Hills Supper
Club in Southgate, Kentucky.
On this date:
In 1863, the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry Regiment, made up of freed Blacks,
left Boston to ﬁght for the Union
in the Civil War.
In 1912, the Senate Commerce
Committee issued its report on
the Titanic disaster that cited a
“state of absolute unpreparedness,” improperly tested safety
equipment and an “indifference
to danger” as some of the causes
of an “unnecessary tragedy.”
In 1918, American troops
fought their ﬁrst major battle
during World War I as they
launched an offensive against
the German-held French village
of Cantigny; the Americans succeeded in capturing the village.
In 1929, the ﬁrst all-color talking picture, “On with the Show!”
produced by Warner Bros.,
opened in New York.
In 1934, the Dionne quintuplets — Annette, Cecile, Emilie,
Marie and Yvonne — were born
to Elzire Dionne at the family
farm in Ontario, Canada.
In 1937, President Franklin
D. Roosevelt pushed a button
in Washington signaling that

vehicular trafﬁc could begin
crossing the just-opened Golden
Gate Bridge in California. Neville Chamberlain became prime
minister of Britain.
In 1940, during World War II,
the Belgian army surrendered to
invading German forces.
In 1959, the U.S. Army
launched Able, a rhesus monkey,
and Baker, a squirrel monkey,
aboard a Jupiter missile for a
suborbital ﬂight which both primates survived.
In 1964, the charter of the Palestine Liberation Organization
was issued at the start of a meeting of the Palestine National
Congress in Jerusalem.
In 1972, Edward, the Duke of
Windsor, who had abdicated the
English throne to marry Wallis
Warﬁeld Simpson, died in Paris.
In 1987, to the embarrassment
of Soviet ofﬁcials, Mathias Rust,
a young West German pilot,
landed a private plane in Moscow’s Red Square without authorization. (Rust was freed by the
Soviets the following year.)
In 2003, President George W.
Bush signed a 10-year, $350 billion package of tax cuts, saying
they already were “adding fuel to
an economic recovery.”
Ten years ago: President
Barack Obama praised Poland’s

Five years ago: A 3-year-old
boy fell into a gorilla enclosure
at the Cincinnati Zoo; he was
rescued by a team that shot to
death a 400-pound gorilla named
Harambe after the rescuers
concluded that the boy’s life was
at stake, a decision that led to
mourning and criticism around
the globe.
One year ago: People torched
a Minneapolis police station
that the department was forced
to abandon amid spreading protests over the death of George
Floyd. Protesters in New York
deﬁed a coronavirus prohibition
on public gatherings, clashing with police; demonstrators
blocked trafﬁc and smashed vehicles in downtown Denver before
police used tear gas to disperse
the crowd. At least seven people
were shot as gunﬁre erupted
during a protest in Louisville,
Kentucky, to demand justice for
Breonna Taylor, a Black woman
who was fatally shot by police
in her home in March. The
government reported that about
2.1 million Americans had lost
their jobs in the preceding week
despite the gradual reopening
of businesses around the country. Organizers of the Boston
Marathon canceled the event for
the ﬁrst time in its 124-year history because of the coronavirus;
participants who veriﬁed that
they ran 26.2 miles on their own
would receive their ﬁnisher’s
medal.

Ohio State pondered playing football without Big Ten
By Ralph D. Russo
Associated Press

The president of Ohio
State University asked
athletic director Gene
Smith if the Buckeyes
could “go independent”
in a text message sent
the day after the Big Ten
announced in August it
would not play a fall football season.
The text from Ohio

State President Kristina
Johnson to Smith, dated
Aug. 12 at 8:04 a.m., was
among more than 2,500
pages of documents the
school released Wednesday night in response to
public records requests by
media organizations.
The documents
included numerous email
messages from Buckeyes
supporters to Smith and
Johnson, criticizing both

leaders and the Big Ten’s
decision to postpone
the season on Aug. 11
because of the pandemic.
“As an alumni I have
slowly been losing my
faith in the direction
of Ohio State, oh to go
back to the days of the
leadership we had under
Gordon Gee,” one emailer
wrote, referring to the
former Ohio State President, currently at West

Virginia University.
There were also email
exchanges between athletic directors in the Big
Ten proposing alternative
football schedules for
both a traditional season
that would start in September and winter/spring
options.
The Big Ten canceled
fall football on Aug. 11

Virtually all of Canada’s top NBA
players, excluding those who are
injured, have accepted invitations
to attend training camp next month
in advance of that country’s last
chance to qualify for the Tokyo
Olympics.
Canada will play host to a sixteam qualiﬁer in Victoria, British
Columbia, that starts June 29.
That is one of four such qualiﬁers involving a total of 24 nations,
all vying for the last four spots in
the Olympic men’s tournament in
Tokyo.
In all, 21 players accepted camp
invites from Canada — including
14 of the 16 leading Canadian-born
scorers in the NBA this season. The
only exceptions are Denver’s Jamal
Murray and Oklahoma City’s Shai
Gilgeous-Alexander, both of whom

saw their NBA seasons end early
because of injury.
Among those who accepted the
camp invitations: Golden State’s
Andrew Wiggins, New York’s RJ
Barrett, Memphis’ Dillon Brooks,
Oklahoma City’s Luguentz Dort,
Houston’s Kelly Olynyk, New
Orleans’ Nickeil Walker-Alexander,
and Indiana’s Oshae Brissett.
For some, like Barrett and Brooks,
availability will obviously hinge on
how far their teams advance in the
NBA playoffs.
“There is no greater feeling in
sports than the chance to represent
your country on the highest international stage at the Olympic Games,”
Canada senior men’s program general manager Rowan Barrett said.
“Our players and staff fully recognize the unique opportunity that
lies ahead of us and I would like to
commend them for their dedication
to playing for Canada this summer.”

council, been the class
president for three years, that he always wanted

to be in aviation, and
that after seeing a family
friend whose sons had
went through the academy it was something
he knew he wanted to
do. He will be reporting
there before June 24 this
summer.
Smith said that being
at the top of the class
was always a goal she
worked toward in high
school.
Asked what he will

remember most about
his four years at Meigs
High School, McConnell
said it will be the people.
“I have learned a lot
in high school and you
remember the people
that help you to learn it,”
said McConnell.
For Smith, it is Spanish class which she will
remember the most.
“I love the teacher and
classmates; we have a
great time and laugh,”

said Smith. “(Mrs. José)
helped me a lot with
school applications and
looked over my essays
(for applications). She
has had a big impact on
my high school career.”
McConnell said he
would encourage younger students to keep chasing their goals.
“Don’t quit trying;
never be afraid to fail;
always keep at it,” said
McConnell.
