Millard George Mier, 89, passed away peacefully on Monday, Oct. 27, 2025.

In local leadership races, Yellow Springers elected a slate of new faces to every local body — Village Council, Miami Township Board of Trustees, Yellow Springs Board of Education and Yellow Springs Mayor.

Village Finance Director Michelle Robinson said at Village Council’s second and final budget session, Oct. 15, that the projected municipal deficit for 2026 is around $558,100 — down from an earlier estimation of $820,000, and now accounting for several Council special initiatives.

At the most recent Village Council meeting, Monday, Oct. 20, several villagers floated the idea of Council one day passing a law that bans conversion therapy within Yellow Springs limits.
